Ok, congratulations! But my point is that costs are being downloaded onto those least able to afford it. In the end, universities will receive the same amount of funds - or less if enrolments decline - but a larger share will come from user fees making it much harder for students from modest means to better themselves through education. For transit, costs are downloaded from the provincial taxpayer to the city taxpayer and the end user who will likely pay more and receive less as service is cut.

But yeah, Pallister is making Manitoba great again I guess.
