On Feb. 1 in Regina, nearly 200 students took to the streets to protest the increasing costs of post-secondary education. And while I support the idea of highlighting the costly burden of a university education, I believe my fellow students’ efforts are misplaced.
Do I wish my classes were more affordable? Of course I do. I strongly advocate for disassociating a student’s family income, personal income and assets from student loan applications in an attempt to make student loans more accessible and, therefore, make university more accessible. But I’m not going to stomp my feet and publicly decry the premier of Saskatchewan for not caring about students.

In its worst placement since 1982, the NDP lost 11 seats and saw its vote share dip by five per cent. Reduced to nine Members of the Legislative Assembly, the opposition caucus faces an uncertain future. Party leader Dwain Lingenfelter was defeated in Regina Douglas Park. He is the first provincial NDP or Co-operative Commonwealth Federation leader in Saskatchewan history to ever lose his seat.

In an election that delivered precisely what was expected, the Saskatchewan Party handily won a second majority on Nov. 7.
The Sask. Party picked up 64 per cent of the popular vote across the province, breaking the previous record for a single party’s share of the vote. That record was set in the 1912 election, when Walter Scott led the Liberal Party to a victory with just under 60 per cent of the vote.

A plan to help students through postsecondary spending is featured in the platforms of both major parties in the Nov. 7 provincial election.
Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party have introduced the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship and the Saskatchewan Advance Grant for Education Savings. On the other hand, if elected, Dwain Lingenfelter and the NDP have said they will bring back a fully-funded tuition freeze for Saskatchewan universities and the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology.
