Can you believe it? It would appear that students won’t have to pay for tuition hikes next year after all:
In his annual televised address Tuesday, Klein said colleges and universities may raise tuition next year – but the province will pick up the increase so that students won’t pay any more than they did this year.
Not that I’d expect anything less, but U of A Students’ Union President Jordan Blatz just had to get in another dig:
“So he froze the fastest-increasing tuition in the country,” Blatz said. “But the premier and the provincial government have listened to the concerns of students and they took a huge step for us. A big gift for the students of Alberta. Definitely an encouraging sign.”
Encouraging indeed. Now let’s see if they take any other action in the next year or so.

There will be action….trust me….
Want to join the PC Party? π
You know, its funny. I have always liked Klein, and voted PC in the provincial election. Its just Paul Martin that I voted for in the federal π
There better be action. But all this seems like is Klein’s gearing up for yet another election, at which point he’ll step down, and as long as he leaves a decent taste in voters’ mouths, we will re-elect. Sigh. Politics….
