Lower Drinking Age in Saskatchewan
The Saskatchewan government should lower drinking age in Saskatchewan to eight-teen. The Saskatchewan government may consider lowering the minimum legal drinking age to 18, according to Premiere Lorne Calvert. The current drinking age is 19 in Saskatchewan, 18 in Alberta, And 18 in Manitoba.
 The reason they are thinking about changing it would be part of a strategy to keep more young people from moving to those provinces that have a lower minimum legal drinking age than currently exists in Saskatchewan. The government should lower the drinking age because we could lose population and then people don’t have to buy alcohol illegally. If All the people in Europe and most of those over seas countries can drink at the age of 16 then what is the big problem of lowering it to 18 here. One of the most argued reasons to not lower it is all the drinking and driving accidents and all the deaths influenced by alcohol. The government should take some chances and follow through with this idea; it will help our population in Saskatchewan and create bigger cities and towns.  
The Saskatchewan government should lower the current drinking age from nine-teen to eight-teen; it will really benefit this province in many ways.

Colubine Essay

Guns are too easy to get in the U.S.A. In this documentary Michael Moore shows the audience how guns are too easy to get in the U.S. like when he walked into a local Michigan bank and opens up an account so the bank  hands him a free gun. Also mostly all the Wal-marts and K-marts sold ammo for weapons in there stores. And everybody in the U.S. can own a gun in there homes.
            Michael Moore spots an ad in the Michigan newspaper on how he can go to the North Country bank, open up an account and receive a new gun. So he goes to the bank and goes up the counter and tells the banker that he wants to open up the account with the free gun. The bank holds around five hundred fire arms in their vault at all times. So he goes to the back and has to fill out papers and the banker has to do a background check on him. The North Country bank is a licensed fire arm dealer and a bank. So after all that sure enough they give him a brand new gun so Michael asked the man who gave him the gun if he thought it was dangerous to be handing out guns at a bank.
            Michael Moore goes and talks to two boys that were involved in the columbine shooting; their names are Richard and Mark. Richard was shot with a 9mm and now he is disabled from the waste down. Mark can barley stand after numerous operations from all the seventeen cent bullets that entered his body. So they all go to the K-mart headquarters and talk to a lady about why they sell ammo in their stores and how they should stop selling it in their stores. The lady leaves and brings down a man who is in charge of buying the bullets for K-mart; those  guys left and didn’t come back so Michael, Richard, and Mark left. As they were leaving they came up with an idea to go to the local K-mart and buy out all their bullets so they did. The next day they went back to K-mart headquarters and brought the press. A lady came out and announcted that K-mart will no longer be selling ammo in their stores.
            Michael Moore goes to a school called Buell Elementary were a little 6 year old girl gets shot and dies from a little 6 year old boy. The boy found a gun in his uncles house so he took it to school and shot a girl; all people in America should not be able to own guns in their home. He also goes to a farmer whos brothers were involved in a bombing. This farmer own lots of guns and keeps a gun under his pillow at night.
            In Michael Moore’s “Bowling For Colubine” he shows the audience how easy it is to get of own a gun in the U.S. like when he goes to a bank and and opens up an account and gets a free gun. Most of the K-marts in
