We
are
not
even
two
months
into
the
school
year
and
the
government
has
already
decided
that
it
is
not
quite
met
it's
yearly
quota
of
bad
to
stupid
decisions.
On
Wednesday,
October
5
,
a
memo
from
the
Chretian
government
was
leaked
to
the
press.
It
was
proposing
a
7.5
billion
dollar
funding
cut
to
social
programs
and
in
particular
has
proposed
DOUBLING
existing
post-secondary
tuition
rates.
That's
right
,
boys
and
girls,
take
whatever
you
are
paying
now
and
double
it.
This
is
not
only
an
outrage
but
a
blatant
insult
to
any
and
all
students.
From
the
moment
we
enter
high
school
it
is
drummed
into
our
minds
to
continue
on
to
a
post-secondary
institution
and
get
an
education.

AGAIN!
Most
of
us
see
the
writing
on
the
wall;
namely,
if
you
don't
go
to
university
or
college
then
"have
fun
working
at
McDonald's
for
the
rest
of
your
life.
"
Many
students,
myself
included,
go
on
to
collegeuniversity
not
just
for
this
reason
but
because
we
want
to
expand
our
minds.
The
Government
also
encourages
us
to
get
some
form
of
post-secondary
education,
but
from
the
moment
of
acceptance
to
the
purchase
of
your
last
textbook,
the
real
truth
becomes
evident.
Mainly,
to
go
to
a
post-secondary
institute
be
prepared
to
sell
a
kidney
when
you
get
there.
The
costs
of
tuition
itself
in
general
is
not
so
bad,
but
is
the
other
costs,
such
as
housing,
food,
and
basic
necessities
that
cost
so
much.
These
are
the
costs
which
make
paupers
of
us
all,
except
for
those
lucky
enough
to
land
a
rather
large
scholarship
or
whose
parents
can
afford
to
help
with
the
costs.
The
average
student
today
struggles
to
make
ends
meet
on
a
daily
basis.
By
doubling
our
tuition
the
Government
seems
to
be
saying
that
'
Sorry,
one
kidney
wasn't
enough.
We'll
be
needing
the
other
one.'
This
is
simply
unacceptable.
We
are
here
to
get
Degrees,
not
find
out
how
much
we
can
work
during
the
week
before
we
collapse
from
exhaustion.
Of
course,
there
are
always
student
loans
and
grants
one
might
argue,
but
this
simply
does
not
hold
up.
Student
loans
are
much
harder
to
qualify
for
and
several
million
dollars
worth
of
grants,
bursaries,
and
scholarships
are
left
over
each
year
not
because
no
one
bothers
to
apply
for
them
but
because
very
few
can
apply
for
them
as
they're
so
obscure.
