I am so grateful that we live in Canada where for the most part, we don't live in fear. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I've been reading the Speroway blog as well. It has really opened my eyes to how fortunate we are to live in Canada. In today's Globe and Mail there was an article about a school in Africa where the entire class of 30 children had to share 1 pencil. But even in Canada, life isn't always fair as there was another article about how we treat our native people and how it was the wish of 1 teenager to have the government provide a better education on the reserves. The Ontario government gives the "white" schools more money than the "Indian Schools" and this 13 yr. old teenager set about to change all that. Unfortunately she was killed in a car accident but her friends and family took up her cause and as a result, the government has consented to building a new school in her community.Omahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11286799452430504370noreply@blogger.com
