Reaction to "Tories unveil crime bill, but not the costs"

You'd think we live in the most crime driven country in the world, but we don't. Crime is at it's lowest in 40 years and yet we are spending MORE money on crime. This makes no sense. In 2006 Canada spent 1.6 billion on "crime". With this bill passing we will be spending 3 billion annually. Maybe when they were deciding how to get out of deficit they smoked a little of that "Horrible" pot to come up with their plan. The conservatives "Tough on Crime" stance is almost laughable. It's more like tough on smoking pot and some vandalism, but that's just my humble opinion.

The absolutely true diary of a part-time indian

The kid in the story faces many challenges in life. One of which is extreme poverty. He can't afford to save his dog when he was sick. He was also born with too much cerebral spinal fluid. He had a lisp and stuttered. He was bullied and called names. He was really skinny and had a big skull. He would go days of being hungry. He has no hope of a future.
