Quebecers,

We got fucked real bad this semester. And its pretty much a sacrifice we did for our next generations, which I think are more retarded than us every years. Thoughts?

Inb4 no thoughts you little NS shitheads.
 
Wait, was this the strike where you complained about paying a few thousand dollars in tuition a year? If so you fuckers just made yourselves look like spoiled pieces of shit.
 
dude, your american shut the fuck up. Im proud of you Quebecers for standing up against these tuition hikes, don't listen to any of these americunts.
 
tuition hikes? Lol. You guys have it lucky up there. Going to a community college down here costs as much as going to a university up there. Stop being such whiny bitches.
 
So glad I'm home for the summer and don't have to put up with this atrocious group thought. Price has barely changed since the '60s and there's a little something called inflation. Sacrificing education standards for tuition prices is fucked. /rant
 
WOW! Dude. I'm from quebec and I fuckin love that. even my parents had a good laugh at it. haha! My mom even said LIKE THAT SHIT!
 
yes, why do you guys put up with those crazy prices? thats the point im trying to make you guys just roll over to the man.
 
Congrats, your mom is meant to die soon anyway, following social standards. Tuition raises are a disgrace to our society, even raising it by 00.01¢ is unacceptable.
 
haha good. When I first heard about this I literally laughed out loud. It's sad how entitled people have become nowadays. To go to the school's that i'm looking at varies from 15,000 to 40,000 a year in tuition. Kids in quebec pay less than that for their full four+ years. And like the other kid above me said, there's this cool thing called fucking inflation. The cost of tuition is rising everywhere. Instead of wasting people's time/their own time rioting, these kids should have been doing something productive with their lives.
 
Please enlighten me if I'm so ignorant. How is anything I said in the post not a valid point. Kids these days, throw around ignorant and don't even know what it means...
 
going to a private university that you will almost always have to take student loans out on to pay for tuition is not very productive in my mind, thats debt bud, and thats all you americans seem to have nowadays.
 
Ummm....only in rare cases will you find someone who can leave four years of schooling debt free. Unlike people in Quebec, the cost of schooling from community college to Harvard all require student loans with the exception of A. Being rich, B. Getting a full scholarship, or C. Saving your money for god knows how long.
 
Just to kick things up, how are you even comparing US tuition fees to Canada's fees? You guys are straight conformist morons. Our government had such a bad gesture of our economy, its about time we get in the streets and protest, no mather the cause. You need to see behind the tuitions fees motto. You probably come from a suburban family who had no problem sending you to school and thus having the conservative point of view because in reality, they simply don't give a fuck. Most people protesting in the streets have troubles paying their tuition? Not at all, you need to look further.
 
Wow. That's actually a pretty funny post. First let me state that no, I'm not from a suburban family who sent me to school. In fact, my parents recently got divorced and what little money they had saved for my schooling disappeared in the settlement. I'm working full time and going to school to help pay off my loans, a concept most quebec students probably wouldn't understand.

I don't make the prices set in my country and hey, they may be high, but guess what? If I want to get a job I need a fucking college degree, involving me going to a college. And guess what again? Even if we had a bunch of pussy little riots like you guys, our prices wouldn't even come near what yours are.
 
and I guess what I'm trying to say by all of this is that people in quebec should be grateful they pay so little for schooling. If you were born and lived in this country you'd realize how good you guys ave it. Stop being ungrateful.
 
do you aometimes stick barbed wire up your bumhole while your grandma goves you a handie and george bush fondles your balls?
 
let me preface this post with this: I dont like the sharp rises in tuition seen though out canada and the rest of the world and believe taxes should fund continued education fully rather than partially.

That being said, until education is free for everyone you should look at things comparatively. Quebec students have been on strike over their tuitions being raised to... the lowest rates in Canada! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS OUTRAGE! That means that in every other province's students pay more than you. The average tuition rate in Canada is $5,366 for an under grad degree, and you're outraged because you pay $2,519 a year? less than half of the average price? I understand the plight of the student, hell I am one, but I do not understand why quebec's students are in protest when Ontario's students pay (on average) $6,640 per year for their under graduate studies. (That is 263% of a Quebec student tuition per year.) I completely understand the outrage in tuition fees increasing, but the fact that Quebec's students are making a big fuss over having the lowest tuition fees in Canada just makes you look like a bunch of spoiled children.

Before you ask where I got the numbers from here is a link: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/educ50a-eng.htm

 
Being a rioter means you don't have a job?

I'm not a rioter, but I'm behind the movement 100%. I think its the thing you're a missing here. You americans think all strikers are hippies with no job. I have a job, study at school to get over those stupid high prices, but while we're at it we can protest and give our opinion on those ridiculous fees.

What are you guys waiting for? You'll still work your ass for regular tuition even if its at 100 000$? We, quebecers, won't reach that retarded amount (iEX: 40 000$) you guys thought was "acceptable" in today's society.
 
you guys sound like you're 12. Look beyond comparison.

I smoke crack, but its not that bad, I know crackheads who spend all their money on the rock and have nothing left to live on. So I'm not that bad right? RIGHT???

If all people on this fucking planet had the same thinking you guys have, fuck, we'd still be living on rocks.
 
why look beyond comparison, that is how you can judge something. for example, Quebec rioted over having the lowest fees in canada, by comparison to the rest of Canada they are being winey entitled children.

Comparison is something you use to get a base line (particularity comparing averages to the item in question.)

Perhaps you should have tried going to school instead of complaining about it.
 
No it's right to stand up for a cause, but not one as trivial as slightly rising tuition in an inflating economy. Honestly, any argument you bring up is invalid. Look at Cufe's post, you have lowest tuition in Canada and you are still complaining. Fucking losers.
 
Alright so if Canada's tuition fees are to be raised higher than the US, you guys shouldn't complain and follow up?

There is a time were you stop the comparison, sit, and ask yourself, is this right?
 
Well, that would call for a 200-5000% increase in tuition and I highly doubt that will happen any time soon. Perhaps if you are interested you should look at the difference in how our government and the US government subsidize the education system. In this case though it was simply that the tuition rates in Quebec where substantially lower than any where else and needed to be raised to continue having the same quality of service to the students. I am sure you could have had essencial elements cut from tuition but they would have had to payed for in other "hidden" fees anyway. I live in BC (Still below average tuition fees) and our fees are rising as well, it is simply that inflation effects everything (including education) and we havent had much price increase in comparison to inflation. Now that fees are up I am sure they will stay that way for a while until inflation dictates another rise in price. Its basic economics, I am sure you can lean all about it in ECON 101.
 
I don't know how it is in BC, but in Qc approximately 30% of our youth gets to university, which is below average if you want to take "comparisons" into play.

I agree our province is in some serious debt, but the education was not the place to make the cut, not at all. The last Quebec budget included $62.6 billion in program spending. Hey, were all normal citizens just like yourself, keeping up with the inflation, while up there people pretend to make the best decisions for us, sadly they don't. Older people have already went through this and made their lives out of it, its not a suprise they don't support the strikers since "they made it", but making your way through it does not mean you did the right thing.

Qc rioters were fighting for a change in societal values. The Quebec has the means to work without the raise, but they wouldn't take the students seriously. Charest laughed at them, he laughed at the future of the province, how does a guy like him can take care of our province?
 
Except you guys pay way less taxes, things in general cost less, and you guys typically get paid more than us. So stop being such whiny bitches.
 
thoughts? fuck quebec, your tuition rates still arent as high as the national standard.

i wish the referendum for quebec to leave canada had gone through, i would kill to see the financial crisis quebec would be in without the western provinces to support it.
 


Good to hear you all sacrificed your clothes for future generations, it's all so thoughtful.

For those of you who don't understand French, they're chanting "Sacrifice your clothes for our next upcoming poor generations!"

 
Sooo much irony. It's the Canadians in this thread who seem to be whining about tuition costs, and yes, Canadians might be paying more in taxes, but I'm sure the cost of paying taxes and going to school in Canada is, on average, less than paying taxes and going to college in the U.S.

 
Yes Canadians do pay more taxes, but really the students don't pay much.. So no one should be whining. Sure I pay taxes, but most I get refunded by the government since I don't have a big personal income. It's called TAX RETURN.
