Topic – Ontario’s Free Education Scheme

What’s proposed in budget

Providing the majority of eligible students whose parents earn the median annual income of $83,300 or less with enough in grants to more than cover their tuition costs
Eliminating provincial student loan debt for eligible students whose parents earn less than $50,000
Ensuring that no eligible student receives less non-repayable aid through the new grant than they currently do through the 30% Off Ontario Tuition Grant.

Provincial government claims average university tuition in Ontario costs $6,160. Statistics Canada says it’s $7,868.
tuition increase of roughly four per cent scheduled for 2017

Existing issues with modern post secondary education

“This vicious cycle of poverty and privilege must be stopped.”

http://www.queensjournal.ca/story/2016-02-29/opinions/what-ontarios-free-tuition-actually-means-for-students/

Dumbing down of university curriculum
Lack of critical thinking
Emphasis on “arts”that don’t lead to a career
Government fueled propaganda/liberal/SJW havens

Issues created by making post secondary education free

Supply and demand
scarcity
Increased cost, universities in bed with government, uncapped tuition rates
Value of the education
Increased “need” for seats at institutions
Middle and upper class earners still have to pay for their own children

We have to pass it to know whats in it, comes from Nacy Polosi http://www.politico.com/livepulse/0310/Pelosi_People_wont_appreciate_reform_until_it_passes.html

Issues solved by making post secondary education free

Theoretically a better educated populace
- Except who cares about free stuff? IE high school education
More baristas

Slamgybe on Episode 17

Well you asked…didn’t you?
Excellent interview though. Very well done.
Might be an idea to have your guest on again as things progress on the cannabis front in Canada. It will be interesting to see what comes of the upcoming UN General Assembly this April as they will be dealing with, at least, some aspects of this issue.

Nautical term: severe variety is the Windward Broach, also called a Gybe Broach (also called a death roll…really!) which usually occurs on a run where the spinnaker is so far to windward that it pulls the boat over to windward with it! In this case the boat goes over faster and farther than in a Leeward Broach, and causes the main to slam gybe.

Sharp Ninety-Seven Soooo about the split in grass locations to purches I don’t think it would be a two tired system as you put it. For example Tylenol is both sold over-the-counter and behind the counter some you need a prescription, some you don’t. Not all cannabis is the same. there are specific strains for medical use they would be sold in pharmacies and those for “relaxation” would be available for purches else where. But at this point I could just be beating a dead horse. Can’t wait to hear from you Wednesday.
