This post isn't going to be on an anime episode or a manga chapter or a light novel.
Instead, allow me to shed some light on a certain problem that I, as a Canadian Grade 10 student, am facing, along with all my fellow classmates and teachers.
I'm not a politics fan, but this issue needs to be addressed for the sake of Ontario's future post-secondary students.
Bill 115.
A bill proposed by Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty to wage freeze teachers' pay, in hope of redeeming Ontario's debt of a glorious 15 billion dollars.
That's the gist of it.
But there are splash-factors that affect us students too.
The bill states that teachers are not allowed to strike.
Respecting and obeying this, teachers have instead decided to cut or completely remove all students' extracurricular activities, including clubs, music programs, sports teams, graduation events and such.
For us high school students, this is a bad call from the teachers. We need to have these extracurricular activities written on our university applications in order to get accepted into the school.
Now, if Dalton McGuinty thinks he can just waltz up into Parliament and put up this bill up for votes, I think we have a right to say whether we think this is for the best or not too.
We are Ontario's future adult citizens, who will lead Ontario's success. The current adult generation has created enough problems as it is, and with this bill, it only adds more tension to the rope. We should be enabled and secured for success in post-secondary school so that we may have the right tools and intelligence to fix these current problems. But, because of Dalton's wonderful Bill 115, we will not be able to have these tools.
It's a pretty stupid bill if you ask me. If you need money, DONT TURN TO FUCKING CUSTODIANS, PART-TIME SCHOOL CAF WORKERS, TEACHERS AND THE LIKES TO TAKE FROM THEM. You could simply wait for the money to come in, through increase in exports or other means of produce. I'm sure that during the deficit, you government people can't be that stupid to spend more money on shit. .... Or can you be lacking intelligence to the point of no return to political sanity?
All in all, the future generation is getting freaking raped by the government, which is trying to make money to help us get out of this shitty deficit. Clearly, they didn't really think this one through.
Holy crap.
