"I'm worried that you're going to see somewhat of a revival of separatism in Quebec. I don't think western alienation's being addressed. I'm worried that it may end up with a more divided Parliament and a more divided country than we did before."

Does anyone actually believe that this resignation is about spending more time with family? O'Regan knows the Liberals are going to lose government in the next election and doesn't want to be in Opposition. He'll likely get a job in the private sector.

Last night, a woman approached me while I was volunteering at the LSPU Hall and congratulated me on completing a Bachelor of Arts degree at Memorial University. She then said, “By the way, I loved everything you did with Vianne.”

I have had many students stop me in the hallways on MUN Campus and express the same feeling of appreciation. They might not know how much their words mean to me, but they are the reason why I keep fighting for a better university for all.

Memorial University faculty and students are voicing concerns about potential cuts to a professional psychology program. They say it could have dire consequences for the mental health crisis in the province.
Governance and finance decisions that have been made in recent years at Memorial University have been detrimental and destructive to academic staff members, support staff members, and students' well-being across our campuses.
