Who said rebellions?

There were problems in Upper Canada, political. Settlers in Upper Canada were discontent about land distribution. For the most part about the clergy and crown reserves, the land speculators that were part of the Family Compact, and absentee landlords that overpriced and tied up prime land. The settlers were also unhappy about the building of the roadways. William Lyon Mackenzie was a radical reformer with strong beliefs, he bought a newspaper called The Colonial Advocate. He wrote an article about the government and Family Compact. As an outcome his office was investigated and trashed my members of the Family Compact. So Mackenzie sued. Later he was elected and the leader of the reform governement. In Lower Canada though, the problems were much more serious.

Killer Fog of 1952...

     The Killer Fog of 1952 took place in London, England on December 5th and was an environmental disaster that took up to 12 000 lives within approximately a week. The Fog affected many and left just as quickly as it came. In the beginning though 900 lives were taken per day. London seems to have a history of having a thick smog in the heart of the city- in other years the smog tended to be worse in winter months do to the burning of coal for heat. The fog of 1952 was a combination of Carbon dioxide, hydrochloric acid, fluorine compounds and sulphuric acid that clung to water particles in the air to form the deadly fog. Problems were further compounded by the anticyclone hanging over London - which is a system of rotating winds that pushed air downwards and trapped the smoke over the city thus  preventing it from disappearing. The first victims of the Killer Fog were young children, elderly, and the weak or already ill people of London.  The citizens of London were still feeling the affects of the fog even after it left and people were still dieing. Now, 50 years later the Killer fog of 1952 is known as the most fatal environmental story EVER!

Candian Identity Test.

I am a Canadian citizen and I feel that the fact that I am a polite and very accepting person makes me Canadian. Ever since I was young I have been raised with a very well-mannered family, and that has been passed on to me. I am proud to be Canadian because I know that Canadians are multicultural, have beautiful scenery, Canada is a safe place, and we have great education. If we are talking about stereotypes then I can defiantly refer to my use of the word "eh" in my vocabulary. My canadian-ness is shown in my daily life in a few different ways. Some examples would be when I go for a walk or am just out in the public, I and other citizens say hello to each other as we pass. We are friendly people and will strike up a conversation whenever possible. When I see somebody struggling to do something, I will gladly come over and give the person help. Canada is the home of respectful people and I can proudly say, I am Canadian :)
