Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Quebec Students Should Take It!
A tentative deal has been made and agreed by all student groups including La CLASSE. I personally feel that this deal is pointless. It is a political maneuver to try and claim victory on both sides. Even though Tuition will rise for the next 7 years by over 250$ every year (instead of

It seems I have one more reason I don’t want the Wildrose alliance to win. But Alberta’s according to recent polls have them at a 7% point lead. The PC are in second, the NDP and the Liberals way far behind. “We have always said the science isn’t settled and

The Conservatives government released a report that states they have emitted 692 megatonnes of CO2 in 2010. Which is by the way an increase of 2 megatonnes. The Conservative government should take no credit on the environment at all. Since they cut billions of dollars in Green jobs initiative and

The Alberta Liberals released there platform for the upcoming election in 2012. In the platform is a radical policy (at least I think) to try and reduce tuition cost of universities, and apparently try to completely eliminate it by 2025.
