Some people are easily discouraged by this issue. Even though they support UNBSJ, they feel this is a done deal that is going to go through anyway. Judging by Shawn Graham’s comments lately, he seems intent on pushing this through since that’s easier than checking first to make sure that doing so isn’t only the hugest mistake in the history of the world. (Enjoy that statement, there would be a lot less drama and history classes available in Saint John with a polytechnic!)
Getting discouraged is NOT an option for this issue. Let me tell you that this “done” deal (if it really is already set in stone) is one that WILL get UN-done. We must fight to keep a university in Saint John using a wide variety of methods, and getting as many different groups and types of people involved as possible. Friends of yours that own a business, work for a business, or are in some position of power anywhere are all in a position to be affected even indirectly by what the university, and they all should have a say. The Premier can only ignore support and facts supporting UNBSJ for so long before he will have to pause for a second, and listen to what people are really saying instead of what is contained in an agenda-driven report.
If you don’t do this, go to the shame corner right away! Rick Miner and Jacques L’Ecuyer (Commissioners of Committed on Post-Secondary Degradation) will keep you company there.
