I’m a political science major and I suppose before embarking on a final three weeks of essays filled with research I’ve been working on for the past few years about how effective the war on terror has been I should discuss some issues that have caught my eye as of late.
I am really impressed with the provincial NDPs decision to elect Andrea Howarth as leader. She was originally a MPP here in Hamilton and I have worked personally with her on a bill regarding harassment in the workplace. She was nothing but professional and supportive. I am not a feminist by any means but one of the reasons I voted for the NDP in the last provincial election was the amount of female candidates that they had. They do a good job at representing women in the political sphere and at this point in time they fact that the other major parties lack in this category .
The closing of Stelco in Hamilton is still something that I cannot wrap my head around. Can this be put back on Obamas Buy America policy? US Steel did buy the plant for 1 billion dollars. Hamilton has been shook to its core and the effects are going to be felt for a lonnnnnnnng time to come.
Sara pointed out the over abundance of clothing in the malls as of late covered in peace signs and I said to her, “it’s because we’re living in an Obama era now, it’s all about peace post Bush”
Anth reminded me how good propaghandi are and the new album is just as good as their older stuff. I highly suggest checking them out.
……..back to the paper I go.
I mean really who wouldn't want to write variations of the same paper over and over again?
