  • Petition To Keep Ontario Dollars For Ontario Students

    As a former university student in Ontario I know university can be a stressful place without the added pressures of knowing  if or when you will qualify for student loans. This subsidy of foreign students is beyond the pale and a papier-mâché solution to a much larger funding formula problem. Ontario Liberals  have to own up to their own mismanagement and put Ontario students first.

  • Subsidies Won’t Work

    This week the Ontario government pledged to invest over $30 million in foreign students. The fact that should not be forgotten is that this very same Liberal government presided over massive cutbacks in quality to many post secondary institutions. As a result the students are not receiving the same quality of education they once were because universities have had to cut courses and programs in the ever-changing economics of higher education.

    From on campus
    Foreign students win while Ontario students get left behind. McGuinty has clearly lost touch,” 


    “While Ontario families struggle to pay for school, electricity, auto insurance and sales hikes, the McGuinty Government is focussed on paying the tuition of students who don’t even live in this country, let alone this province.”

  • I Have Not Yet Begun To Fight

    Now that’s real tenacity.
    from big government

    On September 23, 1779 in the midst of one of the bloodiest engagements in naval history, John Paul Jones was struggling against the forty-four gun Royal Navy frigate Serapis and although his own vessel was burning and sinking, Jones would not accept the British demand for surrender.  Instead Jones declared, “I have not yet begun to fight.” Little more than three hours later, the Serapis surrendered and Jones took command.
