Dollar closes above U.S. greenback

Since November, 1976, Canadian dollar has never been closed above parity

with U.S dollar. However, now 2007, it has closing up two thirds of a cent at 1.0052(U.S.).

According to the Global currency strategist at JP . Morgan in New York said Canadian dollar is

used more than another as a proxy for oil and when oil prices rise, anyone that want to bet on oil

and does not want to play the commodity market turns to the Canadian dollar. Soaring oil and

gas prices have bolstered Canada’s economy and currency in recent years, leading the loonie to

be dubbed the petro currency. Canadian loonie has increased 6.4 per cent in the third quarter of

this year and more than 5 per cent this month. On the other hand, U.S economy is argent that

interest rates again to prop up the ailing U.S. This Canadian dollar currency that is increasing

currently. This proves that Canada is developing and becoming a strong economy country.

Canada was always behind the U.S. for a long time. But, now I think its time to show the power

that Canada got to other country. However, it will be not benefit to people who exchange money

to Canadian dollar because the exchanging Canadian currency is so high.

Another Canadian minority likely: Harper

Possibility 'looms high,' PM tells U.S. foreign policy groupPossibility 'looms high,' PM tells U.S. foreign policy group -

The Prime Minister Stephen Harper addressed that he is confidence with vote that

will happen on October 16th to Council on Foreign Relations. This vote is about

confederationvote from each minority government. He guaranteed that he will have most vote

because he is the prime minister but not close to

half of the vote. On the other hand, Liberal MP

Scott Brian criticize Stephen Harper that he is

leading country to wrong way that Americans

shouldn’t be turning their backs on Colombia by

blocking a free tread deal with that country


which Liberal party disagree with fact that Colombia need its democratic friends to lean forward

and give them the chance at partnership and trade with North America. In my opinion, Harper

is trying to make his party win the election by fact that he had a power as a Prime Minister of

Canada. This minority election should be fare to another politician. Also, we need to realize that

if Harper acts what he promised to the country.

Kyoto protocol. Harper basically on the opposite side of Kyoto protocol. He developed nations

reduction targets and developing countries such as India and china, do not. Also, Mr. Harper

“Climate change is perhaps the biggest

environmental threat faced by our planet today,

Girls study harder than boys, says StatsCan

Until 21st century, going to university, get a job, and being householder was

men’s roles. However, it is quickly changing to the opposite. According to the Statscan( statistics

Canada), a new study makes a gap differences of academic performance average 15 years old

which young women study hard than young men. Men’s poor academic performance almost

reach 50% and young men has much lower average of age 15 than young women. They say that

reasons that young women study harder than young men is because they have different

characteristics. Moreover, men have less time spending on homework than women. I believe

that Men could do much better and reasons that women are becoming powerful is because that

women are showing that they can do anything. For example, it was a men's job to work and feed

the family about 100 Years ago and women's job was to stay home to clean, cook and raise

children. However, now they are trying to make it opposite and women are becoming very

powerful to our society. Therefore, men should work hard and try not to lose men's right.

Afghans can't stand on own by 2009, Karzai tells Canadians

Afgan President Hamid Karzai has announced that Afgan cannot protect them



from Taliban its own. So he want Canadian Army to continue to fight with Taliban. Alos, he



mention Quebecers that they are continue to fight southern Afgahanistan because they are



making a world safer. On the other hand, Canadian prime

Minister Stephen Harper Prime said



the current mission would continue only if his minority goverment

could get a consensus in



Parilament. In my opinion, Stephen Harper should continue to


fight with Taliban because we could protect the Canadian citizens


from Taliban. However, Canada should not fight with Taliban just


because of protecting Afgan.

Should your daughter get the HPV vaccine?

In most of Canada, Vaccine program is controversial. This article is about

the HPV Vaccine that most of the girls have to get to prevent cancers. It it usually young girls

who gets this Vaccine, including Ontario, PEI, Nova scotia and Newfoundland have this Vaccine

program. However, rest of the province did not decide whether they are going to have Vaccine

program or not. On the other hand, If you get this Vaccine later when children grew it will be

much expensive. It cost about $400 when you get after the certain age. When school provide

this prgram, it is free. I believe that every girl in Canada should get this Vaccine because this

Vaccine does not harm you, it helps you to prevent Cancer. Moverover, All parents should agree

on this Prgram if they really think about their children. It save children's life, money, and family

conservation.

How cancer research dollars are spent.

According to Canadian Caner Research Alliance, the money that was funraised or

donated are used for different kinds of research. There are used for bolstering prevention,

improving treatment, trying to unravel the biology and etiology and understand

survivorship. The money that were invested was divide into certain percentage to use there

certain categories. Moreover, the money is used for ingrastructure and equipment and salaries.

Total 3,260 research studies were catelogued. About 200 related diseases characterized by

uncontrolled cell growth including lung cancer, colorectal caner and breast cancer. National

Cancer Institute of Canada estimated that 159,900 Canadians will be diagnosed with caner and

72,700 will die.

I always wonder that where all the donated and fundraised money will go to. I

remember that i said this money will not go to cancer and it will go to polician's pocket. Now,

I'am very confident about donating money to the chairy or association that refers to cancer. I

strongly agree that people should do more of donation through the assocation, this will make our
society better, and to reduce nuber of death. I hope that all the invested money will go to the

people who needs it.

Injured Canadian soldiers back on duty after weekend attack

Currenty, there are many Canadian soilders in Afganistan, mostly in kadahar region

to fight for the regions that is under controled by Taliban. On Sunday the tank was attacked by

shrapnel which soldiers were slightly injured from it. Furthermore, the vehicle that Canadian

press reporter and soldier were in hit the roadside bomb. However, these two incident did not

cause any death or serious injuries. On the other

hand, offensive was a success. Around 2500

Canadian soldier was into Afganistan to fight

against Taliban and seventy Canadian soldier

died for last 6 years. I strongly believe that too

many Canadian civilian was joined to this war

and that will cause a lot of deadth and injuries.

To reduce this death or injuries, Canada should

limit the soldier to sent to Afganistan. Moreover, Canada should look forward to use budgets

more to medical care, Education, and region development. Therefore, Canada should reduce the

number of soldiers to join this war.
