This article is ridiculous. It presents an obviously uniformed and highly opinionated view of what OSAP is all about. Since the author seems to be lacking any type of account from someone who has actually used OSAP at all, let alone for the past 5 years, I'll offer some facts. First off, $7.50 or $200 a

It'd be really useful to show a table of tuition fees across the country. Are Ontario tuition far higher than other provines? A little higher? I'd imagine the annual Macleans university guide would be a good source... Simply saying Ontario tuitions are "higher" is a pretty dodgy assertion without providing context...

Actually the "affront to students" is more the suggestion that they're all desperately in need of governments handouts to attend school. There are all sorts of students who had the foresight to plan ahead for uni, hold down a part-time job and, maybe, receive OSAP to help cover the costs. The so-called "student leaders" who

For the fourth time, the Thunderwolves knocked the Mustangs out of the Queen’s Cup race after ... (more)
1. Don’t be fooled by Gary Bettman’s posturing over the NHL’s involvement in the2014 winter Olympic games in Sochi, Russia. The NHL will be there. 2. Bettman, a shrewd negotiator, is well aware of the fact the players want to be at that tournament. And with another session of collective bargaining ... (more)
Twenty-one wins, 42 points and the Ontario University Athletics West division title. Yet, after 55 minutes of game two against the upstart University of Ontario Institute of Technology Ridgebacks, all of the accolades the Western Mustangs men’s hockey team earned seemed meaningless. Enter Yashar Farmanara. Down one game to the Ridgebacks ... (more)
Starting Roberto Luongo against the Germans Tuesday night and for the rest of the tournament is the easiest decision head coach Mike Babcock has had to make during these Olympic games. Martin Brodeur looked like an amateur playing against the United States Sunday night and was truly outclassed by his ... (more)
Busy week in sports, no? Definitely a whole lot to talk about. I won’t get to everything — how about them Raptors? — since most customers won’t make it through to the end of this if I do. Apparently the kids don’t have the attention spans for my, ... (more)

As the Mustangs accumulated in a circle on the ice at the John Labatt Centre to hoist the Jack Frost Cup, it almost looked like they had won something worth celebrating. Of course, they haven’t really earned that right of passage — beating the last place team in a competition for ... (more)
1. I’m not feeling a lot of remorse for Georges Laraque after the Montreal Canadiens told the 13-year NHL veteran to go home and stay there for the rest of the season — a move Laraque called “classless.” Laraque is being grossly overpaid — the Habs signed him to a three-year ... (more)
The Mustangs women’s hockey team is its own worst enemy. The Mustangs coughed up a two-goal lead in the third period at Thompson arena Sunday night, eventually losing 4-3 in a shootout to the visiting Brock Badgers. The loss marked the second time in two consecutive nights the Mustangs had squandered a ... (more)
Despite an early lead, the Mustangs failed to hang on to the win.
