Anonymous Coward User ID: 30718910 Canada 02/26/2013 07:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 6 months ago I was protesting in the streets to stop that 75% hike in tuition fees + that stupid bill 78. We won after more then 100 days of demonstration. Day and night. Quoting: 1335128 261846 Liberal governement was then replaced by the Parti Quebecois (one of Quebec's separatist party). Now the PQ said the indexation would be a better choice. Instead of 75%, it's only 3% which I think isn't too bad. But the students are now protesting to gain Free Education. I like the idea, but I'm not too sure what to think about it... Hope it won't degenerate. Remeber Montreal Police state 2012? Thread: MONTREAL POLICE STATE 2012 (With video) Must Watch!!! What happened to all the video? |

Indexation is just a cash grab,teachers teach what they know so why index it? Most in the EU provide free post school education for their own citizens (who are resident) and those of other EU countries. Scotland also provides free tuition, but the rest of the UK does not. I hope you have a good claim to the citizenship of one of the countries in the EU, because you cannot just apply for it and get it! By the way you also have to be resident in the country first, for a qualifying period to get your fees free. Citizenship is not enough. Canada would make it back in spades if they gave it free. |

Because of Quebec's current economical situation, free education can't be achieved right now. But the government said it could be possible in the years to come. Not right now. Remember Pauline Marois government just replaced the liberal party. They found so many irregularities in the budget and now the PQ has to take decisions. Indexation is a compromise. |

Right. There are big picture issues here. I traveled throughout the US this summer and most of the students I spoke with had no idea the difference in the tuition prices they were paying (often 50000$/yr) compared to what students in Europe, Quebec, Canada pay. I have been a prof at a Canadian University and have seen first hand how many students suffer because we do not have equal access to education. And there are many more young people who can not get access to higher education in any form. This is huge a problem. It's great to see the students and residents of Montreal speaking out and working collectively towards more sustainable solutions. The second big issue that these protests shed light on is the extreme use of police force used against peaceful and unarmed protestors. This is political suppression, and the suppression tactics we see here are very similar to those faced by demonstrators, people, the world over. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 33446216 Canada 02/26/2013 08:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Legislation that will rise the costs and reduce the access to quality education and universities. And fucking good on that, These protestors can kiss my fucking ass, This is one protesxt that im on the pigs side for. These fucking useless montreal kids are crying over increased cost of education there, AND YET they pay the LEAST out of anywhere in Canada. What makes them so fucking special, other then their insane feelings of superiority, lets not mention the fact that most people in montreal want to break away from canada completely. Sorry guys but go pigs go on this one. these kids dont deserve shit when i am a student and i dont even get as much as they do. Piss poor performance by montreals youth today. Because they pay twice as much taxes as you? The tuition fees are small but they are funded by the taxes. Fact: Quebec has the highest tax rate in North America |

You suffer Canadian herd mentality, you are willing to bury your head in the sand as education costs soar, you are the reason tptb screw you sans lube. I was denied Post secondary due to my socioeconomic status, and I had to work my ass off like a good little slave to save to go to trade school. That's all in the past just after many grants, and incentives were taken away, I did it, and have no sense of entitlement, but I tell you what Canadas NATURAL resources could pay for all school, medical, and infrastructure, but we the people prefer to let multinationals profit from EVERYTHING even your poo yes you pay every time you poo! Look into it you f^cking slave! |

I hope the police win. And I hate the police. Awfully cynical. Discernment is key. Riot vs protest. Protests don't cause 'police to tighten their grip', protests inform, unite, and help reveal the scope of ideological suppression tactics and force. A lot of the people demonstrating are involved politically, and recognize the role that demonstrations can play in promoting positive social changes. |
