Woa! I didn't read kksuck2's post before reading yours and I thought for a moment you were calling me a bitch! I am, but not on the board! But yeah kksuck2's boss IS a bitch! She's evil!
There is kind of a union. Each school has it's student organisation with an executive comittee that represents all of the students. And each of these comittees can be part of a wider organisation that includes all of the colleges and universities in the province.
Now, what happens is that Quebec's Prime Minister (not Cananda's) wants to cut funding. For example someone who was recieving 9000$ for a master's degree had ro reimburse 3000$ of it, the rest was not a loan but a scholarship. Now, there's 0$ scholarship and 9000$ loan. In average, someone who takes loans will end up with a 50 000$ debt after a master's degree. He also wants to let universities raise fees for foreign students wich is illegal here! He's the worst Prime Minister we've ever had.
BUSH is an idiot. I hear the only fields that benfit from his new budget is the army (of course) and homeland security. He's cutting everything else, right? Medicare, welfare, scholarships... What an asshole. And the world's stuck with him for another 3½ years!
