Quebec's Rioting Thugs (Oh, I mean Students)

It is high time that the authorities in Quebec crack down on the bullies masquerading as students.  These moochers are rioting in protest against a small increase in their tuition, a tuition that is subsidized by you and me.  Students in the rest of Canada pay considerably more for tuition than they do in Quebec, and still these ungrateful, self-indulgent thugs throw this tantrum.  This behavior is despicable, although not surprising, given the culture of the last decade or two, in which these ingrates have been raised to think they are so special.  I am very tired of tax dollars from hard-working Canadians, through equalization payments, going towards supporting these slackers.

Even though Premier Jean Charest is now starting to get tough with them, he already sent the wrong message by previously giving in to them.  He consented to stretching the tuition increases over five years instead of three.  Even after five years though, they will still be paying less than what the rest of Canada is paying now.   But they aren’t satisfied with that.  They want free education.   Since, most of us know that nothing is free, that just means that you and me, in the rest of Canada (especially in the West), will pay more.

Quebec already receives over half of the equilization payments that the "have" provinces pay into (BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland) and with our hard earned money, they give Quebecers $7 a day daycare.  Why is this allowed to continue?  Because no one wants to "upset" Quebec.  

I sincerely hope that Quebec separatists get fired up again so that the rest of Canada can say, GO ALREADY, WE ARE SO TIRED OF YOUR WHINING!!!
