Image of a Toronto Star opinion piece on a tablet. The title of the article is: opinion - federal budget creates a massive educational opportunity for Doug Ford. A pulled quote at the top of the image reads: The premier has a golden political opportunity to swoop in to save Ontario’s universities by restoring adequate public funding for post-secondary institutions.

Diane Orihel, Associate Professor at Queen's University
