The Canadian Judicial System
Three branches of government work together to govern the country of Canada: the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches. The executive branch is the decision-making branch to which the Crown entrusts executive authority. The Head of State or the Monarch is represented in Canada by the Governor-General. The Prime Minister and members of the Cabinet aid the Governor-General by advising on governing the country. People appointed into the Senate and people elected to the House of Commons make up the legislative branch, the law-making branch. The Senate is composed of 105 senators appointed by the Governor-General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The senators represent Canada's regions, provinces, and territories. Canadians elect the members of the House of Commons to represent defined electoral districts. Currently, 338 seats in the House of Commons belong to different political parties. The number of seats that the party holds determines whether the House of Commons is a majority or minority government (HCC). The judiciary branch involves the Supreme Court of Canada, federal courts, and provincial courts of Canada. The Supreme Court of Canada is taken care of by nine judges appointed by the Governor-General (IRCC). Each provincial government appoints judges for provincial and territorial courts that it belongs to (DOJ).

Loose Leaves Of Family Trees
St. Johnsbury, Vermont was a town filled with strange people. The middle school kids had names for some of them in particular. There was Mr. Mini, who was a regular at the local drug store. He would come in every other day and buy a large Hershey’s bar and pick up his prescription, the top of his head just reaching the counter top. Near that same drug store, was a stoop where the bearded lady sat everyday and smoked. She didn’t have a beard really, only a few goatee hairs strangling from her chin upon chins, but they were quite long. You saw Rockin Rick near the movie theatre, a washed up groupie in leather who chased you down to sell you his new EP. Big Red, who wasn’t really strange, he was just big, and would catch your eye with his long flowing red hair. He would usually pass the town’s Dunkin Donuts, which was a well-known place to get free donuts or cocaine, but only after eleven. Amongst many others, like High-pockets, Floyd, Monkey and even Wes, there was Ghost.

Not an Ordinary Love Story
*Flatline sound* He's gone before I arrive, before I can tell him I love him. This person who once was my fiancé has left me with no warning. How is it a man so healthy just collapses and passes away? How am I expected to walk into that room and say my final good-bye? I don't want the last image of him to be his body just laying lifeless in the bed, but at the same time I don't want to leave his body alone.
