The youth are not always right, but the society which ignores them and beats, is always wrong.

les gens qui sont tanne de payer plus de 50% de taxes pour les cris d'etudiants qui veulent rien faire dans leur vie. est q'vous etes des chialeux!!

I don't understand the logic of throwing money into a fire and wondering why it won't go out.

Why should Quebec students be isolated from reality? Every province has ever rising tuitions and we don't have the benefit of the separation temper tantrum to wring every last dime out of the part of Canada that actually works to subsidize our socialist lifestyle.

who's going to pay these tax dollars to cover the cost of the ever rising costs for voluntary education?

[hu6h057]

In all honesty, I don't see where the following logic leads anyone; "If I had it hard, so must they...". Not to constructive if you ask me or anyone with an ounce of judgment.

Plus, when you account the facts that we provide multinationals with over 900 million dollars and that it would cost us 836 millions to achieve partial gratuity for higher education, it does not take a genius to realize that maybe our priorities are misplaced.

[rrtodd95]

Work is the solution.

I was thrown out of my parents home when I was 16. I worked part time and lived in what essentially was a half way house. When I turned 18 I was tossed out. I worked 2 full time jobs all summer & lived in very carefully to put myself through university. I landscaped, waited, worked as a bouncer at a gay bar, planted trees & I never took a hand out.

I'm all in favor of student loans for those who don't have the money but why shouldn't they pay their own way?

[hu6h057]

Well this changes my perception of you. You are right to save for your kids. That is what sensible, responsible parents do. But unfortunately, we cannot expect every parent to be like that. Most people do not have a high salary enough to put money aside for their kids.

So for the kids coming from these families to have the same opportunities as your kids, what would be your solution?

[rrtodd95]

No, I'm paying for my kids with REP purchases. I cut corners and work extra projects so I can ensure that my kids will have the money they need for university.

As of today, my kids could do a 2 years of University with NO DEBT. They're 5 & 3. Can your kids say the same? I have 12 more years to save.

That is my choice.

It is not my choice to subsidize spoiled brats in Quebec when if I sent my kids there to do the same degree they'd get gouged.

[lLavictoire]

Do not try to reason with such individuals. They are socially flawed. They never did their homework and will not start doing them now. They are stuck in a loop.

Let them loop for ever while the rest of us advances.

Anyone who is not able to add the facts that student life is harder in 2012 than it was 20 years prior should be ignored.

[hu6h057]

Also, I am "still paying to this day" because I still go to the University to specialize myself. I do not need loans or any form of financial help. My employer pays for most costs associated with my specializations. You demagoguery only points towards one thing and one thing only; Jealousy. You should be ashamed of yourself for not wanting your kids to have it better than you had it yourself. You are just like your dad; cheap, narrow minded and probably frustrated for some reasons...
