To me the most important issue is the protection of our ocean. I feel like we really go more into economic situations rather than environmental. The liberals are trying to make the air fresh and clean (reducing pollution), having parks,playgrounds, or beaches where kids play fun and safe,and having clean water. Supporting fish stocks, protecting coast lines from erosion, and protect species at risk. Sure jobs are important but our environment where we live our lives in is VERY important! Those were just some examples from the liberals view but I do really think that this is important. What about you guys? Quote of the day: "Around here, However, we don't look backwards for very long. We KEEP MOVING FORWARD, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."~Walt Disney from Meet The Robinsons. Have a good night guys! Get ready for the run tomorrow! WOO WOO!

I love the movie Meet the Robinsons. It has a great plot, and I love how they twist it a lot. That's a well-made quote alright!

I was always scared of watching it cause the grandpa creeped me out when I was little. I just watched it and ended up LOVING IT! If we were to watch a class movie meet the Robinsons is a great one. Kind of has a message in the quote and the storyline. The twist was utterly amazing and if you guys have never watched it you should really watch it!

I think the most important issue is our National Parks. Its where we can be free, where we can gasp fresh air. Relax, by the nature. When I went to Yoho National Park with my family. I got to actually have fun with my family. Take pictures to treasure. So thats why I think this is important. I had a great meet at Cross Country. This time there were more runners. I came in 5th. See you guys tommorow! Lets get our running shoes on cause its gonne be AWESOME!

Another tip that I have for the people who forget their homework. Always go with the routine of checking if you have things you need from your planner. Like your homework. We write planners every school day so you'll always check it if its inside you backpack. Or you could do it the night before like Ms.Wilson said. But before I leave my house I always check if I have all my homework and stuff in my backpack.

The most important issue to me is probably fair medical cair like people not having huge wait lists for things like life saving surgeries and not having doctors or surgeons not able to do certain surgeries. I have some background knowledge on this because my brother had his appendix about to burst which was very serious and a few hospitals couldn't perform the surgery so it was a very close call which was scary!

The most important issue from the election to me is greater economic security for middle class families. It's important to me because it'll support parents so they can provide their children with the best possible start. Those working hard to join it, needs dedicated financial support, yet Stephen Harper have chosen instead to send child benefit cheques to millionaires. For most Canadians, balancing work and family responsibilities is a daily challenge. Today, both parents work in nearly 7 out of 10 two-parent families. The Liberal government will create one bigger, fair, tax-free, automatic monthly child benefit to put more money back in the pockets of the Canadian families who need it most. And I think that would be very helpful to the middle class families. Can't wait for the terry fox run!

Mine would be creation of jobs because of all the jobless adults who need to support their kids and family and they cant do that without having a income. They need to create more jobs so more people can own houses, drive cars, and even create a good education for their kids. So far Canada has created 20,000 jobs per month since the beginning of 2015. But with the unsteady economy it seams it will be hard to continue this flow of jobs.

I think the most important issue is taxes. I mean, everybody deals with it, so it should be most important. Right? Well, I guess it depends. Conflicts all over about taxes for higher class, middle class, small companies, even corporate polluters.

The most important issue to me is probably would be taxes because. And why because for example Justin Trudeau wants to raise the taxes for the higher class people and lower for middle class witch I don't agree with.

The two issues that really are important to me are parole hearings and university tuition. Even though they are all important to me, these two really stood out. First off, is parole hearings. I think that to let someone out of jail early for first degree murder can effect everyone. I don't want to discriminate, but I feel like if they have taken someone's life, then why would they be given a second chance. In past years, there has been tons of people let out of jail for murder and they have gone and commit another crime. I also think that family members of someone who has been murdered, or anyone, would be scared! So those are my thoughts on parole hearings. I think that university tuition is also important because in 7 years time I'll have to worry about university tuitions. It's kind of that time in your life when your starting to live by yourself and buy an apartment or you have a car you have to pay for, for some reason, and you're having to still pay for textbooks and classes and you can't keep paying for these things, but you still want to have good education so what can you do? Those are my thought on todays post/issues. See everyone tomorrow at school!

Parol hearings should be mine, I didn't know anything about that or what It even was until we started learning about government. I don't think it's long enough for these people to be free, and most of them also don't have a place to go and the government are always building home for the Holmless, and then there letting more people out just to live on the streets and add more Holmless people I don't think that's very smart.

I think that the environment is the most important because eventually we will run out of fossil fuels and then what will we do. so we need to invest in other forms of energy.

Mine is parol hearings because I don't think it is right to keep someone in prison for life, I would give them 15-20 years maybe. But unless the did something REALLY bad I would just on them to see if they changed.

I feel like the enviroment is the most inportant to me such as the oceans, the energy, trophy hunting. A lot of people don't think of this stuff but I feel like more people should.
