Nations for their cooperation. (Salomons, 2009) The people of the Stoney Point tribe were promised their land would be returned to them but even long after the war ended and the world moved forward, the land now known as “Camp Ipperwash” was occupied by the government. This is where the situation becomes violent and where I, as a resident of Ipperwash Beach, find myself unsettled and in disbelief. On September 4th 1995, approximately thirty members of the band, accompanied by children, stormed the land in protest. (Salomons, 2009) They originally planned a peaceful protest but what started out as an innocent practice of human rights turned into something problematic for Canada in the years to come. (Salomons, 2009) The then premier, Mike Harris, wanted the protest dealt with quickly and quietly. On September 6th 1995, the Ontario Provincial Police came onto the land during a night raid, which ended in blood spilt and tears shed. During the raid, an unarmed Ojibwa man, Dudley George, was shot dead by an OPP sniper. (Salomons, 2009) It was then know that this sacred land would never be the same again. Dudley George was the first Indigenous man to be killed in a land rights dispute in Canada since the nineteenth century. (Lindin, 2007) The death of George forced Canadians to look further into the rising issues with Aboriginal racism and inequalities in Canada. The Canadian government went under extreme scrutiny as the death was seen as an important public policy issue,…

Prosecutor Mike Nifong 's actions in this case were criminal. Nifong used the public press of this case to attempt to further his career and only presented evidence that was beneficial to his agenda. This is an example of criminal mind because he went against ethical morals. Another conclusion that can be seen about criminals is that they are liars. For example, Nifong withheld the DNA tests to his advantage. Another example of criminal behavior is that they are controlling. Nifong attempted to…

It’s five o’clock. My left eye opens. I feel just great! I’m ready to hop out of bed and go on my daily five mile jog. I should probably eat my very favorite Cascadian Farm Granola Cereal first though, to provide some energy for my exceptionally fit body. As I get ready to throw off my covers, all the sudden I hear a repulsive gurgling sound, then I realize it is my own laughter, a result of the amusement I find in my own sarcasm. Even after a full night’s sleep, I feel groggy. Limbs aching…

This surreal problem happened to Charlie in the short story, “Babylon Revisited” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Giants take in” (qtd. in Strachan). The universities are spending more money on their coaches than professional teams, and the talent is not the same. The schools can cut the salary of their coaches and that money can be used to pay the players. Jahlil Okafor was the freshman starting center for the 2015 National Champion Duke Blue Devils. He was arguably the best player on the team and one of the main reasons the team won the National Championship. He was so skilled that he was drafted…
