no yu begin wher i end

All this posturing against Iran is a bullshit smokescreen. Politicians do it all the time. Remember the bruhaha about man going to Mars a few years ago? Now that the shit bricks are raining down harder than ever on the GOP, they need another common enemy to rail against now that Iraq has gone stale for them.

Judging by your avatar, that's not all you would do.

Mountain Goats = awesomeness.

This seems kinda...um...evil...

Last year I think they had Coldplay and the Black Eyed Peas perform. Some excellent Canadian talent, they are.

From now on, I am refering to Valentine's Day as VD.

Because you guys pay like half the tuition we do haha, but yah i dont know, the organizer's really focused on the university's because they want post-secondary education at the university to be more accessible. Jack Layton's inclusion was a necessary evil, you know i do not approve of the guy but the NDP have a really progressive bill (C-398) that will see more federal transfers go to the province to subsidize education and make it more accessible. no yu begin wher i end: I think if the students voted for an increase in tuition that'd be amazing. I think that democratising the post-secondary institution in as many ways as possible are a clear indication of a heathly and vibrant local democracy. Seriously, kudo's to you guys for taking the initiative and improving your conditions by a democratic vote. The whole issue in fact which you may wittingly or unwittingly touched on was the sheer disparity accross the nation. Their are areas of high tuition with great services and amazing universities which become increasingly inaccessible (like Ontario) and then campuses falling apart due to chronic underfunding. So in your situation im glad that your raising your own tuition as a willing choice and improving the conditions your learning under. We however, have no choice, dont know where any of the money is going that our tuition pays for, and increasingly are burdened with heavy debts that we dont think match what is reasonable for an education. So yeah, tuition does have to raise, in some instances i'd suggest, and depending on the money going to actually improving the conditions id be for it, but in our case we dont even know where its going and we want a bit of a break! lol Yeah, and I think a lot of it is just smarter spending, too. I mean, the university president doens't have to be making ~ $350,000 a year. Yeah, some clarity on the administration's part doesn't seem like too much to ask of them. I didn't know things were effed up like that, so good on ya ;) !

Sweet video, although I personally don't agree with it for the U of M. The engineers are going to be voting soon to voluntarily raise their tuition by 40%, and the Arts students already did it a few years ago. Profs here are paid an average of 10% lower than the national average, and there aren't enough TA's to go around for over-sized classes and some labs frequently get canceled. At least one student lounge has no heating, and I could see my breath last time I was in there. So, while no one wants to pay more tuition, I think people have to look at it realistically. I don't know the conditions of universities elsewhere, so I won't comment on those situations. I will say this, though: tuition fees have to increase at a reasonable and manageable rate if the school is to remain (for lack of better wording) good and viable (one of the main concerns for our engineers is that employers will start to regard U of M grads in a lesser light). St. FX, here I come ;) .

At least your universities aren't going to shit. /bitter.

well the Liberals weren't doing much for Kyoto either. In the end i really don't care if they bicker or not, as long as at the end of the day the job gets done. That's true, but it just gets tiresome after a while. Let's hear some new ideas. Rona Ambrose made a speech at a major international conference a while back where pretty much all she did was trash the Liberals. No one seems to have much substance, lately. PS: You have the greatest avatar ever.

Good for him, offering to run in a by-election.

0/0. Eh?

Testify, brother! Gawd, it seems like they can't do anything other than blame the Liberals for everything.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollin%27_with_Saget Spelled Bob Saget's name wrong ;) , but is otherwise a cool guy.

Doesn't roll with Saget.

Rebekah Higgs is awesome (and pretty good looking, too).

The illest muthafucka in a cardigan sweater.

A celebrity gossip blog. Or porn.

10/10 Groovy.

Okay, I read this and quite frankly, I couldn't care less.

Doesn't Layton support a two-tiered system? Currently, the government actually helps private clinics out, which is something he said he'd put a stop to. I think that without that extra spending, the government could better focus on the public tier.

Carmelina is pretty sweet, but if that doesn't tickle your fancy..... You wanna get high?

If I wasn't such a pussy, I'd consider it.

;) Oh yeah he's trigger happy...

Cryptonomicon is a sweet book.
