Hi,

Regarding your "Georgia Straight" (http://www.straight.com) article
entitled
"Dragged down by debt" in your April 26th - May 3rd issue on page 47,
I'd just
like to point out that with the Égalité Party of Canada (http://www.eh-
ok.ca)
in power post-secondary education would be FREE!

Regarding your article entitled "Campus 2020 maps out road to
excellence" on
page 60, I am NOT surprised that this former top bureaucrat, Geoff
Plant, is
advocating "MORE! BUREAUCRACY" by recommending that there be "a higher
education board" filled by MORE! CRONIES to be sure :o) (perhaps, dare
I say,
friends of his.) I strong feel it's this kind of brazen, thoughtless,
insensitive thinking
that results in unending tax increases and he is a champion of this -
perenial tax
increases?

To add to the hilarity of this, is the demand of povincial
parlementarians to a
hefty salary increase. And who is expected to pay for all this? Post-
secondary
students?

You state in your article that their debt went up $10,000 under the
Liberals AND
they now carry an average debt of $27,000 upon completion of their
studies. What
kind of jobs are they likely to get? High paying or low paying? The
Government
is crippling OUR BRIGHTEST YOUNG PEOPLE with debt making them
INDENTURED
SERVANTS OF THE STATE. Does this mean they canNOT have families like
everybodyelse? How long after finishing post-secondary studies are
they expected
to postpone getting married and having a family? And this is good,
responsible
Government? The Égalité Party of Canada (http://www.eh-ok.ca) does NOT
think
so.

Clearly, high post-secondary tuition fees and a low minimum wage are
no longer
tenable. The Égalité Party of Canada (http://www.eh-ok.ca) therefore
proposes
FREE! post-secondary education and a $15 minimum wages like that in
Australia
(subsidized by the Government if necessary).

Cheers!
