Stand up for Canada
" Stand up for Canada" wasn't that Mr. Harpers punch line in hes advertisments in the election well i think it is time for Canadians to stand up for our selfs. I'm talking about our goverments in the past and present how nothing is being done other then the rising of taxes. When will you not have to wait an hour in the emergency room cause the staff is short?. When will universitys and colleges have a tuition cap like the NHL has for there club?. When will gas go down?
If your a pround Canadian like I think these questions should also be a concer to you and your family.
To Priminister Harper:
I am a pround Canadian voter and suporter of Canada and even tho i did not vote for you or your party this past election I have some concers. I would like to know where you plane on going with our health care system. As long as i can remeber health care has always been privded by the goverment. I am also noticing that when one diels 911 and the paramdics show up 2 weeks later after you heart attack you geta bill in the male for use of emergency sevices that should be provided by the goverment. I'm also a mature student and have finished my studies for the time being. I was wondering when and why arn't secondary schools aloud to charge as much as they want for classes because of lacking of funding and when will you put a cap on tuition? these are some of the questions i have for you as a concerned canadian. I love Canada with all my heart but it doesn't help me sleep at night knowing that sice you have been in pwer things are and will go to hell.
sincerly yours,
A concerned candian

Hope you Enjoy

soot-filled mucus, the feeling of intense heat through your turnout
gear, the sound of flames crackling, the eeriness of being able to see
absolutely nothing in dense smoke-sensations that I've become too
familiar with.

wrong with the patient? Is it minor or life threatening? Is the caller
really in distress or is he waiting for us with a 2x4 or a gun?

the beautiful five-year old girl that I have been trying to save during
the past 25 minutes, knowing she will never go on her first date or say
the words, "I love you Mommy", ever again.

"It took you forever to get here!"

no one answers back or to here a bone chilling 911 call of a child or
wife needing assistance.

attitudes of "It will never happen to me".

missed meals, lost sleep and forgone social activities, in addition to
all the tragedy my eyes have seen.

save a life or preserving someone's property, or being able to be there
in time of crisis, or creating order from total chaos.

>I wish you could understand what it feels like to have a little boy
tugging at your arm and asking, "Is my Mommy okay?", not even being
able to look in his eyes without tears from your own and not knowing
what to say. Or to have to hold back a long time friend who watches his
buddy having CPR done on him as they take him away in the Medic Unit.
You know all along he did not have his seat belt on. A sensation that I
have become too familiar with.

What fire needs to grow
People do'nt understand that to be a fire fighter it is alot more then working 24 hours then 3 days off. In those 24 hours on a city fire department like Toronto you can go out on calls every 5 min. Ihave a friends on the Toronto city Fire Dept. and in one shift the got 18 calls and we don't jsut go to fires we go to car accedents, medical, hazerdous matreals, water rescue confind space rescue and the list is goes on.
To defet fire you must know it inside and out all the properties that make fire. you have oxygen, heat , chemical chain reaction ignition. not only does fire spread very rapidly the smoke inside a building kills a person before the flames ever get to them. tempuratures can exseed 1200 F.
So if you think that our job is easy try it out see how fast you get tierd and stressed out.

The Rich get Richer
So as we all know that Mr. Harper is our new goverment, some people might be wondering where in the world is canada going to go now that he is in power. WAR thats where were going to end up maybe i'm the only one that figured this out. Mr. Harper not only shakes his kids hand after he drops them off to school the man is G W. Bush right hand man I mean look at it this way Bush is going in after oil in Iraq. It jsut so happens that Alberta is a huge oil perducer so now lets put two and two togther. Fisrt Harper and bush are buddies bush needs help in his war for oil. Harper helps bush in the war Alberta gets more money.
See some of you might be like me at the point where i dont give a flying fuck about canada any more. Qubec Fuck you i don't care if you split of from us. Alberta you Rich mother fuckers half of you fucking people live in ontario with you familys but go to alberta for 2 years and work as an oil worker load up you bank acounts and then come back home you know what fuck you and your mother fucking mama.
There's no fucking way I'm going to let health care be privetised. Now hold lets jump back for a second hear. We can put a salary cap on NHL players but yet we let universites and schools charge as much as they want for school resedence i mean whats stopping a university from making a broke poor student pay one grand for one class i mean you have to get an education to go somewhere in this life right? RIGHT
So well Harper is shaking his kids hands when they go of to shcool and bush is still in Iraq for oil qubec wants to be its own country. Schools charge as much as they want and health care is going down the drain. I'm sitting on my front porch in the middle of bum fuck nowhere smoking a special smoke.
