Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger has announced the provincial government will make it easier for students to obtain loans in support of their education.
Interest free loans will be made available to students attending Manitoba post secondary institutions. As well, students will no longer be refused a loan because they own a vehicle.
These changes have been welcomed by local students, who say this will leave more money in their pockets, while allowing them to use their cars for travel. Another result of these changes could see more people becoming students.
In this CKUW 95.9 FM report, we hear from the Premier who spells out the changes, and from some of the students who attended the announcement at the University of Winnipeg.
I am Julien Cooper. Let's talk electronics.
I advocate strongly in the sharing of existing resources such as electronic devices, for both personal and citizen journalistic uses. I call it 'Useful recycling we can use again' as in goods not broken down and then re-manufactured.
I also offer free of charge the simple repairs and returns of electronics and free collections of electronics to re-purpose for new users. I hope one day we will have a fully established technical repair shop available to create an inner-city repair and exchange shop which the public can use as a makerspace or to receive or offer services in, which can include designing new inventions with or without peer help and having a public trade-in or exchange depot.
