Rosemary Brown is a Politician, feminist that is born in Jamaica but she grew up on the tropical island. Rosemary Brown is remembered for her empowering speeches that inspired all who listened, but even more so for her contribution to Canadian politics, feminism, human rights, and international development. Rosemary Brown was a social worker before becoming the first black women elected to a Canadian legislature in 1972. She went to Canada in 1950 to study about racism at McGill University. Rosemary Brown went to Vancouver in the mid- 1955 because racism was apparent there. She also went to Vancouver to marry Bill Brown and she supported him while he finished his medical degree. Saying in a part “... to be Black and female in a society which is both racist and sexist is to be in the unique position of having nowhere to go but up!”



White people didn't think racism was a big deal, people that had a different skin colour they didn't take sexism a major issue, she proved that racism and sexism and lots of other things are horrible. In 1993 she was named to the Canadian Security Intelligence Review Committee for a five-year term. Rosemary Brown is the Chief Commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission. She served as the organization's Special Ambassador and then President. Rosemary Brown served in the legislature from 1972 to 1986.

Assignment #4

I checked out all my peer's blogs and they were all fantastic, but the two i LOVED were Hanifa's in E7A and Fatema's blog in E8C.



I think Fatema did a great job on assignment three, except i liked how she said " I believe Canada will put a stop to violence that is started over drugs, politics, and money." Well i wish that will happen too, i mean like there have been lots of violence and murdering that started because of drugs and more kinds of drugs even money as Fatema said. She has a great point there that i think everybody should go check her blog out.


The other blog i loved was Hanifa's blog. It had terrific ideas of what she thinks will happen in a hundred years from now. A statement i loved that Hanifa wrote was " (positives-the job that a person can work on is substituted with a mechanical tool." That would be amazing,especially lots of adults are lazy and they don't feel like waking up they can work on the computer at home. The adults that work with a mechanical tool will be great for them, because if their sick or tired and they can't go to work, they can work on their jobs using the tool (Computer,Laptop,etc.) at home without missing a whole bunch of work their supposed to do.

Assignment #3

What i think Canada will look like in hundred years from now is...... before i start i think you should go check out Christopher Moore's blog.



I think we will be living underwater because of what will happen to the glaciers when they melt. There will be towers and everything will change for underwater source. There will be halls to get from place to place that connect to everything else like, buildings, schools, shopping malls, dentists/doctors/hospitals, movies, because there won't be any vehicles around but scooters and skateboards and bikes, carts; etc. There will be robots to help people get around from place to place, also teleporters would be around to get somewhere easily. Teleporters could be a great use for going on a vacation to another country or visiting other countries. We would pretty much be safe and a big city but underwater. Creatures would be living on top of us but they won't be able to come down and harm us because there is a blocking shield on top of our country/city/town that will keep them out. Everything would be the same the only difference is that our new world would be underwater. I think that we would be using more electricity then gas down there, maybe even more batteries to use for stuff like lights, ovens, washing machines, television, computers/laptops, and other sorts of stuff you could think of like that. We wouldn't pollute the air like we have in this world and being scared of global warming, taking care of our new world is all it would really take. I think our new world would be much safer, and that's just what i think maybe it'll be different but that's just what i think.

Welcome Creatures!!!!
