Well if they made it free then the poor students wouldn't feel the need to work as hard then. Wasn't it said earlier in the thread that these increases aren't going to apply to students from low-income families.

What are the potential and/or likely earnings of someone with a Visual Arts Degree, Communications Degree, English Literature Degree, Philosophy Degree or my favourite, The Poly Sci Degree. BoA's are actually becoming increasingly useless. If Post-Secondary education was a guarantee of future affluence then the tuition should be considered an investment.

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1168871--forum-research-poll-puts-ndp-ahead-of-the-conservatives?bn=1 I'm not terribly worried about this because the Liberals are at 22%. I don't see the NDP going against the CPC head to head in Ontario and winning.

So only women can debate the issue then? So you should tell men that support a woman's right to choose to stfu. But you should also entertain a debate with other women who have reservations about abortion. Only logical right?

That's another debate where the people on one end won't entertain the idea of altering our unsustainable healthcare system.

That would call for legislation to restrict abortion in some ways. It opens a pandora's box. Why then can't we restrict late term abortions or abortions of children that have disabilities. Which are things I support, but it illustrates that the abortion issue isn't black or white as people on the opposite ends of the issue would like to think. There is room for debate about it.

Maybe not in our Anglo-Saxon enlightened world. But as the doors of this country are opened to people that don't have the same values as we do, you can definitely see it happening. Isn't there a shortage of women in China because the parents there only want men?

We have seen in the past that people on the left will compromise their views on women's rights if they come in direct conflict with their quest for multiculturalism. That baby girl isn't real anyway. I guess if you just don't want the baby because it'd ruin your social live it's cool, but is it cool if you want a baby but just not a girl. The other question is the issue of mental retardation. It can be detected if a child has Down's Syndrome before birth. Is it ethical to abort the fetus then if you want a child but just not . . . that child. Because once the child is born the same people that fight for the right of him/her to be killed will fight for public funding to go for special treatment for the child. It's always an interesting paradox.

Yeah it was said earlier in the thread that these increases won't affect low income students who have to take out loans. The people that are rioting are privileged youth that just don't want to pay for their education I'd imagine. If education is free then I predict people will go just cuz. And we see that many students are getting degrees that get them no closer to being gainfully employed than just starting work after high school. Anyone who has HBO should watch the new series Girls. It illustrates how post-secondary education really doesn't go as far as it has in the past.

I've heard that after these hikes that Quebec will still have the lowest tuition rates in the country.

A 12-year-old kid brought a loaded hand gun to school recently in Toronto. So. . . I guess so.

Universities are multinational for profit entities? I think part of the need to raise tuition is because Universities can't keep their costs under control. How often do where hear about support worker strikes at University campuses.

I do think the lack of any restrictions on abortion whatsoever are problematic. For example gender-based abortions where immigrants to this country are getting abortions because their child is a girl. Is that the kind of stuff the government should really be funding?

Huh? I was just comparing this event to a historical event. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Crisis I heard a Toronto radio personality from Quebec compare what's going on in Quebec to the October Crisis. Imagine in Stephen Harper did what PET did then? People would freak.

That's essentially what the War Measures Act is.

You're right I don't. Enlighten me. Are there examples of rioting effecting political change in Quebec. The October Crisis perhaps? If PET was in power, would anyone be surprised if he declared Marshall Law.

I don't agree at all in regards to Roz. She's been used effectively three times this season. In the first episode they showed that she's advanced to training the "ladies" then they go into the whole killing of Robert's Bastards kids, that leads us to remind everyone that Gendry is with Arya on their way to the wall. Second scene showed how Littlefinger is a douche and has no sympathy for the emotion of Roz. And the third scene was the best example to date of what a sadist Joffery is. In the first season she was also used effectively to illustrate how big a perv Theon is.

That's what he campaigned and got elected on.

So Rioting over education is supposed to get results? Why isn't the NDP running in the next provincial election and making this a plank on their election platform? That's how you effect change in democracy. I have nothing against demonstrating, but violence doesn't effect the type of change you'd want. In Egypt they didn't riot, they stood in a circle for weeks and the dictator they wanted removed finally gave up.

Well those riots lasted one night. These having been going on for like a month.

Yeah but she's got nice boobs. Apparently that guy Stannis didn't get busy with the Ginger Witch in the book either. Regarding Danyerys, They only had two scenes with her in the first three episodes, that's why, I think we'll see more of her going forward. If you notice you'll have full episodes where certain characters aren't even shown. Didn't see Jon Snow this week, Didn't see Rob at all last week. The book is written in chapters from a character's perspective. So a character will be labled Jon Snow, Arya, Jamie Lannister, Danyerys etc. So we can assume a scene is trying to jam a chapter or so into it.

The Quebec government gave money to the banks? When did this happen?

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/1168168--violent-student-uprising-over-tuition-hikes-sparks-talk-of-quebec-spring?bn=1 Welcome to the real world where the price of stuff goes up all the time. I wonder what the world would think if Ontario rioted over the price of electricity. I like this though. Yes compare your plight as a student to the plight of Arabs in countries where similar actions as you've shown would result in much harsher violence and perhaps death.

Ford isn't the one advocating for toll roads in Toronto. The better way to ding people coming into the city would be a parking surtax because everyone that comes into the city has to park for a period of time. But that also dings people that lives within the city, but if you live inside Toronto and still drive around, you can probably afford the hike.

No one is being forced to use it. It's a fantastic highway if you value your time over the money you spend on it.
