Why couldn't you mention that Concordia was in Canada, and that the kids are whining b/c the gov't decided to give tax breaks rather than subsidize tuition. Perhaps these jackasses should vote and/or work and stop complaining.
"Needless to say, the Liberals have failed to make good on their promises to massively reinvest in public services. They have, however, pressed forward with their right-wing agenda"
Are Canadian liberals so retarded that their liberals have a right wing agenda? Viva la revalucion. America rules. Don't cry asking for a handout. If you want money from the government, shut the bitch down until they pay, don't just cry in the streets. I hope not a single high school student sacrificed a minute of school for this waste of time.

I don't necessarily support the government's decision to shift loans to bursaries, but this strike is fucking pointless. In fact, I'm one of the bastards that broke the picket line this morning.
How on earth can 3% of the student population at Concordia at an assembly put 25,000 students on strike??? Democracy in action! 3 percent of 25,000 won't stop me from going to class.

As a student at Concordia, if it comes to a vote on an indefinate strike, the only way I'll respect the picket line is if it's voted on by the entire school population. Otherwise, it's complete bullshit.

Oh, and the word "solidarity" has been thrown around so fucking much that it's lost all meaning. Like "love".
My "solidarity" rests with those who want to finish the semester.

I can't bring myself to support the self-styled 'revolutionaries' that dominate Quebec student politics.

But it does seem funny that every news report makes mention of Quebec's low student debt levels like they're an anachronism -- a problem to be solved. Why is 'other people have it worse' the only defence of the policy that the Charest government seems to be able to offer up?

so wait. is it clouddead or boom bip. i'm pretty sure they're different things.

wow...lots of hating. personal hits are the best kind. simmmmmmmmmmer.

gotta LOVE the TMNT game... look at that, i through the word love around.

dude, i have a final today.

this is in response to the first comment in this thread, and is theoretical (ie. bears no direct relation to the Concordia events). Canada supposedly operates as a social democracy, which means that "handouts" are very much what we're about.So many peope these days behave as though there's something wrong with giving selflessly- this is a sad attitude, especially in a society as well-off as Canada's. Damn few of the students I've know were independently responsible for providing for themselves- why shouldn't we make necessary provisions so that people of varying backgrounds enjoy the same opportunities? If you really believe that you are the product of your own hard work, there's no reason to feel threatened by the prospect of helping other people get a foothold.

you couldn't find any arcade fire because you're using the wrong p2p client...www.slsknet.org. the arcade fire is RAMPANT there, along with most all other good current music.
