First nation blog

A delegation of B.C. First Nation chiefs will be here next week to urge the Harper government to reject BC Hydro’s $8-billion Site C hydroelectric megaproject. The mega project is planning to construct and operate a dam and 1,100-megawatt hydroelectric generating station on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia. Yet, the dam will have a bad effect on environment and it will flood 83 kilometres of the river and destory farmland and wildlife habitat. Although it’s great to push the advance of world’s economy, it still does great harm to our environment and have a serious effect on farmers and wildlifes. Some chiefs have pointed out that the government can actually operate small projects in area such as wind, solar, and geothermal power.

In my point of view, I personally not support the  Site C hydroelectric megaproject. The government only consider the profits created by the project but ignore the negative impacts that have on the people who live in those areas. The project will cause flood which spoil people’s right to fish, hunt, and use the area foe ceremonial purposes. I suggest te government should consider more situations and accidents which may take place in the project and they’d better let everyone vote for the decision.

10262938“Two Men Stabbed Overnight at Gastown Pub.” Www.vancouversun.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 04 Oct. 2014.

This Satuday morning, another tragedy took place in gastown, two men stabbed overnight at Gastown pub. When the police arrived, they found two men with serious stab wounds. The police have not provided any further information , but we can imagine that it is another tragedy caused by alcohol, drugs, or money. In my point of view, every one has strong desires, but the key point is how to control your desires. The difference between animals and humans is that human have wisdom so that human can control themselves and build a harmonous, orderly society. Although possessivness of different people is different., we have to learn to control our desires. Without the abilities of controling ourselves, we are the same as monsters, a moth of our society. If everyone can move a step back in arguments, we can prevent most of the tragedies.  Thousands of people are injured in fighting each year. Although we have to admit that there are disputes occured where people are,  we can try out best to solve the problems in a peaceful way but not through fighting. We can work together to make the world a better place for everyone.

Hong Kong latest news

10263059“Hong Kong Protest Defiant in Face of Attack by Opponents, Stages Massive Saturday Rally.” Www.vancouversun.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 04 Oct. 2014.

The protestation to government in Hong Kong  was defiant  in the face of attacks by opponents and warnings by the Hong Kong government to clear the streets, staging a massive rally Saturday evening in the downtown business district they’ve occupied for a week. People in Hongkong are not try to seek for a revolution, they just want democracy. However, the government cleared the streets and expeled citizens with tear shell. This activities was ended with violence and blooded, it is unfortunate that the government ignored the aspirations of citizens and used weapon to our compatriot. Weapons are used to defend the enemies but not turn the guns to our friends. The violence is not advocated in this kind of situations. Although the city leader appeared on television on Satuday evening to claim that “There are many problems to be resolved in society, but the right way is through rational communication to seek common ground while holding back differences,” he said. “Not fighting on the streets, which makes things worse”, the motion of Hong kong government has a big effect and does big harm to our citizen. On Friday night and early Saturday, 19 people were arrested by police. Moreover, at least 12 people and 6 officers were injured. The conflict between government and citizens are now more and more intense. We hope that all the problem can be solved in a peaceful way and no one is gonna injured in the process. The government of Hongkong can create a harmonious and happy society

Ebola!!

“B.C. Officials Reassure Residents about Ebola after First U.S. Case.” Www.vancouversun.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 04 Oct. 2014.

After the first case of ebola is confirmed in the U.S., people are starting to aware of the risk of this disease and some people are afraid that there will be confirmed case in B.C. B.C.’s provincial health officer tried to reassure residents of their safety Tuesday after the first confirmed case of Ebola was reported in the United States. The professor noted that ebola cannot “[D]oes not spread easily and can only do so through direct contact with bodily fluids”. We have to admit it the world is full of different posibilities. There are always some virus which people cannot conquer. However, we can’t give up the hope, there is always a way to save those who is suffering from Ebola virus.  Surrey hospital now has a new critical care tower with infection control capacity, a lab and highly-experienced staff who have dealt with H1N1 and SARS. God never shuts one door but he opens another, the most valuable treasure human owns is wisdom. We should believe our government can protect us from the harm of ebola and we can defeat it.
