    I am now going to go through all the facts of this case and my come to my own conclusion. The plaintiff, Big M Drug Mart violated the Lord’s Day Act and challenged the law. The plaintiff claim that the act violated section 2a because the act forced all peoples of Canada to participate in a Christian tradition when the charter states that all Canadians have the freedom of religion. Not only that the Lord’s Day Act was stated to have no valid purpose other than to protect the sanctity of the Christian Sunday sabbath. Also section 27 enforces multiculturalism and thus only celebrating a Christian tradition violates this as well.…

    The first thing to take into account is the fact that healthcare accounts for approximately 6% of the U.S. economy. The Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, or other unsavory names is actually in my mind making the medical field and the availability of care for patients more difficult. Regardless of its benefits to some patients, the Obamacare is making things much more difficult for doctors, nurses and anyone in medicine. It has done nothing but increase paperwork and costs, and has done nothing to increase the quality of care.…

    Obamacare has recently become a poison to the American people like a TV ad. Americans have signed up for this “healthcare program” without reading the fine print. They do not realize that Obamacare does not really give people healthcare. It actually taxes people who do not have insurance.

Barack Obama, our forty fourth president proposed a new health care act, The Affordable Care Act or “Obamacare” shortly after he became elected.

    Health care reform is one of the most controversial topics in the United States because so many people in the country cannot afford health care or may not have the right amount of coverage for certain conditions. The health care system is flawed in that it produces financial and political displeasure in Americans because of expensive plans and rejection of Medicaid expansion to politically break the Affordable Care Act (“ObamaCare”). Health care reform would be a positive change in this country because it will improve the issues of unreliable health insurance plans, the absence of healthcare awareness educators, and expensive healthcare for seniors. By the year 2015, it will be mandatory that all citizens of the United States have health insurance…

    Healthcare should be free because some people can not pay for a visit. Someone can be really ill and need a trip to the doctors but it is expensive to pay for it. There are times i’ve seen where adults and/or children have been in car accidents and those people result in being hurt. It is not those people’s fault that someone else caused an accident and so therefore there should be healthcare for those type of people who aren’t really the cause of an injury. If people have and can afford health care then those people have a better chance to be living their lives healthier knowing that they get checked up and there is really nothing to worry about.…

    Over the years, the idea about legalizing drugs has always been a discussion. Although we use the general term, there was no specific type of “drug” mentioned in these arguments. It is obvious that some are more harmful than others, but overall, each drug could be as addicting than any other. There are many different drugs that have different effects. In my opinion, man-made stimulant drugs seem to cause more harm to their users more than “natural” drugs such as cannabis.…

Other people say that the laws that are being enforced now are good to control drugs. “There will also be more unpublicized fatal and maiming crashes, more job accidents, more child neglect, more of everything associated with substance abuse”(M. Kendrecke).…

    Major companies in many different sectors all support, and spend money lobbying for, the continued criminalization of drugs. The continued criminalization of drugs is critical to the drug war, and includes strict punishments and sentences for those convicted of crimes involving drugs. It has been shown that groups such as private prisons, and prison guard unions lobby for strict punishments to increase incarceration, and reap the profits. These company’s contributions promote the war on drugs, by giving the state no incentive to scale back their policies. What many fail to realize, however, is the impact the war on drugs and subsequent policies has internationally.…
