This made me smile. I don't know Michelle. I'm sure she's a great person. But when Mike Harris was allowing tuition fees to rise in the late 1990s the Liberals were using exactly the same apocalyptic arguments she is now attacking. Those of us who were involved at that time were saying then (and I still do) what she is saying now. Indeed, Michelle's list of talking points is pratically lifted from the ones sent out by the old Tory research office (Peter Naglik, RIP) way back when.
So we've come full circle. What a pleasant turn of events. I'm glad the Liberals, now that they are in government and realize the need to increase revenue at universities, have turned on the CFS's bogus arguments.
Higher tuition = more money in the system + more bursaries + more accessibility + better quality eduction.
As an aside, I was pleasantly surprised to see a decent number of partisan Liberal bloggers calling for Garth Turner to resign and run in a byelection. Good on them.
