    Default I'm on strike!!! (and sick of it)

    AHHHHHHHH!!!
    5 weeks, I have been on strike,
    Wish the government would take a hike!

    103 millions dollars is what we chant,
    And the peanuts we get is what we rant!

    We quebeckers are rebels,
    But now I feel like a pebble.
    Useless.

    5 weeks I have been striking,
    Dancing cause tuition's rising,
    And panhandling,
    I am not wanting.

    We rejected the proposal,
    Looks like we stick to our morals.
    What we believe in,
    What we've been fighting
    For five weeks now,
    I know it will end,
    The question is not when,
    But how?

    Celeste I sympathize. However, it looks like the reality of the costs of wall to wall gov't health care and other expensive social programs, and the negative secondary effects on the provincial economy, are finally starting to get serious enough that the politicians can't ignore them any longer.

    Maybe I'm not understanding this right, but why do you think the government owes you an education?

    probably the fact that with an effective Canadian tax rate approaching 40%, they have a 'right' to expect their gov't to return some of that tax money in the form of benefits to every citizen ?

    A better question might be, "Why does the government think we owe it anything?"

    I can't think of a good answer. Methinks we should stop giving it money.
