I sure hope they're listening....Ontario is heading into an election and the only promise I've heard from Howard Hampton NDP leader is that he'll lower/freeze tuition so that students can save a whopping great $500 or so per year (sorry I didn't save the link). Some of us pay close to that in interest payments each MONTH! Does he ever talk to the NDP caucus that have thrown their support behind the Coalition for Student Loan Fairness 8 point plan?

KEEP MAKING NOISE and please let your suggestions be heard.
