Bill 78 To The Rescue

What does a society without real leadership looks like? A place that reacts and comes up with law like Bill 78. Look, I don't exactly side with the students - what, you mean, support union backed associations led by privileged hucksters sprouting out the usual entitlement mentality wrapped up in Marxist "redistribution" rhetoric while violence erupts and the economy disrupted for a $325 tuition hike? No thanks - but this looks like an infringement on personal liberties to me.

What about democracy? The students are flailing against an elected government that had tuition hikes as part of its campaign. 70% of Quebecers back the government. Moreover, 70% of students accept it. Besides, why are we negociating with students? We didn't elect them.

We know someone who is in the riot police. At this point, according to him, "the mob is extremely provocative, the cops aren't interested in this continuing, it's the same faces we see and all this is putting my kids through college because of all the overtime."

I paraphrase. Ironic, no?
