It was just risen, what do you want? 13$ an hour?
>8 people who are not eligible for ei shouldn't pay them.
So you don't wanna support people who lose their jobs? Good socialism tactic there bro's.
>15. Canada to get out of NATO.
Lets get rid of NATO altogether guys! Let the tyranny of wartorn countries continue! And lets complain to our government about how we aren't doing anything to help the rest of the world with their conflicts! We all live and breath on the same planet, so lets try and keep it that way... Fucking idiots.
>16. No commercials on CBC.
Where are they gonna get their money from? taxes?
>17. Get rid of the anti terrorism act.
I don't really know what this is, but if it's what I think it is(Punishing terrorists harshly) Then keep it. Oh, these guys blew up a building because they robbed them, give them 5 years in prison.... Wha?
>18. stop trading with Amerika
There goes half of our economy...
>24.We demand an investigation on 9/11.
Old news, get the fuck over it already.
>25.We demand a non of the above on the ballot.
Don't vote then.
>28.We demand massage, dental and eye care be covered under free health care.
Although I agree with the dental issue, Eye care is fairly inexpensive and massages is a commodity. And a lot of people go their lives without ever seeing a dentist, an optometrist or a massage therapist. So why is it fair for them to support these professions when they will never use them?
>29. we demand equal pay for equivalent work.
So a guy who works at a job for 20 years is gonna get the same pay as the guy who just started? Have any of these people worked a day in their life?
>31.Legalize synthetic drugs.
The reason crack use is illegal is because it's incredibly harmful and unnecessary and having a legality on it will reconsider people from using it. Now if you make crack legal, then people will think "Pfft, Crack is alright in my books! I can't even go to jail for usin this shit so it must be a good thing!" Lets legalize pistols and meth then as well. What bad could come from that?
>32. Have all botanical drugs be distributed like coffee beans.
again, this promotes that it is not frowned upon to use pot/acid/shrooms or other natural drugs. Therefore, more people will think it's ok to do them as there are no repercussions. to be honest, I do agree that cigarettes should be outlawed. Nothing good comes from them and it kills millions of people every year. Why the hell not?
>34. We demand free schooling and our tuition to be written off.
It sounds nice, but secondary education is EXPENSIVE. You give people free education then you're gonna have to raise GST to 20%. Fuck that noise, I'll pay for my god damn tuition instead.
>38. Legalize prostitution.
The problem I have with this is again, it promotes prostitution. Young fluzeys will think "Hey, hookin is easy! I should get into that career path." I'm all for Brothels, but prostitution is definitely a criminal offense in my book.
>39. Universities stop taking money from corporations.
I don't understand this. So big corporations are giving universities money? Why is this bad? so they can promote their company and offer jobs? Wha?
>40.We demand the release of all non violent prisoners.
Even those money launders, meth cookers, arsonists, thieves and several other non violent criminals be dismissed?
>44. Farmers should stop using pesticides and use organic material.
Have these fucktards ever worked on a large piece of land? They use pesticides to kill off pests, and if they didn't then half of their crops would die. And for major farmers who actually want to make a decent living need to use artificial fertilizers because the crops will grow faster and it's easier to collect then manure. Do they honestly believe everyone is capable of shopping at a local farmers market and growing a garden?
>50.Shut down the tar sands.
although I'm not a fan of fort mcrack, it pumps a shitload of tax money into the alberta and canadian government. Alberta relies on its natural resources for prosperity, just like vancouver relies on tourists and foreign investment.
>57. we demand an end to clear cutting.
I agree with not chopping down old growth, I don't agree with stopping clear cutting. It's a major natural resource in british columbia and unless you wanna buy a 2x4 for 19$ it's the cheapest way to get lumber. And once you clear cut that forest, you can send in a thousand and one hippies to plant the forest again.
60 demands and I agree with maybe 15 of them, all of them would have to be directly focused on in a protest in order to get widespread attention. If they expect 60 massive changes to be made then they're gonna be sitting out their for the rest of their lives.

, I honestly feel bad for the REAL protestors, the people with real valid concerns unfortunately because every idiot protestor gets lumped in with them they get a bad rep, like come on the student loans bullshit like I hate when I see that shit. Student loans are like an investment/gamble on yourself in my opinion. Why is it that they think because they didn't get an amazing paying job afterwards that they shouldn't pay for it? when I bet on hockey games I can't go and be like woah woah woah like I didn't really think this through I actually need you guys to write it off. And free post-sec education sounds good on paper, but its really impractical, just simply and demand, universities/colleges are already jam packed as it is. Making it free lol ? then we will need bigger buildings, more transit, more classes, more professors, more ta's and etc.
