Our last election, Justin Trudeau had been elected as prime minister for Canada. I was curious how the Trudeau government has changed Canada, because I think it can help people make up their minds for who to vote for. I am hoping this helps people in the long run. Once again, we are to put our votes together to vote for another party that has more promises, but what has Trudeau accomplished since he was in power?

It had been a very regular day at school, the bus as usual came late, and as usual threw me into a frenzy of anxiety, hoping I could get to class on time. I made a quick stop by my locker, changed into my scrubs, and I was rushing off to class when I noticed the door was still locked and the room was dark. I checked my watch, this was not the first time the prof was late and a few of my classmates were outside the class urgently studying. One of them perked up and said "Class is canceled."

Post-secondary education is important for anyone to get a job. If you do not have post-secondary education, then you might as well not work anywhere. University and college are expensive. You pay for the tuition fees, you pay for the textbooks; even the ones you use once in class, even though your prof told you, you will be using them everyday. And in the end you are paying roughly 2,500-5,000 a semester just to get a mediocre office job. But here is an idea, which I believe should be implemented; for every class canceled, you should get your money back. The argument could be, but then what do they pay the professors. I am sure the school you attend has enough funding to take care of that. For example the semester I paid for is an estimated 2,500 dollars. Each class costs around 500 dollars. The amount of hours spent in the classroom is 45 hours all together for one semester that is about $11.11 per class, which all things considering is not that much, so the school could give back your money for that canceled class, without experiencing any sort of bankruptcy, because there will always be more students attending school, especially now that many people are going back to school as well. Right now my class has been canceled three times, so I would be getting around 30 dollars back. It would be a way for students to not be broke when school is done. Students would be able to quit their part-time jobs to actually work on their homework, rather than going to work and school at the same time. it would be a stress reliever for some students. Other students maybe would not benefit from it as much, because they rent apartments or live in residency and need to pay rent, but with that extra pocket money students could afford better groceries once in a while. That would be a fair way to pay for a better education for getting a higher quality of life.

It's October, and there are a few things that will not change about Canada. One is that snow is expected, two is that Halloween will come, three is that people forget how to drive when the snow falls. The one thing that will change is the fact that we have elections coming up pretty quick here, so I need to decide who to vote for, so it's time to bring in the candidates.

Recently, I have started watching Suits again. For those who have not seen a single episode of Suits it is about a law firm that hires a fraud as a lawyer and they knowingly did so. The reason that Mike Ross was hired was because Harvey Spector has never seen an associate know so much about the law, but of course Mike Ross has a photographic memory. Anyways, Harvey has the best assistant in the world. Donna knows the details of everyone and everything that goes around the office. She can be portrayed as an icon of feminism. Harvey is one of the best lawyers in the city and Donna is the equivalent of him. She is fiercely loyal to Harvey and sometimes she does have clouded judgement when it comes to him, but it happens rarely. Donna is often the glue that holds everyone together, and she gives the great advice even when it is not asked. Donna does her job and does it well. She also has the confidence that any woman should have, and her outfits are simply amazing.

Environmental issues are now blowing up your social media page. If you have not seen Greta Thunberg, then you, my friend, must be living underneath a rock. She wants to make a change to our planet because if we could live just a little longer, that would be great. Now, for some people, they believe that no matter what they do the planet will die anyway, but you should at least try. So, I have compiled a list of helpful things to do to minimize the use of single use plastics.
