"Some"?
Who hires anyone without a secondary diploma?
No one.
And few are hired without some college.
And those are few and precarious jobs.

Secondary education doesn't only mean a university degree. Save us from a world full of university graduates where no one wants to get their hands dirty.

It is for anyone who can qualify.

Being qualified for something doesn't automatically make you entitled to it.

According to one of the critics here, tuition is free, and will become more free later.

yes, it seems university is only of value if its paid for and the government will make sure the poor never pay for it!

In a radio callin show in Montreal, the subject of which was --What is the cause of the student riots in Quebec--- a caller stated that the cause was-- "Alberta should send more money"
WTF

Funny...I was listening to a different radio callin show in Montreal the other day where a caller stated that the cause of the student riots was rich silver spoon fed windbags who're trying to oppress the next generation in any way possible, just like they're doing to the current one with their failed 'trickle down reganomics' practices.

Your caller was right though...Alberta should send more money.

You could possibly (about one in a million chance) if the cause of the protest had ANY justice.
The "silverspoon fed" students involved in this idiocy have by far, (far lower than Alberta) lower tuition than other Canadian post secondary schools making the protest a mockery of sensibility.

If there is a such a mass exodus of students from Quebec, it's Charest's problem. The unnerving violence in the streets is the police beating on students. I can understand parents not wanting to risk that. They should speak to Charest about negotiating a peaceful resolution rather than escalating the violence as he has.

Good luck with that. Those people are interested in getting their kids educated, not fighting Quebec's political battles. The big buck tuitions paid by out of province students that subsidize the locals will avoid the place like the plague.

I'm sure the Quebecois won't mind if there's less right wing swine wandering the hallowed halls of their Universities.

And none of those right wing swine will care.

The Quebec government subsides those out of province students as well. Less students means the government will be saving money.

Then the place really is screwed up.

All governments in Canada subsides tuition for Canadian students. It is why all universities are public.

Support for the students is growing...

In New York, members of the Montreal-based rock band Arcade Fire wore the movement's iconic red squares during an appearance with The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger on Saturday Night Live. Jagger wore a red shirt, but no red square.
A day earlier, players in Quebec's film industry were sporting them at the Cannes Film Festival. http://www.globalnew...4898/story.html

How many foreign students do you think will pay big bucks to get involved in this mess?

The NDP swine can have the place all for themselves.
