👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford is headed to Washington on Monday for high-level meetings with officials in the Biden administration and business leaders, according to a senior source with the province. The trip is being described as a trade mission aimed at attracting more skilled workers to Ontario, while also highlighting the harm caused by U.S. protectionist policies. It will be the premier's first visit to the U.S. since protest blockades over pandemic mandates shut down the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont., disrupting the vital trade corridor for several days and costing millions of dollars. According to the source, "Premier Ford will also reaffirm that Ontario is a safe and reliable jurisdiction for investment and business."✅ . . #DougFord #malayalisnearme #washington #USprotecionist #dailynews #dailynewscanada #premierford

👉Premier Doug Ford announced Tuesday the addition of more than 450 new postsecondary positions across all six of Ontario's medical schools. Ford was joined by Health Minister Christine Elliott and Minister of Colleges and Universities Jill Dunlop in Brampton for the announcement. The new seats will be broken down into 160 undergraduate seats and 295 postgraduate seats. “With this investment, we're supporting more students to take the path to become a doctor and creating the family doctors and specialists that will take care of us in the years to come,” Ford said while speaking to reporters. “And we're bringing these opportunities to our growing cities like Brampton, where there's so much talent and strong desire for people to give back to their communities.” The Ontario government says this marks the largest expansion of undergraduate and postgraduate education in over a decade.✅ . . #premierford #brampton #malayalisnearme #medicalschools #canada #dailynews #dailynewscanada #canadaeducation

👉Premier Doug Ford aims to reserve all spots in Ontario medical schools for provincial students, urging a shift away from the current 18% international enrollment. At an announcement for a new medical school at York University, Ford emphasized prioritizing local students. However, NDP Leader Marit Stiles criticizes Ford's remarks as disrespectful to internationally trained physicians and migrant workers, calling his stance exclusionary. Ford's comments come amid discussions on post-secondary institutions' reliance on international students and recent tuition freezes. Ontario faces deficits in colleges and universities, prompting calls for increased funding and support for student needs.✅ . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.
