Comment to Deanna's Article(Extra garbage pickup to cost Calgarians)
The idea to pay $ 2.30 extra for any bag that does not fit in a black cart is very beneficial to the environment. This will limit the amount of trash created by people, but the black cart is 240 liters which is really big. However, people may start to litter more and throw their trash out in other places. This can be stopped by more pressure towards the laws and regulations. In additions, landfills contain millions of garbage bags and to find open land for garbage is difficult. I agree with Deanna as our society will be more cleaner and global warming will decrease. Furthermore, we must start to reduce, reuse and recycle as that will preserve our natural resources. We can use the recycled objects again and again and that will reduce the garbage going to land fill sites. I also agree with Nancy because the government is being more considerate about this issue and this helps the society a lot. By paying money, it shows people the seriousness of this issue, and cause them to be more Eco friendly like use the same plastic bag as they go shopping. The economy will be cleaner and safer as they dispose there garbage properly. I agree with Nancy as it makes the job of sanitation workers easier and faster as they just have to dump it in rather than picking up other bags on the ground. I think all countries should follow this policy as it will make the planet healthier.
Comment to Siv's Article(Womαn Fined for Fαce-Covering Veil
This is a serious issue, and this reminds people that discrimination is not over. I agree with Siv as this lady should have the right to wear a niqab as well as everyone. This depicts freedom of expression which should be respected in Canada. This women is expressing her beliefs and religious views upon her country and should be accepted. By fining this couple, this shows that the government officials do not view others perspectives in a multicultural way and these assumptions should be changed throughout the world. In addition, by wearing a niqab it allows them to show people their identity. However, they can be checked by a female officer but should not be fined or penalized for not taking it out in the public. It is like saying Hindus should not wear sarams and sarees in the temple which is a religious clothing. Moreover, the basic rights of people is being affected and action should be taken upon. I think the government officials should be more serious on how they react to these situations. I agree with Srijoni, as it is astonishing because this issue is being debated in Quebec. This clothing is made up of normal material as other clothes but just covers there face so WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM? Canada is becoming more and more multicultural so this will become more common and people will have to adapt and get used to it. Furthermore, we must eliminate segregation and allowing people to wear there religious clothing is the way to go.
