I'm not the only one proud of Canada!

In case you were wondering what my name is about I am saying this because mcleans.com wrote an article mentioning that the rest of the world views Canada as a very contributing, and popular country. It is true, Canada is viewed very highly around the world. Last summer I went on a trip to London England with my family. Everywhere we would go people would ask us if we were American or Canadian, as soon as I would tell them my Canadian heritage their smug faces would suddenly turn very happy. One person even told my dad, after he had denied being an American and ssaid he was Canadian, said "Oh we like Canadians." Also my cousin went backpacking accross europe and he said that as soon a people saw the Canadian crest on his bag (which is meantion in the second commercial) people would immediately welcome him and allow him to stay in their homes.

It is true that Canada has a good reputation accross the world

Are tasers safe?

The Dilema of taser use was evident in the death of Mr. Dziekanski a few days ago. I am not writting this to protest whether the police should have done what they did. Mr. Dziekanski was clearly destroying property and police were right to move in. The question is why did they use it so long, and if the length of time had nothing to do with it, why is our police force allowed to use these weapons. I ahve seen on videos people being shocked for no more than 3 seconds being subdoed and unable to move, why then did the police find it nessesary to continue charging this man after 30 seconds when he was screaming in pain. Maybe it is police procedure to charge a man for that long, but if that is the case, why? why keep charging them when there is no need? In another article I read apparently 69 deaths had been caused by taser attacks in the united States since 2000. This means it is not soley a Canadian Problem. I believe they should either turn down the voltage or shorten the amount of time they shock their suspects because another incident like this could put the police force into suspicion.

this is the video of Mr. Dziekanski being tasered by police.

Enough to get a job?

I you want to see my opinion of this video just checkout the comments on the side. I believe not only does she seem to be well qualified for the job, but she also presented those qualifications very effectively. In lecture Dr. Sevigny taught us how to present yourself in an interview, or how to present yourself to people you want to impress and gain trust. To my knowledge this girl has done a very good job of that. She had only positive things to say about herself. She also gives an overall positive vibe which helps create better chances for her. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if i was Flare I would hire her.
I also noticed that some of the pictures look they were taken in McMaster. This leads me to believe that she is from McMaster, which makes my opinion even more biased towards her success. I hope you get the internship Nicole.
