As of November 5, 2026, post-secondary students across Ontario have organized walkouts on over 15 campuses to protest against cuts to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) and a 2% increase in tuition fees. The Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario (CFS-O), representing over 350,000 students, led these actions as part of their "Hands Off Our Education!" campaign. Students argue that such changes will exacerbate financial burdens on them and their families amid economic uncertainty. Protesters gathered with signs reading “Hands Off Our OSAP!” at prominent institutions like the University of Toronto and York University. The Ford government has defended its measures, citing a $6.4-billion investment in Ontario’s colleges and universities over four years to improve education quality and competitiveness.
