Jobs: Liberal & NDP Insight

Two nights ago I took part in a 'Town Hall' hosted by CBC Windsor. The point of this was to have all three political representatives (NDP, Liberal, and PC) from the Essex region come and answer questions about jobs. However, the PC candidate refused to come. The reason  of which, I can only guess.
The two people at question were Ken Schmidt (Liberal) and Tara Natyshak (NDP). Mr Schmidt's well spoken and has years of experience behind his belt (as you can see by his age). Mr Natyshak on the other hand is more of the average Joe--and he was very nervous (his face lit up like a firetruck).
My job here was to ask a question. My question, I directed at the Liberal's, "You plan to carry through with the Samsung Deal--which should bring in up to 300 jobs to the Windsor area. But, at the same time, you plan to decrease student tuition costs by up to $1,500. Where is the money supporting both these expensive plans coming from? also, which one would most likely be scrapped should funds be insufficient?"
Schmidt's reply hinted at the fact that the Samsung Deal was somewhat out of their hands, but that they are very much aiming to keep it in place. As for students, they are the priority. They set the future in students--which makes sense because technically we are.
Natyshak on the other hand, complained about the Green Energy Act and how some communities are burdened with things such as solar farms (such a burden?). He complained about the deal being done behind closed doors, and he feels that things like that should be brought out into the public. He also stated that the Liberals are planning to freeze tuition rates as they are. He feels that this will save more money in thing long run--I feel different.
I have three years of undergraduate education left. The Liberals are presenting me $1,500 a year. That's $4,500 (should I get compensation for this year). And, if I go off to do my Master's, that's more money. If tuition rates stay as they are, they stay as they are. I highly doubt that tuition is going to jump by over $1,500 within the next few years, so chances are that the Liberal proposition will present more money in a student's pocket.

Overall, the Town Hall was an eventful night. Both of the parties that showed up are respectful. Both wish for a better Canada.

In the Beginning

This is The Rankin 'Port. I--yours truly--will serve to report to you what matters. I am currently a Digital Journalism & Creative Writing student from the University of Windsor (Ontario, Canada). If you don't know where that is, it's that place just South of the Detroit River.
My goal is to bring news (and other interesting tidbits of the like) to you. Some of it will be funny--other stuff, kinda more serious. Some stuff obviously won't be relevant to you, but who cares? A story is a story, and that's what I deliver.
