In Montreal, thousands of students took to the streets in an illegal demonstration against that provinces government. And like the whiny little turds have done so many times in the past, they're protesting tuition hikes. Hikes that will add a staggering 70 dollars to their fees. Not 7 thousand, not 7 hundred. 70 fucking dollars a year! Give me a break! That turns out to be a 3% increase. This year, my property taxes are going up damn near 5%. My power, water and gas bills are going up as well. And it's sure as shit is more than 70 bucks a year!
And all this after the bitching bastards protested last year, and likely helped bring down the government of the day. Mainly because the government of today said they'd look at fee increases, after vowing to hold the line.
Instead, they've indexed the tuition fee hikes to cost of living. I just wish all my increases were indexed to the cost of living. They'd sure be a lot easier to take. And 70 bucks?!? Hell, in Quebec that's 5 packs of smokes. Or 10 Staryucks cafe supremes. Maybe 30 plates of poutine. Put another way, it's 19 cents a day over the course of a year. 19 cents! So, suck it up buttercup, get your asses back to your classes. And count your blessings that the cops in Montreal didn't bust your skulls for staging a protest before giving proper warning.
'Nuff said.
