A hundred million gallons of oil was spilt into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the so-called Amazon Rainforest was deforested over the years in what we refer to now as the Amazon Desert. Big headlines are broadcasted all over the news, from Canada, to the United States, to China, to Italy, which brings devastating news everywhere, but what about, the small, yet critical causes happening at this moment? Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was elected prime minister of Canada this October, and received the title: Prime Minister on November the fourth. Nevertheless, I wont me uninteresting you ladies and gentlemen with information about the liberals, NDP or the green party.

    Andrew Nikiforuk 'Tarmageddon'

    War Measures Act

    At the time it has affected Canadians in Québec and especially for the prime minister Pierre Trudeau. First of all Québec did not become its own independent country, and the left wing parties lost a lot of support (Katlin, 2012). This Crisis was one of Canada's first real terrorist acts, it was also the first domestic use of the War Measures Act, which lead to the improved of the entire act. The government learnt more on how to prevent the same events from happening in the future because of the attack. Since the FLQ was a political-left wing party, the events of the Crisis caused many Canadians to lose support for the FLQ after the kidnappings and various attacks (Katlin, 2012). In addition, this was also one of Pierre Trudeau's well known accomplishments and he gained support from many Canadians for the way he handled the entire October Crisis. Trudeau also initiated the War Measures Act during the Crisis to help end it, which led to the creation of the Emergencies Act, which was a more limited and refined version of the War Measures Act (Katlin, 2012). The October Crisis benefitted Canada greatly. Much has changed since, and these events are seen as unfortunate aspects of history. We are in a new age, where we can find information more quickly and use the technology of surveillance to find evidence of crimes occurring. This is still a…

    Pros And Cons Of The Rainforest For The Agricultural Industry

    Angela your post provided me with knowledge I never had before. I agree with you entirely. I think getting rid of the rainforest for agricultural industry would be a terrible idea. The rainforest provides us with so much that no where else in the world does. Even if the rainforest did not provide the world with important resources and species it would still be an unfit location to have an agricultural industry like the United States because of the climate and amount of rain fall they receive. Amazing…

    Rainforestation Research Paper

    Rainforest store vast quantities of water but when deforestation happens, the stores water is lost. Since trees and plants are responsible for the extraction of groundwater from soil and then returning it back into the atmosphere where clouds are produced (transpiration), deforestation results in the water not being able to be released back into the atmosphere which affects the balance of water (transpiration rate decreases) . This may lead to dry climates which affects the living conditions of animals due to the lack of production for rainwater.…

    Latin America Pros And Cons

    Recently, we gave our comprehensive analysis of the Pro side of the April Public Forum resolution, Resolved: The continuation of current U.S. anti-drug policies in Latin America will do more harm than good. Today, we’re discussing the Con side, which, while slightly trickier, if done properly can be argued very persuasively. To recap, the pro’s argument is, essentially, that drugs are such an intractable and complex issue that any law enforcement-oriented solution is likely to simply escalate violence and jeopardize relationships with Latin American countries for minimal gain. Conversely, as we will discuss today, the con must argue that there are tangible benefits…

    Amazon Rainforest

    In the Amazon Rainforest, new research is being done that has completely changed the way that we now see the Amazon. European accounts from centuries ago, tell of large Amazonian cities all up and down its banks. This idea was thought to be untrue due to finding that the Amazon soils were not actually fertile at all. But, that idea is now being challenged, with the finding of, terra preta. The reason that I decided to choose this topic is because I think it needs much more attention than it is given. Until this class, I had zero knowledge of Native Americans living in the Amazon at all. Therefore, I choose this topic because it has gone through large amounts of change in recent years and deserves more concentration. Lastly, this topic both…

They say that the paper producing factory is responsible for 50% of all the wastes dumped into our countries water and also 5.6% of global air contaminations. Many of people have tried to shut down this paper factory because they use chemicals that could be a huge risk to human safety.

This problem is still continuing to this very day. This is important to Canada…

    Deforestation On The Amazon Rainforest Essay

    The worst impact deforestation has on the amazon rainforest is the loss of habitat for many important species. This has greatly impacted the habitats of species in the Amazon rainforest. There are about ten million species that have been discovered by man living on earth. More than half of these species live in tropical rainforests such as the Amazon. Many keystone species and apax predators have habitats in the Amazon. A keystone species is a species that has many important interactions within a community. They are responsible for supporting the community and their absence can cause trophies cascades. This means that without a keystone species, the entire community will fall apart because it will have nothing holding it together. An apax predator,…
