Protest talk - thread

[kelly25]

From what I understand is that the gouv is getting money from us workers for students but then students have to pay their school as well… its like paying something twice! I think we are all talking about this civilly and we don’t need to all have the same opinion, no judgment from me


Well after listening to weeks of facts and statements I’m leaning on the make some noise with the pots and pans side! I really did my homework here and I’m in no way an extremist but I do not support the special law nor do I think its right to pay education twice. I think something should be done about this in the next election and I am against violence and late night protests. Everyone that knows me is shocked because I started off against the protests!


Also one last thing I know we had to pay our school ect (this is what is said most often on radio, news ect) but really if that is a valid point then we should stop going to hospitals (because they didn’t do that back in the day) and we should remove 7$ daycares because back in the day we $$ much more then that. Well thats my oppinion anyways..

I actually believe that we are paying for people that go to hospitals for nothing. Some use hospitals like clinics, which we all end up paying for, but that's a different story. I still believe that the increases for this are justofied, but I do agree with the students about setting up some comittee to find out where money can be saved. That makes sense. I agree with the protest law because it sets fines for those who commit illegal acts. The right to protest is still there, but there are now rules as to how you do it.

By the way there are fees for elementary and high school also. Between fees, books and uniforms last year I paid about $1K each roughly so nothing is free.

I pay over $1k a month for 3 kids in private schools. Uniforms, supplies nad books on top of that.

I'm thinking of sending straight to uni as sounds like it's much chaper.

Students in Europe either don't pay anything for university tuition or in the few countries that do have fees, they don't amount to much more than $1500 CAN per year

Britain's fees are currently £3,375 per year for 2011-12. That's $5426 Cnd....

Here's a website which shows the costs in most EU countires

Ok some points this guy is trying to make.

Migrant workers - he is against bringing in mexicans to pick the crops because it's taking away jobs from young people

FACT!!! Go ask ANY QUEBEC farmer and they will tell you Quebecers WILL NOT do these jobs point finale.

Ah Yes picking on the anglos and McGill University - frankly I am done with anglo bashing - f.u. They have been trying to destroy McGill forever, keep trying, good luck

Asti j'ai honte - yeah really I am just like this arsehole, except I am "honte" of attitudes like his. GROW UP whoever you are(who is this guy anyways?)

....and the best of all , when your argument has no legs to stand on pick on the RICH RIGHT WING

Mine are in public school, so much for "free" school eh? Fees are going up every year. Darth I am sure you are rolling in it and have to make absolutely no sacrifices right?

There is word going around about the gouv banning immigrants coming here to do seasonal jobs that according to them Quebecois are capable of! It was on the politics radio station I listen to in the morning but not all the facts were talked about. Anyone else know about this??

Yes there may be new regulations, it was on CBC this afternoon, the government wants to limit the migrant workerscoming in. There are about 300,000 mostly from Mexico and the Islands that come in for a 4 year period limit. They want to reduce the wages they are paid. 9 provinces currently hire these workers because the locals will not do the hard labor it requires.
