Canada is a developed country entering the mid-fourth stage in the demographic transition model, perceiving that Canada is well equipped with necessity and other necessary amendments. But could one natural disaster fracture the well-being of Canada? To begin, I would like to remind you of the flash flood that had occurred on July 8 of 2013, in many streets of Toronto, owing more than 850 Million in insurance claims. This natural disaster had come as a surprise to the residents of Toronto, and some state that it is a relatively rare occurrence for such a disaster to occur. I believe that the natural disaster had initially been a wake up call for Toronto’s infrastructure, as the water had taken almost 3 days to completely drain into storm water …show more content…
Another method used to aid in the notification of a flash flood, works by accurately predicting fluctuating weather and successfully preparing the city to undertake precautions and other preparatory exercises, in hopes of minimizing potential damage. Currently, many buildings are being reinforced with much more flexible and stronger elements, that can withstand very strong winds or high magnitude earthquakes. Primarily, Carbon-tubes are undergoing various standardized tests in order to be implemented in future construction projects, since they are very lightweight, durable, and are far more stronger than steel. Carbon-Tubes are well known for their extraordinary thermal conductivity, mechanical and electrical properties. These properties are generally the ones that abide with a suitable material for use in construction and other mechanical engineering. Seemingly, this will aid and encourage the building of condominiums or apartment buildings, since they are most likely to withstand natural disasters that are prone to happen in select
Imagine not having the government on your side, not being able to fit in with the people around you. Imagine going through slavery. Not being able to go to the same school as the person who lived across the street from you. That would be horrible right? Imagine not having the same equity as someone who is no better than you in anyway. What if its only because of your race? What is you had a community where you finally feel safe and you have family and friends that live all around you, but still not in the best living environment. Then Imagine having that all taken away from you and not having anywhere to go and cannot say anything to stop it. The Government of Nova Scotia impacted residents of Africville in a negative way. The city placed a dump in their community and left them in an unhealthy living environment, forced many people to leave family and friends, and left everyone with only memories good and bad.

The Day of the Dead or Dia de Los Muertos, is an ancient festivity that has been transformed throughout the years, and was originated in Mexico. But now these celebrations occur in many countries: South America, Europe, Asia, and various states of the United States. Día de los Muertos is a day of commemoration an opportunity for individuals to come together to focus on their loved ones who have passed away, and to honor, revere, and celebrate their memory. It is a time when families remember their dead and the continuity of life.

Once upon a time there was a brilliant Portuguese man that started a party throwing water, eggs and flour on others, and some years later it would happen “The Carnaval”, our greatest Holiday. According to “Sua Pesquisa”, a Brazilian website, it all started during Portuguese Shrovetide, where they threw these things. It used to happen before the Lenten season, that had a freedom meaning, and this freedom is present until now on our famous and more antecipated holiday.
Anyone would agree that 115 years is a long time. Considering that the Australian flag that we know and love today has been around around for that long, we can all agree it is time for a change. Good Morning Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull and notable guests, today I stand in front of you to show you my vision for a more updated version of the Australian flag.

Canada as a country has a lot going for it. A high GNP, and high per capita income in international terms.... ... middle of paper ... ... With all the focus being on becoming a sovereign nation, the citizens are suffering.

There is no arguing Walt Disney practiced what he preached. In fact, he did what he did so well that people continue to bring others to see what he did to this day, that being Disneyland. First, we’ll start by learning about the background history of Disneyland. Next, we’ll compare Disneyland from when it first started to what it has developed into. And finally, we’ll explore all the eight parks and what they have to offer.
Thanks for commenting. I agree with many of you points, however I do not believe that immigrants are taking the jobs of able Americans. Farm work, gardening, and other labor intensive jobs are not be filled by U.S. citizens (possibly having to do with low wages), so why would it be an issue if these immigrants decided to work in these fields? In addition to this, refugees can create their own businesses, so this doesn’t necessarily take jobs away from American workers. Unfortuanely there are many unemployed Americans, however in many cases, it is a matter of multiple applications and having the right skills. If people are not qualified for the job, then obviously it should be given to someone with the proper credentials. If immigrants have these skills then why wouldn’t a company want to hire them, versus someone who is lacking the specific background and or education?
As a result from extreme hard work and perseverance followed by an unmatchable drive to succeed, Donald J. Trump has earned the right to be known as a multi-billionaire, real estate icon, and President of the United States of America. Reflecting on his life, he has faced many challenges and overcame them all. To understand how he rose to success and his journey to the top of the kingpin, it is important to recognize how he saw the american dream and pursued it. Today, many recognize him as the president but very few can fully grasp all that he has done in his life. From his start as a real estate mogul, to his impact on media, there are many questions as to how he became so recognizable today.
Australia Day, celebrated on the 26th of January every year, is a nationally recognised day that signifies the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet. It’s a historic event that also marks the beginning of the oppression of the Indigenous people, that still can occur today, no matter how much the Government has tried to atone for the sins of the past. Australia Day is a day of celebration and mourning, a fact that contributes to the constant bickering between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous. There are many who believe that the meaning behind the modern Australia Day is overshadowed by the past, which will prevent the nation from moving forward, much like Ben Roberts-Smith who published an opinion piece in the Herald Sun on the 26th
Speaker Credibility: Has anyone seen the Documentary film called “An Inconvenient Truth”? I was amazed at how the earth was rapidly changing for the worse. This is why I choose this topic, to learn more about climate changes and inform everyone here about the climate change.
Hello everyone! Today I will be speaking about global warming but before I begin, how many of you believe that global warming exists and that the human population is the primary cause of global warming? I ask this because there are people who believe that global warming does not exist or that it’s “a hoax created by China”. But that’s not true and global warming is in fact one of the biggest problems facing the world today. There is a significant amount of negative effects for the environment and for all living beings due to global warming. And maybe some of you are not be interested in global warming, but the truth is, global warming is a big part of our world and it affects each and every one of us.
