Critics in the past, prior to the opening of Insite, were worried that the opening of a facility that allowed drug use would inevitably attract drug-related crime. These assumptions presented a valid downside to the site, yet in many studies they were proven to be irrelevant. According to a study that was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, which looked at the correlation between Insite and drug-related crime, the authors conclude that, “All measures of public

“The global media system is now dominated by a first tier of nine giant firms. The five largest are Time Warner, Disney , Bertelsmann, Viacom , and Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation(McChesney). The press has the option to cover what sells news and what does not. As soon as one of the protesters does something illegal or outrageous, then you will hear about it. “It’s had to take a protest fully seriously when it looks like a circus – some participants seem to have taken a chute straight from Burning Man – and when its organized by Canadian magazine and a computer hacking group (Weiss).
Sidakmeet G20 Riots The G20 riots that broke down on July 26 2010 in downtown Toronto made a day in the history of Toronto with largest mass arrest about 1118 protestors were arrested and caused damage worth million of dollars to the public property, shops and historical buildings and injuries to several people. No one had ever seen anything like this in Toronto and cops were trying their best to bring everything under controlled but riots were getting more intense. During the course of the G20 summit about 2000 angry protestors broke away from the protest route and headed toward the convention center where the summit was on its way but they were unsuccessfully as police maintained their blockades, protecting the fence. Protestors smashed the windows of various office buildings and stores along Yonge Street, Queen Street West using hammers, flag poles, umbrellas, chunks of pavement and mailboxes as the conditions were getting bad security was more tighten and more cops were called from neighbouring cities help calm the people.

In the book entitled Just Another Dead Indian A Serial Killer and Canada’s Indifference, Goulding reveals the deep seated inequality that exists in the Canadian Criminal Justice System, the media, and the public (Goulding, 2001). To support his claims Goulding uses one of Canada’s most horrific crimes the serial killings of John Martin Crawford. Those who are aware of John Crawford’s terrible deeds would agree that his case belongs in the league of Clifford Olsen, Paul Bernardo, Marcello Palma, and other infamous serial killers. However, the amount of publicity and media attention John Martin Crawford’s trial received paralleled that of a small town fair (Goulding, 2001). His aggressive sexual behaviour which resulted in the deaths of Eva Taysup, Shelley Napope, and Calinda Waterhen were shunned by the public and regarded as mildly newsworthy by the media (Goulding, pg 211).

Controlling Police Brutality The police have served an integral part in society as out protectors. Throughout the years, however, scholars as well as we citizens have begun to question the use of force, racism and internal corruption as well as other forms of misconduct by our officers of the law. The excessive use of force by police officers persists because of overwhelming barriers to their accountability. For instance, when police do get in trouble, it is normally a slap on the wrist, a lecture or loss of a vacation day as it stated in the article “Good Cop Bad Cop.” This fact makes it possible for officers who commit these violations to escape punishment and then often repeat their offenses. Every report of abuse is often met with denial or explanation of why the abuse was necessary instead of taking any real action like a suspension or removal of their badge in most cases.
It can spell the difference between intellectual fulfillment or catastrophe. Studies done in Canada show that distracted driving has surpassed drunk driving as a leading cause of accidents.(Barker,2014).

The fastest growing and most problematic of drivers is texting. Texting while driving is extremely dangerous, as well as negligent. Since then, 14 states have banned texting while driving. Even though those states have banned texting while driving, its such a bad habit people do it anyway.
