Nora Loreto's Submission for "Next Great Prime Minister"

I thought that students applying to be Canada's Next Great Prime Minister should be talking about issues that important to us and which are too often absent from the National debate... Here's my pitch for free tuition!

Thanks for everyone's support and lets make sure we do keep the fight up against higher tuition fees and access for all to post-secondary education!!!

[NoraLoreto]

Hey everyone,

Well, the contest is over and I did as well as I wanted too. Figuring that Free Tuition Fees is too extreme for this competition... and that I'm not too similar to many of the other types that have come and gone on this show, I'm happy to announce that I was called for a semi-finalist interview and not chosen!

Hey Nora weren't you supposed to be sort of working when filmed this? Since when has filming a video for a contest part of working for Ryerson Students? Oh and take the CFS pin off, nobody cares....

[NoraLoreto]

In case anyone would think I did this during office hours... I actually did it on a half-hour lunch.

Your criticism would have been better if had been about my idea and not just used as a platform to insert your thinly veiled politic.

I was going to post more... but youtube as a word limit and I way much more to say. Any interest in it, message me Nora.

[firefruze]

Firstly, yes sadly I am an RSU member ( or I could be a doppleganger... is that what you're afraid of Nora?) and while I'm not hiding I'm sure to secure my privacy on the net. If you want to know me message me.

Hey Nora!

Great great Submission video, Keep us updated on how that goes.

***REDUCE TUITION FEES!*** :-)

As for firefruze, your negativity is not appreciated here. Clearly, you don't have the skills, or the guts, to run in this competition, which is for people who want to make a difference, and the judges certainly won't be considering your petty views on the individuals or their policies that have nothing to do with this competition.

It is a shame that you have wasted your time writing silly accusations and inappropriate remarks.

Good luck Nora!

[chicscot]

Nora - it is nice to see someone taking a natural approach in their submission. Good luck in the competition.

[NoraLoreto]

You should take your misdirected criticism and try to change your party for the benefit for the people in this province.

I've been three times elected through student majorities... clear ones too. If your concerns are genuine, you should come to my office and we can talk about them.

[NoraLoreto]

But yet, you wont even disclose your identity. Are you an RSU member? I see you're tied to the Young Liberals, a group who has a pretty bad track record on tuition fees because of future hopes of employment.

Free tuition fees is not a policy of the Canadian Federation of Students... and I truly believe that it will make Canada a better place. Free tuition fees isn't even a campaign of the RSU and... aside from the office I hold, has nothing really to do with the RSU.

But unfortunately she's a student president which for the most part works for an organization with unreasonable plans and ideas and not for the 20,000 students shes paid to represent. I could go on and on and on about the misrepresentations shes done at both the university and media levels and how she was voted in not by a student majority but by a
