张铁生怎么得罪你了？
多伦多学生哥姐大游行，控诉福省长。
给福省长的信
Dear Premier Doug Ford and whomever it may concern,
My name is Riley Locke, and I am a second-year political science student at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo. On behalf of myself and many other post-secondary students Ontario, would like say that we are extremely displeased with your recent decision to make cuts and alterations to the Ontario Student Assistance Plan OSAP), which will affect hundreds of thousands of students across the province. As students, we are not rich by any means, and finishing with as little debt as possible is of the importance to us. It is difficult enough dealing with the stress that comes with schoolwork-why give us the extra burden of worrying about how and when we will be able to repay our student loans? Many students spend the summer months working wherever they can, making efforts to save up as much money as possible before returning to school in the fall. Most of us do not have the luxury of having a business handed down to us as you did but that is not your fault, of course. You can't provide us with a business, and we don't expect you to. What you can do, however, is make every effort possible to ensure that we are all in a position to begin our adult lives with as little debt as possible. Many of us began our post-secondary careers with the idea that we were going to receive the funding we needed to pay for our education. Due to these cuts, many students may not be able to afford to return to school for the 2019-2020 school year and may choose to drop-out. Some students may have already accumulated debt, and by being forced to drop-out the money they already spent may be put to waste The recent announcement to make cuts to OSAP comes long after your decision to freeze the minimum wage at S14/hour, and many students may now make less money than they potentially could have with a S15/hour minimum wage under the previous government. Such factors further hinder students as they attempt to obtain higher education. With low- income students having less access to affordable education, many high school graduates may forgo attending post secondary altogether; decreasing the level of competition among students seeking admittance to post-secondary institutions. This will also negatively affect the level of competition in the job market for the post-secondary graduates who were able to pay for an education. The only beneficiaries of your changes are the socioeconomically-advantaged students who do not rely on government a as a means of paying for their education. The proposed 10 % decrease in tuition fees will negatively affect the quality of education students are receiving . With an estimated revenue loss totaling over $440-million, many colleges and universities will be forced to limit the number of courses they offer; leaving students with less options to choose from. Additionally, extra-curricular organizations (such as student governments and media outlets) will be forced to adapt, as changes to mandatory fees will leave these organizations with less funding. Many students rely on these organizations to gain valuable experience in fields they wish to be employed in upon finishing school. If Ontario really is "Open for Business" as you claim it to be, wouldn't young entrepreneurs be in a better position to start their own businesses if they are in less debt upon finishing school? Furthermore, wouldn't already-established businesses benefit from an educated workforce full of recent graduates who are ready to contribute to the economy immediately? The future of Ontario's economy in your hands, Mr. Ford-now do something about.
Sincerely
Riley Locke
