2008 Video Contest Winners

And the winners are...

Here are three winning entries from the Fraser Institute's 2008 Student Video Contest. First place, high school goes to Alyssa Moore for "Save Canada's Health Care." First place, post-secondary goes to Richard Norman and Tim Mak for "Dog Days," and second place goes to Matt Bufton for "Health Care in Canada: Can Competition Heal."

Additional winning entries can be viewed on the Video Contest playlist.

These students should be commended for their original, entertaining videos that demonstrated how economics can be used to tackle the problems in the Canadian health care system. Next year's contest will be announced soon - students can win thousands of dollars in cash!

Global warming is coming

[1223mememe1223]

Why does the Fraser Institute promote the idea of Global Warming being fake? I mean are we honestly supposed to take these people seriously as an institution if they promote such dangerously ignorant ideas?

Anything we can do to get rich people health care so they don't have to worry about the poor people line ups is a great thing! Then we can cut taxes because the public system won't need any funding, we'll all have private coverage! Less taxes means more jobs for poor people, and then we can use them to make even more money with our businesses!

God loves rich people and hates poor people so we should too. Don't you love God?
