I awoke Monday morning and followed my “normal” daily routine, which includes checking my e-mail while still lying in bed, it helps ease me out of bed, (I swear I’m not an addict), but I digress… I later found this article in my reader.
Make higher education more accessible: Ignatieff
Sounds reasonable enough right? Except he made the “announcement” in Newfoundland, which has the lowest tuition rates in the country! And a provincial grant system that means students are receiving money they don’t have to pay back.
The 100-word story failed to mention that part and essentially just tells readers what he said. Where’s the SO WHAT? or the HOW?
You can’t even tell if the CBC story included an actual interview with the official opposition leader…I’m betting it didn’t.
While I’d be stoked to have my loan payments decrease by doing public service, I think this is so beyond ridiculous not to mention unfeasible. C’mon Ignatieff, come up with something that might actually work. And after complaining about the prorogation for three months, why are you not in the House?
Readers, here’s my question to you: Why do you think Ignatieff chose to outline the post-secondary platform in NL?
Thanks so much for the blog article.Much thanks again.
