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.

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


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!
