Parks Canada Celebrates 100 years of Discovery

Canada has the best backyard in the world. Canada is famous for its fantastic and peaceful wilderness. The country of Holland can fit into Lake Huron very easily still with room to splash around. Canada has plenty of places to explore. Canada has new cities which are dynamic and evolving. But it is the beauty of the massive forests, towering mountains, pristine lakes and the land’s sheer breadth that attracts many visitors. This year is Parks Canada 100th anniversary. Parks Canada administers 42 national parks that this year attracted 22 million people. The agency we know as Parks Canada was established on May 19, 1911 as the Dominion Parks Branch under the department of the interior. This was the world’s first national park service.


This is one of those moments when you are proud to be Canadian. As a Canadian you are so happy to see that you have such a beautiful place to live. It is truly incredible that Parks Canada is celebrating 100 years with so man y beautiful sights to see. It is such an honor to live in the world’s best play ground.

Toronto's zoo Elephants

The Toronto Zoo board had decided to move the elephants to an AZA approved zoo. The Toronto zoo board also passed a motion by chair Joe Torzsok that would allow sending the elephants to a sanctuary if a suitable zoo ca not be found. Alain Fafard who is a director of Granby Zoo wants to bring the Toronto elephants to this zoo. Granby Zoo had renovated its elephant enclosure in 2006. The zoo has more than 7,000-square-metres of outdoor play area with a graduated-depth pool for the elephants. Seven elephants have died at the Toronto Zoo since 1984 and after the death of Tara in 2009this exhibit is under debate to hold elephants.


I believe that the elephants should be moved to a different zoo. If 8 elephants have died in less than 25 years at Toronto zoo something is wrong. The Granby zoo is a great facility for the animals. The Granby zoo already has to elephants that live there and is an established zoo for elephants. I strongly think that the Toronto zoo should give their elephants to the Granby zoo.

Peaceful ‘pot heads’ march for marijuana

It was Saturday may 7th when a peaceful march was held for Marijuana. 25,000 people who smoke and protest that marijuana should be legal and be easier to access for medical reasons joined in this march. These 25,000 people spent most of the day smoking joints on the lawn at Queen’s Park. Many of the people protesting worked up an appetite while parading across downtown streets with banners that said things that displayed better access to medical marijuana or the legalization of marijuana itself. This parade was very successful and all people paraded peacefully which was always the main goal.


I am very happy this years parade went smoothly and peacefully. All of the people who joined in this parade had said what they needed to say in the best way they can. I agree marijuana should be legalized because although it is a drug it is better than most other illegal drugs. In my opinion I think they should legalize marijuana and focus on the drugs that make a bigger difference that harm more people like: Crystal meth, heroin, gate way drugs, and prescription pills like oxycotten and morphine.

bin laden Dead Picture Wont be Released

The world most known terrorist osama bin laden was killed and the picture of his execution will not be released. Obama had decided not to release the picture due to its graphic nature. Obama had also said he didn’t want to release the picture because it could cause a national security problem for the United States. Obama said some people may deny the fact that he is dead but the fact that you will never see him walk the earth again will prove his death. It was stated that if the picture was shown other terrorist groups or his followers would take it as disrespect and inflict war on the United States.

I strongly believe that President Obama did the right thing. If people saw the picture they would gloat about it and across the world this picture would be seen and there definitely would be a national security issue. I do not deny the fact he is dead because of the detail of the attack and what he had in his pockets. To me I do not care if I see the picture or not, he is dead and now I know he will not cause terror in the world any longer. This is what people should focus on, he is dead and we are all safe from hi terror. In conclusion I am very happy this awful, heartless, coward is dead.

Donald Trump Vs. Obama

One of the wealthiest men in the world had called the man that is in highest power a poor student who did not deserve to be admitted to the Ivy League universities he attended. Donald trump who is one of the wealthiest men in the world had said this to President Obama who is in highest power. Donald trump is trying to run for a bid for a Republican presidential nomination. Donald trump is trying to imply that Obama was a terrible student. Donald is trying to persuade How a bad student cannot simply go from Columbia and then to Harvard. Trump said in an interview that he is certainly looking into it.

I believe that Donald trump is an absolute phony. Donald Trump is talking non sense. Even if Barrack Obama was a terrible student he is the president of the United States. By Donald Trump saying all of these things about Obama it is attracting a lot of publicity for Donald Trump. I think it is a complete publicity stunt and Trump is just trying to get recognized. Also, Donald said he will make the decision to run for president, my bet is he won’t because it’s all for publicity.

Penis museum gets its first human specimen

Tuesday, April 14th history was made in an Icelandic museum. This is no ordinary museum it is a “Penis Museum”. I kid you not this is a museum for exhibits of phalluses from whales, seals, bears and other mammals in Iceland's Philological Museum. You make think this is a crazy type of museum but it gets even better. A new artifact has been admitted and donated the museum. The new artifact is of a human specimen. A 95-year-old man, Pall Arason, had donated his pickled penis to this obscure museum; this artifact will be the main attraction in one of his country’s most bizarre museums. This museum is located in a tiny Icelandic fishing town of Husavik. Pall Arason was not the only one to donate his penis. There are 3 more men who have pledged their own to the museum. A man by the name of Sigurdur Hjartarson is very proud of his museum and he had stated that one of his most famous artifacts is a 170-centimetre (67-inch) sperm whale penis preserved in formaldehyde. This museum is a huge contributor to all of its tourism and is a famous museum in its town.


I find this museum completely disturbing. I find it sickening that a person would go to a museum to look at really large penises. Also, it is very weird that a person would donate his man hood to a museum. This is one of the oddest things I have ever heard or seen in my life. In my humble opinion I would never go to a museum as disturbing as this.

Canadian girl Dies in Bahamas water-park accident

It was April 7th, 2011 when a tragic accident occurred at the world famous Atlantis water park in Bahamas. A 5 year old Canadian girl died in the water park which is owned by Kerzner International Holdings Ltd. of the Bahamas. She was reported to die the day after the accident. The aqua venture pool has many pools and many slides for the people to enjoy. But, this is not the only death at this water park. August 2000, a young boy died after being sucked into the drainage system.


I have gone to the Bahamas and stayed at the Atlantis many times. I have always gone to the water park and I really enjoy what it has to offer. I believe it is one of the safest water parks there is. There are many security guards as well as life guards so it is very safe. It believe it was truly an accident and that this girl died by sheer misfortune.

Ignatieff makes Harper look like a Fool

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff challenged conservative leader Steven Harper to a one on one debate. Steven Harper declined this request and will not attend the debate. Ignatieff had stated that Harper cannot be trusted. Harper wanted to do the debate saying, “Lets step in to the ring toe to toe.” But suddenly Harper backed out. Ignatieff is saying that if this man is backing out and changing things he is not to be trusted. Harper was all for the debate and then backed out. Ignatieff has the right to be mad at Harper because he lied.


I believe that Steven Harper made a promise to debate and then backed out. This is a terrible thing to do as a prime minister because people trust his word that is why he is Prime Minister. Ignatieff was asked to a debate he accepted and when he accepted Harper backed out and that is not something a Prime Minister should do. I believe that Ignatieff will win the next election Steven Harper is not reliable.

Liberals Want to Spend $1000 for each Student's School Funding

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff speaks at Sheridan College in Oakville about a new $1 billion campaign for student College Funding. Ignatieff wants to take this 1 billion dollars and give $1000 every year for four years, to each student to help pay for college. Ignatieff also stated that this money would not be needed to be paid back to the government. "I can say without exaggeration that this is a real revolution in learning and training in Canada — and that will give us the means of becoming the most competitive society in the world," Ignatieff said. Also, A Liberal statement had stated that the program would be an addition to the existing tuition education tax credits and textbook tax subsidies. Ignatieff has just launched this $1 billion dollar campaign and is leaving Toronto and Québec for the first time and is heading to Vancouver.


I personally do not like Michael Ignatieff as a leader. Firstly, this $1 billion dollars is such a ridiculous idea! 4 thousand dollars to every student does not make sense. This money might be wasted due to drop outs by the people receiving the 1000 dollars. Also, there are many more things that this $1 billion dollars can be used for. Education is key but the people can get jobs or student loans or other means of funding. People without houses, people who are disabled or even hospitals that need fixing better deserve this money. With this I believe that Ignatieff should not be Canada’s Prime Minister

Man kills school Girl in Shooting

A police officer was working on security duty at a store on boxing day when he heard up to 12 gunfire shots. He was in the store and all people panicked, people were running frantically in and outside of the store. When the police officer upholstered his weapon he ran outside and he saw School girl, Jane Creba, who was lying their dead on the street. The law broken was committing a murder, citizens of Canada have the right to be free and live life without the worries of people in possession of deadly weapons. Canadians have the responsibility to not commit murder or harm to other citizens. Also, the consequence varies on the murder scene.


At this crime scene there is no evidence but the person is strongly believed to have committed the crime he may receive 5 to 10 years. But, if the person has evidence against them they can go to jail for life. I believe people who commit murder should be put away for life in jail. This is a current rule so I believe it is a great rule. Although the person who committed this crime got away with it I strongly believe he should have gone to jail.
