YouTube Used in Fight For New School

Last week, Thestar.com reported a NDP MP’s campaign on YouTube to build a long awaited primary school in Attawapiskat, Northern Ontario, Canada.

By the weekend it was the third most watched political video on YouTube Canada.

The reason why YouTube was used to launch this campaign is because the MP believes that this is where people go to get their information.

Yesterday, Thestar.com reported that despite the campaign on YouTube, the primary school will not be built.

I think that it’s fantastic that YouTube has been used to promote this worthy cause. So far, the video has been viewed16, 893 and gathered 129 comments. This clearly shows how YouTube has the ability to be used to benefit the general public.
