Never ending Volleyball rally
I am writing this post with two people in mind... Any scouts looking to recruit, look up Tamara Hayat (Concordia university, Montreal), and Muhannad Ibrahim (Mcmaster University, Hamilton).
City surfing... Literally!
So two weeks ago I went with some friends on a picnic in Montreal. I was very surprised to see people walking around with surf boards as is they are going to ride the waves in the river. Ironic right? Ever since I have been trying to find out what those people were trying to do. I think I just found what I was looking for.

Canadian elections
Since the beginning of their campaigns I noticed one thing and it's been bothering me so much. All their speeches, all four of them, are based on what the other party did wrong and accusing each other of either coalition or abuse of power. Until now I did not hear one speech about what each party wants to do and how they can fix the budget and what they can bring to the Canadians. It would be alright if they say that they will be doing something that the other party won't but it's not okay for them to just state what the other party isn't doing or doing wrong.
Canadian elections set for May 2nd
The Canadian opposition accused the Harper government of abuse of power and highly contested his budget plan. As a result the liberal party joined forces with the 2 other opposition parties taking a stand again the conservatives. Which means joined together they have a lot more power than the conservative's. A motion was passed yesterday from the opposition and the results of the votes showed 156 votes in favor, 11 more than the votes against. This is the first time in Canada that the government was found in contempt of the parliament and as a result Steven Harper, after discussing with the governor general David Johnson, decided to dissolve the parliament.
