Subject: "$15
MINIMUM wage, FREE!
college+university -
NEEDED N-O-W!"
(President/Party
Leader of
the Égalité
Party of Canada)
Hi,
Regarding
your
"Georgia
Straight" (http://www.straight.com)
article
entitled "Dragged down by debt" in your April 26th - May 3rd
issue
on page 47, I'd just like to point out that with the
Égalité Party of
Canada in power
post-secondary education would be FREE!
Regarding
your
article entitled
"Campus 2020 maps out road to
excellence" on page 60, I am NOT surprised that this former
top
bureaucrat, Geoff Plant, is advocating "MORE! BUREAUCRACY"
by recommending that there be "a higher education board"
filled
by MORE! CRONIES to be sure
:o) (perhaps, dare I say, friends
of his.) I strong feel it's this kind of
brazen, thoughtless, insensitive
thinking that results in unending tax
increases and he is a cham-
pion of this - perenial tax increases?
To
add to the
hilarity of this,
is the demand of povincial
parlaimen-
tarians to a hefty salary increase.
And
who is expected
to pay
for all this?
Post-secondary
students?
You
state in your
article that
their debt went up $10,000
under the
Liberals AND they now carry an average debt of
$27,000
upon completion of their studies.
What
kind of jobs
are they
likely to get?
High paying
or
low
paying?
The
Government is
crippling OUR
BRIGHTEST YOUNG PEOPLE
with
debt turning them into INDENTURED SERVANTS OF THE
STATE.
Does
this
mean they
canNOT have families like everybody
else?
How
long does the
Government of
Canada
expect post-secondary
graduates to postpone getting married and
then, postpone having
a family?
And
this is good,
responsible
Government?
The
Égalité Party of Canada does NOT
think so.
Clearly,
high
post-secondary
tuition fees and a low minimum wage
are no longer tenable.
The
Égalité Party of Canada therefore
pro-
poses FREE!
college+university
education and a $15 minimum
wages like that
in Australia
(subsidized by the Government if neces-
sary).
Cheers!
