i'd like to just state that i was totally wrong.

As a former ED of @OUSAhome and now a voice around the @OntUniv table, I am proud to promote this joint statement 🤝 🤝 Investing in Ontario’s universities is good for the future of this province.

It was a treat to hear Premier @dennyking speak to @lraitt about rejecting political polarization (timely) and how PEI is solving problems that face all provinces like affordable housing and economic diversification. I’m so glad a place I love dearly has a strong leader! 🇨🇦
