   A teacher from Toronto purchased a lottery ticket, he took the ticket home and posted it on his fridge. Little did he know that what he had just posted on his fridge was worth $21million. 2 days after purchasing the ticket the teacher left on a trip to Europe. He spent nearly his entire summer in Europe while instead he could have been spending his $21 million.

“I wouldn’t have been living out of a backpack for two months if I’d known"

I think this story is crazy! I cant even explain how happy I would be if I realized I had won $21 million. This teacher is an extremely lucky person. What would you do if you won $21 million?

Mp's bid to protect flag adds another notch to harper's patriotic belt.

       There is a debate about a new law regarding the ability to fly the Canadian flag. The law states that anybody who trys to stop someone from flying our national flag will be either fined or sentenced to jail. This law will just add to Stephen harper's efforts to re-brand Canada and its symbols. Harper believes that this is a good way of creating more public expressions  of pride in the country and presenting history through a conservative lens. 

      I think that this is a great new law to have. People should definitely show off our country's flag. It let's others who see the flag know that we are proud to be Canadian. Anybody who try's to stop someone from showing off Canada's flag clearly isn't proud of where their from and should receive some sort of punishment, whether it be a fine or a jail sentence.

Satelite pices to hit earth in days

     Nasa is saying that a dead satellite is going to break into about 2 dozen pieces and fall to earth. Scientists say that there is a 1 in 3200 chance of someone being hit by the debris. It is vary rare that something like this occurs. The satellite was launched 20 years ago and nobody knows where on earth the satellite will land.

    
 I think this is a pretty interesting article and it will be cool to see where the satellite parts land on the earth. Hopefully nobody is injured by this event but like the NASA team said the chances of that happening are very small. I'm looking forward to seeing when in the next few days these satellite parts will fall to earth.
