Due to the baby boom of 2012 the population in Canada jumped 128%, growing from 34278400 in 2011 to a whopping 43876352 in 2012 as you all know. Twelve years later we are suffering the consequences, our roads are over flooded with homeless people, and riots are breaking out. Prime minster Alex Sturgeon just passed a law that said if you have a female child, she must be sacrificed, for the sake of the population.
Histraria broke out in Toronto, feminist and prolife leaders created a nonviolent protest. Georgina Buckingham said “we seem to be reverting back into the 1940’s where women didn’t have rights which is the scariest thing I’ve ever heard of”.
As smaller cities are joining in on riots Prime Minister Sturgeon may see the mass histraria he has caused, although countries such as China have had similar laws for years. We saught a comment but he could not be reached at this time.

In Toronto there has been many deaths related to C. Defficile infections, over 20 sense late May. I think the lead of this article "TORONTO - Three more deaths have been linked to C. difficile infections in Ontario as eight hospitals continue efforts to contain outbreaks of the infection." I think this lead is relatively effective because it gets to the point but offers reassurance that hospitals are trying to contain the outbreak. "Niagara Region health officials say two patients in St. Catharine’s and one in Niagara-on-the-Lake died Thursday night." the source of the quote was the Niagara Region health officials. They do use the most interesting facts first, the fact that 20 deaths have occurred was mentioned in the first few lines, but the fact that those 20 deaths were spread out over 10 different hospitals wasn't mentioned until the end. I don't find the story has a very good ending it more or less just stops.

In Canada the inflation rate jumped 0.4 points to 3.1 per cent in August. The lead "OTTAWA - Canada's annual inflation rate jumped 0.4 points to 3.1 per cent in August as consumers paid more for gasoline, food and many other items as well." is a relativley effective lead, gets straight to the point and explains what inflation means.

Reflection Entry #1 – First Newspapers
They're are many differences between newspapers that are in publish today and the first newspapers to be published, although there are many simmilarities as well. They visually appear different in everyway other then the heading and colomns, they were no advertisments, pictures or color in the first newspaper.
Propaganda has always been in the media, it was a main aspect in World War II. There has always been a looming glass roof when it comes to the news, you can only share so much of your opinion before your stepping out of line, before they close you down, before they take away your legal rights. The goverment in my opinoin should have no say in news, no ifs ands and buts about it. Newspapers are a resource that we are intitled too, as canadian citizens we should know possitive or negative all about our government.
"Indeed it may be argued that this was the very first instance of a news blog in America." was a statment made in an argument about Publick Occurences. I agree with the statement, because really the first newspaper was more like a blog then a common newspaper. There are no advertisments, and they were often released as just one story or in other words just one "post".
Often newspapers today are critical but they know what they can be critical about and what subjects are a little more taboo. More often then not newspapers today don't critic the government in power or buisness' that often advertise in there newspaper. Its a case of not biting the hand that feeds you.
I really am not shocked that the first newspaper was published in Halifax, a lot of the "firsts" in Canada happened in the Atlantic provinces before Western Canada was so developed.
