The internet is a big part of our lives nowadays, but is it a ‘human right’? That’s a good question, especially considering job searching and education.
This could potentially be one of the saddest stories I’ve research. Attawapiskat has declared a state of emergency, but has been dealing with various issues for the last decade. From lack of housing to lack of mental health resources, this is an incredibly important issue.
After the Brussels attack, Ted Cruz proposed patrolling and securing Muslim neighborhoods. It sounded like something taken from a history book, but is it something that Republicans would historically do? Let’s find out!
Stephane Dion made two major foreign policy announcements in the past coming days: one on North Korea and one of Saudi Arabia.
According to the National Newswatch, Dion condemned the announcement that North Korea tested a hydrogen bomb. On the other hand, the Canada-Saudi Arabia Arms Deal is still going through despite the executions that took place early January.

After the Paris attacks, countries involved in the coalition have decided to increase their airstrike campaigns. But is this really the best way?
