"textContent": "Friends,\n\nAs many of you know, I was fully locked and loaded to be on the ground at the Queen's Park demonstration against the OSAP cuts. I wanted to be in the crowd, shoulder to shoulder with you, letting the suits at Queen's Park know exactly how I feel about them \"balancing the budget\" on the backs of students.\n\nHowever, my own lungs have other plans.\n\nEver since I landed back from Calgary, I've been fighting something off. Most of the symptoms have cleared up, but I'm left with a brutal, watery cough that hits me out of nowhere so hard that I literally lose my breath. As much as I hate missing this fight, I'm heading to the doctor tomorrow to make sure there isn't something seriously wrong.\n\n**But listen to me carefully:** My absence does not mean this fight takes a backseat. In fact, it means I need you to fight twice as hard.\n\nTo every single zoomer reading this: **You need to be at that demonstration.**\n\nThe message we need to send to Doug Ford and his PC's is simple, and it's non-negotiable:\n\n**You work for us.**\n\nWe are the future of this province. We are the workers, the innovators, the taxpayers, and **we will not tolerate being priced out of an education**. If they think they can slash our funding and we'll just sit quietly and take it, they are sorely mistaken.\n\nBe loud. Be visible. Make them understand that every cut has a consequence, and every vote has a memory.\n\nI'll be watching the feeds, wishing I were there, and I'll be at my computer supporting however I can from the sidelines until I get this cleared up.\n\nStay healthy, stay angry, and stay involved.\n\n**For the students. For the future.**\n\n— **Will Adams**\n _Editor, The Provincial Times_",
