Why? Because THE FUTURE is ALL ABOUT EDUCATION. Education will be the 2nd MAJOR PRIORITY for the É(eh)PC - after jobs. Under an É(eh)PC lead Gov't, EDUCATION will NOT ONLY be 100% FREE, but students will also be able to get FORGIVABLE LOANS - forgivable after five (5) years after having left college or university. In order to do that, the É(eh)PC will NATIONALIZE+ REGIONALIZE the colleges and universities in order to deliver cost-effective education that equips college+university graduates for the job market. Education is SO IMPORTANT that the Gov't has to take charge in order to make sure college+university students are getting THE BEST EDUCATION POSSIBLE that ensures they're *both* JOB-READY and able to start their own small business. To achieve this, the É(eh)PC will put in place QUALITY CONTROLS and make sure there is a DELIBERATE TIE-IN TO THE JOB MARKET DEMANDS. Believe it or NOT, we doN'T know who owns the colleges+universities. It's NOT the Government. The É(eh)PC solves this problem by nationalizing them. http://eh-ok.ca/egalite.htm#nationalization Currently, our FASCIST! FOR-THE-RICH Gov't tells us we need LIFELONG EDUCATION in order to be EMPLOYABLE so we can do as many different jobs as possible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelong_learning However, LIFELONG EDUCATION is NOT POSSIBLE as TUITION FEES keep going UP+UP to the point that they become UNAFFORDABLE - after a while. This has a NEGATIVE IMPACT on college+ university students as it LIMITS THEIR JOB OPTIONS which in turn LIMITS THEIR JOB MOBILITY including their QUALITY OF LIFE. Here's WHY THE FUTURE IS ALL ABOUT EDUCATION. Let's start with the MOST BASIC of economics+business concepts: MARKET VALUE. You have FIXED ASSETS (things, TANGIBLES): if you can sell them, it's because they have A MARKET VALUE. In the car industry this value is known as THE BLUE BOOK value of your - used - car. http://www.kbb.com If the thing does NOT have any MARKET VALUE, it's WORTHLESS because NO ONE WANTS to buy IT. When THE ECONOMY becomes SICK, FIXED ASSETS (things, tangibles) LOSE THEIR MARKET VALUE. They become WORTHLESS as everyone becomes very careful how they spend their money. In such a SICK ECONOMY JOBS are NOT BEING CREATED. WORST, people are losing their jobs or working less hours. This means they have LESS+LESS $$$ to spend making the economy SICKER! Let's NOT FORGET we STILL have 1.6 MILLION JOBLESS whose lives will be RUINED by social assistance. The 22,000 jobs created this past December does NOT do much to reduce the number of jobless. JOB LOSS is THE MOST BASIC GLOBAL PROBLEM we have in what's being referred to as a JOBLESS ECONOMIC RECOVERY due in large part to ONGOING STIMULUS SPENDING. PLUS! FIXED ASSETS (things, tangibles) DEPRECIATE IN VALUE as they become OLD+OUT OF DATE. However, that's NOT the case with education (AN INTANGIBLE). MARKET VALUE does NOT AFFECT education. In fact, THE MARKET VALUE OF EDUCATION **APPRECIATES** AS it ACCUMULATES. Therefore, which is WORTH MORE? Education (an INTANGIBLE) or things (TANGIBLES)? The CORRECT ANSWER in 2011 is EDUCATION. Jobs options, job mobility+ quality of life DEPEND ON IT. PLUS! INNOVATION is THE *CREATIVE* BYPRODUCT of education. The MORE EDUCTION people have, THE MORE INNOVATION we can expect along with a better quality of life. Historically, the Protestant work ethic favoured the ACCUMULATION OF *MATERIAL* WEALTH as A VISIBLE SIGN of GOD'S GRACE. That perspective is NO LONGER PALATABLE especially due to its INHERENT FASCIST OVERTONES that allows FASCIST GOVERNMENTS like Canada's to serve the Rich at the expense of keeping everyone else pretty much in ECONOMIC SLAVERY due to low wages and by NOT redistributing the wealth. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascist http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inherent $$$ - after all - is JUST A THING. $$$ has NO *INTRINSIC* VALUE - unlike education. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intrinsic For that reason, EDUCATION - today - is EVERYTHING on account of its INTRINSIC VALUE. And for that very reason, EDUCATION is INVALUABLE. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/invaluable Why? It teaches us to SEE+ UNDERSTAND THINGS thanks to "a trained eye". Possibly, this is what is meant by THE WORDS OF HOLY SCRIPTURE "and the blind will see". It can CAST LIGHT on a dark situation that leads to its resolution by discussing+looking at if from different angles. It allows us to figure things out in order to BETTER UNDERSTAND where humankind came from+where it's headed. It's the cornerstone of civilization that allowed us to GO FORWARD. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cornerstone It helps us understand who we are, what we're about, how much we all have in common: did you know WE ALL SHARE 99% of THE *SAME* DNA? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dna In other words, education HUMANIZES US, SENSITIZES US to our fellow human being. It teaches us what BEING HUMAN is ALL ABOUT. It helps us to BETTER CHART OUR FUTURE. Education is also the UNDERPINNING of literature+culture that NOURISHES the HUMAN SPIRIT that helps it to SOAR. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/underpinning Education is our GREATEST *LIBERATING* FORCE that offers us GREATER DEGREES OF FREEDOM. That's why LITERACY IS SO IMPORTANT - especially for those who are poor+struggling. (That's why it's SO SAD to learn that India has a ONLY a 50% literacy rate.) Today, due to people being forced to accept THE NEW ECONOMIC REALITY that they'll be EARNING LESS IN THE FUTURE due to time spent in between jobs+knowing that their FUTURE JOBS depend on how much education they'll have, we're experiencing a PARADIGM SHIFT. "Paradigm shift" defined: http://www.taketheleap.com/define.html We are going from a material-base society to A LESS MATERIALISTIC one where KNOWLEDGE+ INFORMATION is THE NEW CURRENCY and where FIXED ASSETS are seen as more BURDENSOME than any thing else given a more MOBILE LIFE STYLE. WHAT'S THE POINT of owning a multimillion dollar home+many vehicles if those things become WORTHLESS due to economic circumstance? It's a "paradigm shift" as people realize that INTANGIBLES like EDUCATION+PERSONAL SKILLS ACCUMULATE IN VALUE as they accumulate over time UNLIKE TANGIBLES (things) that DEPRECIATE. In this "paradigm shift" EDUCATION is A VERY VALUABLE ASSET which will replace wealth as *THE* POWER+STATUS SYMBOL of the future. So, it's will NO LONGER be HOW MUCH YOU HAVE that counts, but HOW MUCH YOU KNOW. Our goal in life will NOT BE to ACCUMULATE THINGS, but TO KNOW THINGS. This will allow us to be of GREATER BENEFIT to our global society because we'll be able to ADD VALUE thanks to our education+INSIGHT that comes with education. So, do you want to be A HOLDER OF THINGS or A KNOWER OF THINGS that makes you A MOVER+SHAKER because you know how to influence change - in the right direction. Thanks to education, you can become AN AGENT OF POSITIVE CHANGE that IMPROVES THE HUMAN CONDITION and in doing do, become a true hero or heroine. This paradigm shift is THE PRODUCT of a new postmodern service-base socially-connected information-savvy global culture ushered in by the Internet+portable phones where EVERYONE HELPS EVERYONE, where EQUALITY has REPLACED THE Renaissance HIERARCHY of modernism, THE BUTTRESS OF FASCISM. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/buttress Organizations tend become flat, matrix-based (instead of hierarchical) as we've seen with the *authentic* dot-coms where everyone is HIGHLY VALUED TEAM MEMBER who creates SYNERGY with everyone pulling in the same direction. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/synergy With this NEW postmodern service-oriented FRATERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS+ paradigm shift THE SLOGAN OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION of liberty, equality, and fraternity (liberté, égalité, fraternité) BECOMES REALITY. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libert%C3%A9,_%C3%A9galit%C3%A9,_fraternit%C3%A9 This paradigm shift ushers in A NEW *compact* LIFE STYLE: one of DE-COLLECTIVIZATION, global mobility, greater freedom of movement, flexible job hours, MORE CHOICES, IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE due to an environmental friendly REUSE, REDUCE+RECYCLE mentality. This NEW MENTALITY is *already* reducing consumer consumption as we LEARN TO LIVE WITH LESS. In the future, we will be MATERIALLY POORER, but INTELLECTUALLY RICHER+HAPPIER because we'll have GREATER CONTROL over the direction of our lives. This KNOWLEDGE-BASE SOCIETY of the future that generates prosperity HINGES on one thing: FREE EDUCATION. FREE EDUCATION will let Canadians get as much education they feel they need - throughout their lifetime. FREE EDUCATION will allow the JOBLESS to be PRODUCTIVE by enabling them to go back to school so they can become MORE EMPLOYABLE. PRODUCTIVITY is THE CORNERSTONE of the É(eh)PC because it's THE KEY TO A VIBRANT, STRONG ECONOMY and tomorrow's productivity is directly dependent on FREE EDUCATION. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cornerstone So WHY is Prime Minister Harper SO GUNG HO on acquiring 65 NEW! F-35 jet fighter when the ones the military already have, the CF-18s, are fine? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gung%20ho ShouldN'T he be thinking in terms of education instead of war planes? Are HIS PRIORITIES in the wrong place? What do you think? Does he deserve to get reelected with THIS DISPLAY OF *INCORRECT* THINKING that cost the taxpayer exorbitant amounts of money with NO DIRECT BENEFIT to them in return? What do you think? Personally, I think Canadians need to give him THE HEAVE HO. We need FREE EDUCATION more than we need more fighter jets when the ones we have are fine. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heave-ho The É(eh)PC sees FREE EDUCATION as being THE KEY TO CANADA'S FUTURE. But our Conservative Party Prime Minister see things differently. Our Conservative Party Prime Minister seems to want to wallow in the past by buying expensive war planes we don't need when the Cold War is over? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wallow So, do you want FREE EDUCATION or $18 BILLION worth of fighter jets? Which will benefit you? With the É(eh)PC you get FREE EDUCATION+A BRIGHT FUTURE. IsN'T that what any you want? A BRIGHT FUTURE. With Harper you get THE PAST: let's NOT! GO BACK THERE. GO FORWARD with the É(eh)PC for a MORE CARING, ALTRUISTIC, SAFER SOCIETY where everybody is EQUALLY VALUED by an É(eh)PC-lead Gov't that works 100% for YOU! Kenneth Selin (say'leen) ~~~ B.A.(Psychology), B.A.(Spanish), B.Admin., B.Comm.(Honours), B.A.(Italian) "magna cum laude" ~~~ President, Party Leader of the É(eh)PC ~~~ Count on the É(eh)PC 4YOUR! SHARE of the wealth 4CLEAN! Gov't WORKING 100% - for YOU! http://www.eh-ok.ca
