The Pros And Cons Of The Liberals
Despite the Liberals horrific results in the 2018 provincial election, if given the chance, I would still vote for them. This central-left political party led by Kathleen Wynne had been in power in Ontario for over 15 years. Kathleen Wynne is the first female premier of Ontario and the first openly LGBT premier in Canada. She was first elected to public office as a Toronto District School Board Trustee in 2000. She subsequently was elected to the Provincial Legislature in 2003. To begin, the Liberals are very passionate about legalizing marijuana this summer and they plan to regulate the sales through the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation. I strongly agree with the Liberals in this issue because Canada’s current system of marijuana prohibition does not work. Whether or not it gets legalized, people are going …show more content…
The Liberals said that they would spend $1.7 billion over three years to support energy-saving programs under the Green Ontario Fund. Not only does the Green Ontario Fund allow citizens to fight climate change, but it also helps them save money by reducing energy costs. The Liberals are setting a good example for Ontarians because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if we have a strong economy or universal healthcare, if there is no home for us to live in. Furthermore, the Liberals plan to make daycare free for children aged 2-and-a-half until they are eligible for kindergarten. This move is part of a $2.2-billion investment to expand access to licensed childcare for families. According to CBC, studies have found that fewer than 25% of Ontario families can afford full-day licensed care for their children. By making childcare free, it allows parents to work and save their money to support their family. Enrolling in an educational daycare will also prepare children for school so that they have a better idea of what is expected of them and how they should behave around

    Trump took the Presidential race by a storm instantly gaining supporters from across the nation. However, his strategy was like no other presidential candidate in history. Fearless and bold, President Trump fueled the racism and sexism of America becoming the talk of every community. Yet, some despised him hypocrisy, much more rejoiced his authenticity. He was not a politician nor did he spend decades working in Washington, but he a blatantly honest billionaire who had conquered the business world. Unfortunate for Trump, since his term began in January, he has finally realized that he needs actual political knowledge to govern the nation, a thought that had never crossed his mind. Due to his lack of common sense and education, Trump has unraveled…

    The 2016 presidential election will take place this November and with it brings a sense of renewal for some, and dread for others. Elections generate lots of hype, particularly because having a new president in office is generally exciting due to the ‘new’ factor. The excitement varies from good to bad, and this pattern is pretty consistent with past elections. There are certain outliers, however. One of the more recent elections, the election of 2000, caused a massive controversy, predominantly due to the circumstances surrounding how popular votes and electoral votes were counted. The presidential candidates came down to Al Gore and George W. Bush. This election served as a reminder to many that having the popular vote does not necessarily…

    Since 2004 all children in the UK aged three and four years old have been entitled to free places at nursery preschool in an OFSTED inspected setting which is found to be satisfactory or better. From 1st September 2010 the Government extended these hours from 12.5 to 15 hours for up to 38 weeks of the year. The free entitlement provides universal access to early childhood education and care, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to benefit from early years education. The extended hours also supports parents who wish to go back to work or develop their careers through further education by providing affordable day care. In September 2010 the government announced that children at the age of two from families who met the criteria for free school meals could also benefit from from free child care a year early. From September 2014, the number of early learning places for two year olds will be extended to around 260,000. This is to allow more parents to take advantage of the scheme, already used by more than 800,000 three and four year olds.…

    Party platforms are the foundation upon which political parties base their campaigns for the purposes of winning a political contest. It true that to a greater extent, not all aspects of the platform are used in campaigns given that some may be controversial hence working against the candidates or the party itself (Daniel D and James W, 2016). In concurrence with the opinion that it is only the party liberals who articulate the party platforms given that they are the drafters and by large they have taken a position to stand with their respective parties, this paper seeks to raise no objection to that. Many have argued that political parties only serve as vehicles to positions of leadership and for that reason politician or rather those seeking…

    When Obama was elected, he inherited the issue of the economic crisis from the Bush presidency. Unfortunately, he had to solve this issue before moving into some of the promises he had made to the American people during his campaign. Some of the decisions he made just to lighten the blow of the economic crisis were somewhat contradicting to his initial promises. Although Obama knew of the upcoming battle he had to face with the economic crisis, he made grand promises to the public, promises such as when he is elected he will change the world, cure cancer, increase graduation rate, create millions of new jobs, and tackle the issue of global warming. These promises created unrealistic expectations amongst the voters. But these expectations are…

    Trudeau’s methods are unconventional but the most canadians only care about differing from the ways of former prime minister; stephen harper and the Progressive Conservative party.

We don’t have to look far to find recreational marijuana abuse in canada, even though this is still illegal. Plans have already been set in motion for the federal government to legalize marijuana with the hopes…

    When Canadians hear the word cannabis, they don‘t associate it with images of junkies zonked out on the street corners, simply because marijuana‘s impact on society has not been disastrous. “There is very little evidence that smoking marijuana as a means of taking it represents a significant health risk. Although, cannabis has been smoked widely in Western countries for more than four decades, there have been no reported cases of lung cancer or emphysema attributed to marijuana,” states Lester Grinspoon, a medical doctor. Over 70% of Canadian’s approve of the decriminalization of marijuana. Legalizing marijuana, growing hemp, producing it’s products, supporting research and development into it’s many uses, cutting down the pollution and deforestation levels to well below Kyoto’s meager demand, I wouldn’t see why any Canadian would vote against it’s decriminalization.…

    Berry Brazelton and Stanley I. Greenspan said no to institutional child care. The big issue they believe is that the child would not be recieving high-quality day-care facilities that will better their children. They believe that children should have a pernament adult they are spending most of their time with growing up in the early stages of the children’s lives. While enrolled in a day-care facility, many times they have workers coming and going and the child nevergets a special connection with one of the caregivers. An example would be when a parent comes into the room. The children usually all flood to the parent even if its not that specific child’s mother. That loving, mother-like feeling they get they can’t recieve from just a random worker. In order for them to believe that child-care would be beneficial for the child they believe that: In the first three years of a childs life they should have the same caregiver, there should be no time (other than sleeping) that the children should be out of the caregivers sight, independent activities should be no longer than 15 minutes, and recommend that a parent should have the child during the critical times during the…

    Marijuana is currently a hot topic of debate throughout Canada, and has been for the past few years. Marijuana was first banned in 1923 under the Opium and Drug Act, but since 1997 the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act have controlled it. In 2000, over 30,000 Canadians were charged with possession of marijuana. Currently, the marijuana laws are not enforced equally across the country, which has prompted the interest in changing the laws or possibly decriminalizing marijuana. Also, those convicted of marijuana related crimes usually don't go to jail, but they do receive a criminal record.…
