Nov 21, 2007 04:30 AM Debra Black Kerry Gillespie Staff Reporters
The provincial government

The provincial government is now experimenting whether there is any chemicals found in baby bottles, children drinking cups, soft plastic toys, reusable water bottles and even the lining of some food cans. Members of environmental who studied chemicals polluting in Canadian children is now taking the action. The groups has found 39 chemicals that contaminated their body, including, bisphenol A- a substance that causes breast cancer, obesity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and developmental problems. Environmental defence went out to the park and draw attention to the issue of chemicals in children bottle toward the provincial government. 150 parents and children went out with a sign that says “Babies Unite Against Toxic Chemicals" and "Don't Pollute Me.

As you can see chemicals were found in babies bottles, children drinking cupos, water bottles. Even though, babies are just youngsters who are just born to live and they have the right to be treated as other people. If the government or manufactor of baby bottle thinks that baby are not important but they are going to lead our world in the next century. Because the birth rate around the world is decreasing dramatically. We need to take care and consider babies health and safety more.

Boys, 8 and 9, charged with rape

Nov 19, 2007 03:00 PM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


Three boys, who are ages of 8 and 9 are being held today in detention centre. Three boys were charged by kidnapping and rapping an 11 year old girl. It was near suburban apartment complex. The girls mother reported the police yesterday. The girls was playing outside and the girl was taken to the wooded area, where the girl was sexually assaulted. Boys raped her. Three boy, two were 9 years old and one boy was 8 years old were charged with rape, kidnapping, false imprisionment, and sexual assault. Becuase these boys are young, they were taken to juvenile courts. The boys told they didn't had sex and the police told that this was the investigation where rapes are involved in young parties.


I believe that boys who are only 8, 9 years old, should be taken to the juvenile school to learn. Youth criminal justice act will proceed. Since the boys were still maturing and do not yet possess the judgement of adult. These boy should be sent to the juvenile school and teach lesson that will reflect on to their minds. When they come out from juvenile school, it would be just a whole new world for them. I trust these boys that they will act properly with respect to the society.

Copied 'Simpsons Movie,' man fined

Nov 13, 2007 01:49 PM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS




A syndney man who upload Simpsons Movie on internet after recording on his cellphone was fined. He had a pirate copy of “ The Simpons Movie.” The man was fined with 1000 Australian dollars ( Cdn$857) by the court today for breaching copy right. An international operation involving Australian Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.'s Fox movie studios, and it had the right to the blockbuster and tracked unauthorized copy to Jose Duarte’s home, 21. He was also arrested in August. Prosecutor Chuan Ng said that in few hours people downloaded 3,213 times when it was available in the internet. Duarte’s lawyer said Duarte tried twice to upload movie in July 26 which was the release date and he upload ahead of the time when the movie was showed to rest of the world. Duarte thought he wasn’t able to up upload ahead but he was able to. The lawyer Stewart said “It would appear that this young man had the sophistication of a dead fish and he had no idea what he was doing.” Duarte was charge with the charge of distribution of copyright movie.

In my opinion, the man who tracked Simpsons movie was wrong. I believe uploading up earlier than showing up in the theatre will cause a huge problem. Not only it would reduce viewers of move “ Simpsons movie” but also the man would receive many charge that is followed by the distribution of copyright movie. Even though, it doesn’t apply to Australia. In Canada, The Canadian Charter of Rights and freedom states that The Canadian copyright act.
