 The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, a group of advocates said Monday.They 
claim that the indigenous children are having poor condition such as lack of basic supplies and heat,even have aboriginal children in the school which is a discrimination to the indigenous.“There is no reason for this inequity in such a wealthy country," said Bianichi. 




  In my opinion, i think that Canada as the one of the most wealth country should take care of those indigenous children with equality as other normal school in Canada, they should not have less welfare service, education chance than others.In nowadays, as a globalism world we should respect races and different cultures of the world.

  The American government have the "Buy American " clause back again  , which is
a part of the stimulus plan of U.S. president Obama; in order to protect the American's manufacturing.
On 18 October the U.S. Ambassador David Jacobson defended that the "Buy American"clause will
help and stimulus U.S. which will also be a benefit to Canada.In the mean time that there are many countries clam that is trade protection of the U.S .Free trade will help the economy more than a Buy American rule, International Trade Minister Ed Fast told the U.S. government Tuesday.Fast clam that 
the "Buy American" clause will not help American economics at all, in the history have proved thatn times of severe economic challenge, the global economy is revived by lowering trade barriers, and that raising them will have the opposite effect,even more he said the best way the American government can do is to 
trough open and freely trade .


  In my opinion, i think that the clause and the demand of the American is a trade protection movement very obviously . As Mr Fast said in his statement, it is clearly that under this worst global economic atmosphere,a trade protection movement won't stimulus the economics but an opposite reaction;and strongly push down the effective of government;more,it will waste the taxes because the government 
will increase the fee of buy their own country production.

 There was case about pitting freedom of expression against laws banning hate speech is before the country's highest court Wednesday.The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission took it's case to against William Whatcott published a book that with hateful anti-Gay 's book in 2001-2003


   The highest made decision of  groups targeted with hatred, or a citizen's right to speak freely. In my

Debate summary

The Health Care

The Debate in the part before final was about health care ,that the question was asked by an university student from Burlington that will any of the party leader
can increase the larger amount of the health system 's facility.3 party represent nearly same view ,that 
Ontario should increase more manpower for hospital
in the future: Expect Mrs Andrea Horwath , she clam that the government should increase the budget of 
home care(especially senior) in order to decrease the pressure of the front line doctors and nurses .






In my point of view , i think in order to solve this problem, many people may think that we should 
increase the limit and open more hospital and 
increase more doctor and nurse in the hospital ,
but what i am thinking is that the government 
should have more propaganda on TV , newspaper
to empazise the importance of  personal hygence ,
for the people under 40 or teenager can prevent 
them easily to get fur or cold ,that if many people can 
prevent from this not serious disease , that could 
be a good way to decrease the pressure of hospital.In
the mean time i think that home care is another 
good policy to senior that ,a they can live close with 
their family , b decrease the hospital pressure, c if they 
can pay for it , it can help government to save money,
this is my personal opinion  .

        In my point of view , I think the government is doing a good job that prevent the health risk and take care the people who need drugs and help them to recover from taking drugs and lead them back to society.

#4Transportion moves voters, but politicians are loath to discuss it

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ontario-election/transportion-moves-voters-but-politicians-are-loath-to-discuss-it/article2179800/

It’s expensive, it’s politically charged, and voters take it seriously.
Transportation may not be the most prominent issue on Ontario politicians’ agendas, but it’s one they know they need to pay attention to.
In the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, the province’s biggest economic hub, traffic congestion costs $6-billion a year, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Gridlock also limits job opportunities and reduces the amount of time people can spend with family and friends.


In my opinion , as the election is nearly coming , politican should take traffic congestion very serious that it could affect lots of people's job and time , which is part of people's life ,i strongly suggest that after the election the governer should make a change for people,to build more highway to create jobs and safe time for people,as the world being a econmic crises , government should make this as a good chance to create jobs and decrease Canadian dissent.

Civic#2(Abbas declares 'Palestinian Spring')

Abbas declares 'Palestinian Spring'

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas received a hero's welcome Sunday upon his return to the West Bank, declaring a "Palestinian Spring" has begun after his appeal to the United Nations for recognition of a Palestinian state.
Abbas told a massive crowd of supporters that he went to the UN to express the hopes and aspirations of the Palestinian people, as well as the frustrations, the CBC's Sasa Petricic reported from the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Abbas said the speech marked a new beginning for the Palestinian people similar to the "Arab Spring" earlier this year that saw citizens of several Arab nations rise up for freedom.
"We have told the world that there is the Arab Spring, but the Palestinian Spring is here," he said. "A popular spring, a populist spring, a spring of peaceful struggle that will reach its goal."
He also warned the Palestinians have a "long path" ahead.
"There are those who would put out obstacles," he told the crowd. "But with your presence they will fall and we will reach our end."
The 76-year-old leader asked the UN General Assembly in New York on Friday to recognize Palestinian independence, defying appeals from Israel and the United States to return to peace talks.

Leader's image transformed at home

The UN speech appears to have transformed the political currency of Abbas, as well as Palestinians' perceptions of their leader, a career bureaucrat and former official with the International Monetary Fund.
"He left here in many ways with very low expectations, and people saw him as rather boring, rather drab," Petricic said. "He came back something of a hero."
The Palestinians have applied for full UN membership as a state that includes the West Bank and Gaza, based on the 1967 boundaries, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Abbas's approach is to get global recognition for a Palestinian state and then negotiate the final details with Israel.
Israel accepts the idea of a Palestinian state, but not one based on the 1967 boundaries. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also called on Abbas and the Palestinians to recognize Israel as a Jewish state — a demand so far refused
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/09/25/palestinians-abbas-un.html

In my opinion, Palestinia should estalish as a country,according the history it is very obviously that Palestinia is being destroy and cut in another piecies by western country because of coldwar,UN must return the state , freedom,land to the Palestinia people ,Abbas is demanding at lease a resonable country rights , and land .

Victim sues Russell Williams, Ontario police for $7M

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2011/09/25/russell-williams-lawsuit.html

An Ontario woman who was bound and sexually assaulted by convicted killer Russell Williams has filed a $7-million lawsuit against the disgraced former base commander of CFB Trenton, his ex-wife and provincial police.
CBC News has obtained a copy of the statement of claim filed by Laurie Massicotte in the Superior Court of Justice on Friday for damages, including pain, suffering and emotional and mental distress stemming from her assault by Williams in September 2009.
Massicotte was Williams's second victim and has accused the Ontario Provincial Police of failing to protect her and give her enough information about a previous sexual assault in the town of Tweed.
In her statement of claim, Massicotte raises the spectre of another, as-yet-unreported third sexual assault victim, saying she was told by justice officials during Williams's trial that he committed two sexual assaults prior to the night he broke into Massicotte's home.
In the document, Massicotte describes being beaten, tied up at the wrists and blindfolded by Williams, who then sexually assaulted her and took several photographs and videos of her.
About five hours later, after Williams left her home, she managed to dial 911, only to be told not to move — her hands still bound — while police teams investigated for several more hours. She alleges during this time, she was referred to over the police radio as "being crazy."
Massicotte also alleges investigators told her neighbours that she was faking the attack and "copycatting" the earlier attack in the neighbourhood, which she said she wasn't aware of.
She also said she was never taken to the hospital, tested with a rape kit after the attack, or examined for DNA trace evidence. It was only at Williams's trial that she learned he had broken into her home two previous times before the night he assaulted her.
After 12 hours with investigators, she says an officer then apologized and told her a similar incident happened 12 days earlier just down the road from her and police did not warn the public.
In her statement of claim, Massicotte alleges investigators initially excluded Williams as a suspect "due to his position" as the senior military officer in charge of the nearby airbase, and allowed him to pass during surveillance of traffic coming and going from the main highway the day after she was attacked.
According to the document, Williams stopped his vehicle and asked a neighbour waiting for a bus what was going on at Massicotte's house.
In an email to CBC News on Sunday, Det. Insp. Chris Nicholas, the OPP's lead officer on the Williams case who was brought in long after Massicotte's assault, said he could not comment on the claims because of the civil proceedings.
The OPP have always maintained they were not aware of Williams's break-and-enters as they were not reported to police. However, they concede they did not warn the public about the sexual assault until after the second incident.

Victim attempted suicide, struggles with anxiety

Massicotte also alleges one of the local police officers whose daughter went to school with one of her daughters shared information about her assault improperly, and the information was disseminated at school and in the community verbally and by electronic means.
Since the attack, she says she has suffered from alcohol abuse, post-traumatic stress, chronic anxiety disorder and has attempted suicide, and that she and her daughters will require years of therapy to address their emotional and psychological distress.
Williams pleaded guilty to 88 charges and was sentenced last October to two terms of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years for the first-degree murders of Cpl. Marie-France Comeau and Jessica Lloyd.
The decorated former commander was also sentenced to 10 years for each of his two charges of sexual assault and two charges of forcible confinement. He was sentenced to one year for each of the other 82 lesser charges he faced.


In my point of view, Very clearly the police need to care the responsiblitiy of the social justice ,the victim was not being fully cared , trusted ,she was even never brought to the hospital for check after the attacked ,the victims are not being support by the society , which is a emergy thing that the society should do now , such as Massicotte says she has suffered from alcohol abuse, post-traumatic stress, chronic anxiety disorder and has attempted suicide, and that she and her daughters will require years of therapy to address their emotional and psychological distress.
