Chances of that story being true are basically slim and none. He might have gotten sex from her using his power in the government to extort it from her, but no one high up in the Chinese government would be paying for sex from an actress. It's not like she could refuse without serious...

Can someone tell me when everything that has to do with prostitution started being called human trafficking? Human trafficking to me has always meant moving people from one country to another for whatever reason, whether sexual exploitation, cheap forced labour or even illegal immigration...

University education should be subsidized for everyone up to a point but not to the tune of 100% or even 88%. Those who require financial help should not be turned away and should be eligible for grants, bursaries and loans and those who have proved by their scholastic record that they are...

Citizens United? Just another nutbar group. Any organization that has a Guy Fawkes mask on their homepage is automatically discounted as a bunch of loons. Rumples, if you are so against big business and human rights abuses, how about you donate all your Apple stock to the student movement...

And like the big brave men that they are, they only pushed around the female students. But that's fine! It's only kids being kids. Who cares if some people were assaulted. No big deal. :rolleyes:

I go over the top when I see posts by people complaining about everything but they can't offer any solutions. It's damn easy to complain about things but not so easy to provide solutions. Hindsite is 20/20 as they say and it's real easy to pick apart other people's decisions. "Maybe if" are the...

So what would you propose, Merlot? That the authorities allow the protestors to go wherever they want, whenever they want and do whatever they want? Two were arrested last night for assaulting a police HORSE! Maybe the police should just be pulled off the streets completely and just send in the...

Really? My heritage has nothing to do with French bigots who think they are the next master race and that all others come second. You want to preserve a language and culture? Then try fucking your brains out and have babies that you can raise and teach it to instead of forcing it on others. But...

Considering that we have a very poor rate of secondary graduation, where are all these university students coming from? It's easy to have a hige percentage of high school graduates entering higher education when the number of hs grads is low to begin with. I love how the cost chart in the wiki...

gugu, you fail to mention that we also have the highest secondary school drop out rate in the country. I'll be happy with our low tuition fees if they include a contract that a graduate must work in his field, in Quebec, for 5 years after graduation before moving elsewhere. If he leaves the...

OK, got it. Sorry about that! The thing is that the only thing the students here give a damn about is how much they have to pay and totally ignore the costs to society in general. They don't seem to realize that if they were to get free tuition, they would end up paying for it anyways in the...

From CaptRenault's post 94 in the thread. You actually have the nerve to call this "skyrocketing tuition"? Not only do they have it made in comparison to the US, they have it made when compared to any other province in Canada also or pretty much anywhere else in the world.

I wish I was kidding you. In fact the last proposal, which was rejected, would have spread out the increase so that it would be around $.50 per day. The students refuse any negotiation that does not include a tuition freeze. The more radical of the students wish a tuition freeze leading to...

EB, the current increases being proposed would be less than $1 per day. In other words, one less latte a week at Starbucks would cover it. This is the terrible hardship they're looking at which led to all these protests.

Why not? Are you going to the Amazon during rush hour? Why would I want to drive along St.Jacques and deal with the traffic lights and local traffic when I can just cruise along? And neither exit has anything to do with people coming from other areas like the West Island. The exit you mention...

There you go, someone who actually answered the question I asked earlier. The reason I asked it was becaues I did not know the answer. Thank you.

That's not the exit you'd take to go to the Amazon. You'd take the Angrignon exit and cross over the 20 and then up to St.Jacques. :cool:

As far as I was aware, unions in the US are prohibited from having any involvement in politics at all. They are not permitted to contribute to political campaigns or to promote any particular party or candidate and are not permitted to influence their membership to vote in any particular manner...

You didn't answer my question.
