BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!!!

HOW DID I EXPERIENCED THE STRIKE

First, I was torn between two feelings. To want or not to want? I wanted very badly to finish my courses as soon as possible. In the other hand, and just as much determined, I do not want this increase in tuition fees. Considering my choice uncertain, I decided to leave the fate of the vote in the hands of the other students. In short, I did not attend any assembly. Then after a week, I began to be in favor of this leverage the strike is. I was really convinced that students would succeed in making a difference.

But, unfortunately, the only changes it has brought in the minds of most Quebecers are negative. Students insult each other. The government is not interested. The police are attacking protesters. Protesters vandalize infrastructure. The population is becoming impatient and frustrated against the students and the government. Older people keep blaming the students, because they claim to pay for them with taxes. The worst thing is that all students do not stand together. The population does not support the students, but does not hesitate to criticize higher prices. Jean Charest and Line Beauchamp are not doing their job.         P.S. They cheat Quebecers.

For a nation that calls itself democratic, these two people very involved in the case of higher tuition fees do not respond to calls for democracy. They deny the students to discourage them. The Minister of Education is really insulting and disrespectful of population rights. Instead of giving talks to the media, she should discuss with us, the students, waiting for months! 

In addition to the opposition between the government and students, there is the opposition between the people against the rise and most of Quebec. The major problem of our nation is this: people are hypocrites. There would be other way to repay the debt of Quebec. The government does not know where to find the missing money. I have the solution: he just has to stop spending on things not essential. It should be like us when we are penniless. SAVE! Save and not spend what it has not. I think the country is very poorly managed. We work hard and earn little. We should not pay more even and the rest of the population either.

I understand the frustration this can cause for people who have no children. But education is a necessary for the entire society and everyone should give in this matter. Anyway, if this is not the price of education which increases, it will be another price. So, one way or another, people will pay more than today. So we should all fight together and stop letting our leaders do! :)
