Dear Ida Chong,
I loved you in Resident Evil! With this in mind, I would hope that you would keep in mind all the students in British Columbia this consumerist, pseudo holiday.
The first great reason to do such a thing is naturally me! I am amazing. Secondly (ironically more important than the first), as people in a legislative position retire and/or (yes I realize how awkward this sentence sounds already) move on in life, then it is the students that are currently enrolled in classes who will fill said positions.
The third most important reason is also one you may have not considered; if you were to raise tuition instead of lowering them, then come election time (specifically the campaign for Prime Minister position, but really any provincial or federal election) the very same students you have sentenced to debt will probably be more inclined to vote for another candidate. Not really that it would make a difference as the primary focus of our elections are simply to give the illusion that we (excluding people in positions of power, such as yourself) actually have a say in what goes on in this chunk of land referred to as Canada. However, it would be nice to see your name on a ballot slip for P.M.
Finally, this brings me to probably the best reason to keep the students in mind during Valentine's Day: You won't have people thing you are a character from a video game! Educating people leads them to make informed decisions, this is a good thing, utilize this universal truth to establish a change! Don't fall into the social-political game of "it's all down hill form here", be the example; the beacon of hope that students so desperately require right now!
Sincerely,
A. Warren Johnson
PS- I'm glad you are safe, you know, after the whole Raccoon City fiasco.
