If elected, a C4U government would work to create accessible and affordable education for all Canadian citizens, to provide equal development opportunities. The bulk of this cost would be recovered by a new revenue stream coming from private businesses, refunding the educational costs of the students once hired. This would also eliminate students from coming out of education with massive debt. With companies generating high profit margins through this movement, the extra income gathered is entirely invested into advancing and growing the current educational system. The refunding mechanism will also subsidize the investment in improving online learning and remote education platforms. The government and students are hereby freed from

Winters received a great deal of kindness and compassion from people during his war experience. I was surprised by the family, the Barneses, Winters met during his time in England. The family tragically lost their son in the Battle of Britain during early WW2. They showed Winters, a man that they just met hospitably by inviting him for tea and eventually volunteering to host him and another officer of the infantry in their home. I assumed that the soldiers were constantly trained until their first official mission but when they traveled to different camps, officers were billeted in private homes and the Barnes family opened their doors to Winters. This showed me that throughout all the chaos and destruction the war brought, people can still
I have had some experience with different companies and I have decided to discuss the company that my husband works for full time.

With agriculture being a major industry in the United States, it is concerning to see how few young farmers there are. This dilemma has occurred, since less people are now raised on farms, and consequently society lacks having agricultural knowledge. Additionally, modern machinery allows farmers to be able to effectively manage larger tracts of land.
