jack layton for PM!

[Lotavia]

I will vote for Jack Layton for Prime Minister. He makes sense, I am a post secondary student and I have experienced prejudice and discrimmination when trying to obtain an emergency loan, a grant, or a bursary form my school which is University of Toronto. If Jack Layton did all these things that he said he would do I would never have to apply for anything at my school again to have to face the embarssment of going to my financial aid office again.

C'est le moment d'appuyer le NPD pour enfin avoir un premier ministre pour tous les canadiens. It's time to vote NDP for all canadiens.

He'll earn my vote again. He's trustworthy, and I agree with him almost %100 on all issues. While I have nothing against the Bloc and the green party, all other political platforms are useless.

Jack Layton is the only federal leader that is fighting for working people and working students. This video clearly shows why jack should be the next Prime Minister.

Jack has always been one to speak for student rights; he's no new comer to the game. He knows how the system works, and how it abuses people. Forget the bickering between the Libs and Cons, listen to the NDP; let's work together and move forward, instead of fighting and remaining at a stand-still.

I like this video as it's aimed at the target population who want this problem rectified. The way that he communicates through YouTube speaks volumes about his sincerity because: 1 - He's not attacking an opposing party leader, 2 - The message is straight to the point and, 3 - He's in touch with Canadian youth, recognizing the future of internet video.

I'm a person who will be paying off student loans well into my 40's. Layton is bang on in this video and he's earned my vote.
