Bernie ....2020

[Hamloc]

Government subsidized post secondary education......... you must be talking about Quebec only right ????

Actually I believe even in Alberta the government pays over 50% of tuition. Isn't Bernie proposing paying the full cost?

Since I make to much income Hamloc my two daughters that went to university had to pay the full deal.Not totally sure but if the girls had waited a couple years they would have been able to apply for subsidized government loans.

Government subsidized post secondary education......... you must be talking about Quebec only right ????

From Alberta budget 2020:
Quote "Total operating expenses for Advanced Education went from $5.5 billion to $5.1 billion in Budget 2020, unveiled Thursday.
“We need to have transformation in the cost of delivering advanced education in this province. We need to work together with our excellent world-class post-secondary institutions to bring that cost down, so those campus Alberta grants will decline,” said Finance Minister Travis Toews.
In 2018-19, schools funded 43 per cent of operating expenses and government funded 58 per cent. By 2022-23, that will shift to 48 per cent from post-secondary institutions and 52 per cent government funding."

Saskatchewan 2019-20 government budget for Secondary education: $673 million

Quebec 2019 budgeted government spending on operating costs for secondary education $838 million

"Bernie’s policies are down right scary"

Bold statement from someone living north of the 49th who (or family members)have used universal healthcare, paid parental leave, cheaper prescription drugs and government subsidized post secondary education.

Typical Rightie, taking full advantage of the social programs here in Canada and bad mouthing American Voters for wanting something he already has.

Sorry sir you are wrong!

I am a client of Mayo Clinic in USA for all my medical needs, a trip I make each year as I have no faith in the “system” in Canada and would not want to be a burden to those that need it locally.

As for my dental, I pay cash, as for my my medication, I pay cash, I paid cash for all my children’s tuition at University and when they were young, I paid cash for a person to come into my home and look after them while my wife and I worked 18 hours a day for years and still do to this day to make all this happen.

So Bernie scares me when he wants open borders, abolish laws of an orderly society, free medical for all and free education and is brainwashing a generation of young people that think hard work is bad, earning money is bad and that everyone should be dependent on a Government.

But really that is the end plan for these socialist globalist bunch of liberals....take everything away from wealth producers, and an elite group of politicians high up who control it all will tell the low life’s how to live, after they expropriate the hard earned efforts of many people.

I was referring to free post secondary education , I should have made that clear like Quebec and other speacial interest groups within Canada .

Bernie is going to get beat by his own party and joe doesn’t have what it takes to make it. If he picks Hillary he is done. She will either make him disappear or try to run the show and America will show her the door again.

It looks like the fix is in against Bernie again.

Biden offered Pete something to drop out.

You mean more than a kiss?

Amy Klobuchur has dropped out as well.

Lots of back room deals.

Amy dropped out today. Apparently her supporters are MEGA pissed about the political games at play. Bernie might be winning himself a shitload more votes.

I so hope it is Bernie v Trump this fall. Two polar opposites and see where the country actually stands.

I heard an analyst say they thought if Biden won the nomination that he would ask her to be his VP.

Reading about results from Super Tuesday in the U.S. I was surprised to see how well Joe Biden did. Compared to Sanders and Bloomberg he spent far less on advertising but still won many of the southern states including a surprise win in Texas. I always thought money could buy votes in the U.S., apparently not always the case.
