Fair. The 6% is OCUFA's own framing, the base operating per-student increase; the full sector package was bigger, $6.4B over four years. And agreed on tuition, the freeze pulled Ontario down the pack. The post's metric was per-student public funding, still last in Canada (OCUFA).

Ontario spends less on a university student than any other province: $10,481, against a national average of $17,424 (OCUFA). The Ford government's 6% increase in February doesn't change that ranking. It lifted the tuition freeze too. Students make up the difference.
