FOREWORD   
   ==========   
   3things bother the É(eh)PC regarding the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games.   
   (Interestingly, no other political party seems to be bothered.)   
   1. It seems that *ALL* THE CONTRACTS are going to the Americans.   
   2. We do *NOT* KNOW into whose pockets the MULTIMILLION $$$ AD contracts    
       are going.   
   3. Some of THE MOST CROOKED BUREAUCRATS - in the opinion of the É(eh)PC    
       - (earning FANTASTIC SALARIES) run the Pan Am Secretariat.   
       
   In THIS CONTEXT OF *MASSIVE* BUREAUCRATIC CORRUPTION - so it seems    
   to the É(eh)PC - regarding the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games, the Gov't wants   
   20,000 "poor" students TO WORK FOR NOTHING!"   
       
       
       
   LQQking for SUCKERS!   
   ==================   
   "Ontario college and university students who volunteer during the Pan Am    
   and Parapan Am Games next summer are eligible for a break on their OSAP    
   loans."   
       
   "Training, College and Universities Minister Brad Duguid announced Tuesday    
   that his ministry will spend $1.9 million to ensure that new, returning and   
   graduating post-secondary students aren't financially punished for their   
   volunteer activities."   
       
   " 'This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,' he said, 'We want to make    
   sure our students have the opportunity to experience that.' "   
       
   " 'Volunteering is volunteering,' Duguid said. 'We're not looking to pay   
   students to do this.' " 24H Toronto News, Wednesday, January 15th 2014,    
   "Pan Am volunteers to get break on student loans", p. 4.   
       
   ("This" being taking tickets, shuttling athletes, helping out wherever    
   they're needed: 20,000 students from the beginning of July to the end    
   of August.")   
       
       
       
   THE BAIT: OSAP "Break"   
   ====================   
   1. Their financial contribution to their OSAP loan from summer work will    
       be waived in their financial needs assessment.   
   2. This will result - on average - in a $2,800 loan increase.   
   3. New graduates will get an extra 6-month interest reprieve on their    
       repayment of their OSAP loan which "normally" only has a 6-month    
       reprieve: this "OSAP break" will give them a 12-month reprieve.   
       
       
       
   TOTAL COST   
   ===========   
   If the Gov't is to be believed, the total cost of the "OSAP break" will    
   be $1.9 MILLION.   
       
       
       
   PROBLEM   
   =========   
   For every day they work, they have to pay their transportation to the    
   Pan Am site ($7) and lunch ($8) costing them AT LEAST $15 in OUT   
   OF POCKET EXPENSES.   
       
   Working 5 days a week for 8 weeks that works out to be AT LEAST ($15 x    
   5 days x 8 weeks = ) $600.   
       
   What are the students to live on during the spring and summer?   
       
   Where are they going to get this $600 ?   
      
   Panhandle - LIKE A BUM?   
       
   The Gov't (of one of THE MOST PROSPEROUS NATIONS in the world)*DOESN'T*    
   CARE.   
       
       
       
   THE BOTTOM LINE   
   ================   
   It's *NOT* WORTH THEIR WHILE.   
       
       
       
   ABILITY TO PAY   
   =============   
   Our *CROOKED* FASCIST Police state Gov't has THE ABILITY TO PAY the    
   students $20 an hour.   
      
   After 8 weeks, they'd have ($20 an hour x 40 hours a week x 8 weeks =)    
   $6,400.   
      
   The cost to the Gov't would be ($6,400 x 20,000 = ) $128 MILLION.   
       
   That's *NOT* MUCH - relatively speaking - considering that the Games    
   are going to cost the taxpayer a couple of BILLION DOLLARS anyway -    
   in the end.   
       
       
       
   STOOGES   
   =========   
   For the Gov't of Ontario to *NOT* pay the 20,000 "poor" students is    
   to treat them as STOOGES!   
       
   It shows *NO* RESPECT.   
       
   It's DESPICABLY MEAN.   
       
   It's *NOT* RIGHT.   
       
   It's A CONTINUATION of the "abusive" *FASCIST* Police state POLICY of    
   "STICKING IT" TO THE STUDENTS!   
       
       
       
   SLAVE LABOUR   
   =============   
   In order to "qualify" for the OSAP "break" students have to work AT    
   LEAST 12 out of a "possible" 18 shifts during the Pan Am Games and    
   6 of a "possible" 8 for the Parapan Am events.   
       
       
      
   The É(eh)PC SOLUTION   
   ====================   
   These 20,000 students would be better off working for the É(eh)PC   
   as EH!-recruiters: http://eh-ok.ca/5.htm.   
      
   With the É(eh)PC, the minimum wage will be $20 an hour and university    
   and college will be FREE!
