Camosun Bog Case Study

875 Words4 Pages

The Camosun Bog is currently an environmental wetland that produces berries and food for plants and animals around the area. The government is currently thinking of taking over the bog to create houses for the problem that is going on in Vancouver which is the growing population with not enough housing. Since there is not enough housing, this results to making the houses more expensive which struck up the idea to the program for the low income earners in Vancouver.

Developing the Camosun Bog would impact negatively because the bog will die eventually and instead we should create housing on that land for the governments program for the people earning low income in their jobs. The bog is slowly dying because of the change of climate around us. …show more content…

The bog provides all these animals with them. It is extremely important to keep the bog because it provides all the needs of the animals. It has swamps which supply the animals with water. The bog has many berries for the animals and people visiting and there is also a huge forest; “Pacific Spirit Trail” where animals can live.

As you can see, there are also many important reasons why the bog should not be pampered with for housing. The bog provides oxygen for us to breath and it gives the animals around the area the perfect place to eat and drink.

My opinion about the bog is however negative because we already have enough plants around the area as there are trees at almost street and forests for animals to go to. The rising problem with housing is definitely the most important problem because there will be many homeless people if we do not notice the problems that are happening around Vancouver. Homeless people may develop diseases because they don’t even have a suitable place to live and when they develop diseases, it could spread. These are just some predictions of what would happen if the program the government created is not taken in account and

If the government only cares about the people in their country that give them money, what will happen to those who don’t? Will the protection of the police force be outstretched to welfare recipients, or are they not important enough? Does the government just not want to protect the broke and young, or will they actually go out of their way to harm them? These are all valid concerns going through the minds of Peers and I.

Overlea Boulevard, in the Thorncliffe Park community, has been identified by the City of Toronto as a main street corridor that requires a new plan to address the transition of land uses in the area and to more readily address the needs of the residents within the community.

It is estimated that the area immediately south of Overlea Blvd. and along Thorncliffe Park Dr. has a population of over 30,000 people.

A subtropical wilderness with grass marshes, forests thick with trees hundreds of years old and hardwood hammocks (trees that only grow a few inches tall but packed very close together but can take up acres). Seems like a place to protect. Ever since the 1900 draining of the everglades, the ecosystem has shrunk by 50%. People did not see how important the Florida everglades where. The effect of the polluted water in the everglades is causing problems for both people and the inhabitants of the everglades.

In the editorial “Ending DACA Would Upend the Dreams of a Generation of Immigrants Without Fixing a Thing”, recently published by the Los Angeles Times, the writers address the current issues surrounding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in response to a public statement by the White House suggesting that the President is expected to annul DACA in as quickly as a week. In this article, the editors first explain what DACA is and what it accomplishes. DACA is a program instituted by the order of previous United States President Barrack Obama which is “designed to give stability to people whose undocumented status is no fault of their own” (“Ending” 1). Primarily intended for people who were minors brought illegally over the United States boarder by their parents, this federal policy provides a renewable two-year work visa and, consequently, immunity to deportation during that time for over 750,000 previously undocumented illegal immigrants.

For example in the story in source two it stated "while incarceration renders many unable to find gainful employment upon release, consigning them to underground economics where disputes are resolved by violence. This shows that when people get out of jail, they are unable to get a job so they go back to jail. The government should do a sentencing reform to help people get jobs who have been in jail. This will decrease the jail population. Another example that is stated in the text in source two is "we should heed the call of black lives matter and other voices for change that connect criminal law reform to broader social and fiscal policy reforms to reforms that would reduce violence by revitalizing our communities, providing employment to disaffected youth, funding drug treatment and quality health care, investing in education and shelter fit for human beings, and ending our shameful practices of mass incarceration".

The Importance of the Everglades Everglades, a place where animals can roam free in their natural habitat and where people can come to watch them. It’d be a real shame if all wetlands were to all of a sudden disappear. And from the looks of how things are going now with wetlands all over the United States are being drained, degraded or destroyed. As it says in the article “Wetlands and Habitat Loss” things like this have been going on since as far back as the 18th century.

The total annual cost of food stamp program $69,800,000,000. Now, these social welfare programs are not a total complete failure they indeed do play a significant role in todays economy. If you were to eliminate these programs a countries economy would suffer because what taxpayers don't take into consideration is that if you have these high unemployment rate and homeless people and not providing them with some sort of assistance, there is going to have less consumer, and if there is less consumer, companies wont be making enough money to provide jobs, and if there is no workers companies wont be producing. So eventually the unemployment rate will increase even higher and economy will drop immensely. The social welfare programs help stabilize the government and prevent economical problems like the “great depression.”
