Loyalist College in Ontario has cut 30% of its programs, primarily due to budget constraints exacerbated by federal policy changes limiting international student enrollment. This situation reflects a broader crisis affecting various colleges across the province, raising concerns over the future of educational offerings. While local candidates understand the gravity of the issue, the larger political discourse, particularly during the Ontario election, remains notably silent. Experts warn of potential significant program closures regionally, which could leave Ontario students with drastically fewer educational choices moving forward.

Usher warns that over 1,000 college programs may close in Ontario, significantly reducing educational choices for students, which should be generating significant public concern.
