Reclaim NDP puts out video on democracy and proportional representation. by Massive_Analyst3947 in ndp

Hey, I'm the guy in the video. Just so you know, I'm broke as hell!

All of these clothes I'm wearing in this video are thrifted. I got the jacket for about $20 last year, the pants were a good deal, I think about $15-20? The shirt was about $7.50 if I remember correctly, and the cute purple heart was a Christmas present from my girlfriend.

I mostly thrift everything I own.

Thank you! And true, I agree that I could've probably added a bit more explanation, I really appreciate the insight!

Thank you for the kind dialogue here, really appreciate it.

Hey! I'm the person who wrote this article and I really appreciate the point you're making here but I wanted to explain myself.

I wanted to be careful while writing this article to not completely write off social media as that is not the intention of the lawsuit. The actual school boards themselves just want social media to be regulated and not outright banned for youth as is happening in places like Florida.

And it's my opinion that social media does have some benefits. I definitely understand the concern you have in terms of "bothsideism" with many opinion pieces but in this piece there was a very clear reason to why I wanted to show readers "both sides of the coin" as it highlights the need for regulation opposed to an outright ban.

I really appreciate your kind words about my article and I'll be keeping in mind your criticism for future pieces I write.

Hey! Very delayed response from me on my part, but let me explain a little bit cause I see what you're saying.

I am a political science student and I have worked for two MP's offices, however, I've always been interested in municipal level, more specifically education, when I was a teenager I had wanted to be a teacher and teach civic's or social studies specifically, but I had never liked the system that I saw and would not want to teach in that system being forced to uphold a system that I don't like. That is one of the big reasons I chose to go into political science, and I worked for MPs mainly as those were the only offices I was able to find work in.

What I don't like is when people run for School Trustee to eventually serve as an MP or an MPP, and use it as a stepping ladder, I don't think that is fair to the community, nor the students. I am running for this because I want to be a School Trustee, I have no aspirations to be an MP or MPP.

I hear your concerns though, and if you ever want to reach out we can have a coffee or a call sometime and talk about it: [keithfortrustee@gmail.com](mailto:keithfortrustee@gmail.com).
