46,000 hands. 46,000 feet. 23,000 stomachs. 23,000 lives. These numbers represent the people in Washington State who on any given night will not have a home (Helping Hand House). Their stomachs will be left unfed. Their hands and feet will be left cold. They have nowhere to go. While we tuck ourselves into our beds or contemplate what snack to eat next, 23,000 people--adults and children alike--will be on the streets.

Should Canada Break Up? In my opinion, I don’t think Canada should break up. Canada is composed of many regions such as the North, Central Canada, Atlantic Canada and the West. Each region brings challenges for Canada, but I think those challenges can be resolved as a whole. In the North, there are many challenges posed by being part of the confederation.
