Students to strike Tuesday
Thousands of students plan to strike Tuesday, reviving the printemps érable call of ten years ago for free university tuition. It’s UQÀM, UdeM and CEGEPs that will be out.

We should set up a system that rebates over 10 years the tuition, but only if you are a tax-paying Quebecois. And in fact, if you learn outside the province and come back, you get the same rebate amount, over 10 years. So you stay in Quebec after university, you get free education. You leave, you don’t.
Even better, charge the same $5K they charge in other provinces and rebate that over the 10 years of being a taxpayer… My guess is that it won’t cost all that much in the end, but it will incentivise staying in Quebec and keeping the investment in their education here.

What if they made university free – but only in French?

It’s kinda de rigueur for people to do Masters and PhDs and post-docs to head to a different school, usually out of province… sometimes out of country.
