In this assignment, I've been asked to read about an influential black Canadian and write about who the person was and what contributions they gave to Canada. I chose to use Peter C. Butler III. He was the first black Canadian to become a police officer. He was born on1859 in Biddulph, Ontario and died on 1943 in Lucan, Ontario. He became a police officer in 1913 and was an officer until 1936. He was a friendly man who, instead of relieing, relied on his size and police stick. He also kept drunks in his house overnight, instead of putting them in jail. I have read this from 2 sources: http://www.famouscanadians.net/, and http://ablenet.ca/pdf/fortunebutler.pdf

Assignment #4 - Linking back to your peers
In this assignment, i need to respond to 3 entries people have made about 2109. The first one i want to link back to is Hanifa's Post, which tells a lot about how she expects the world to change through the years.
The second person i would like to link back to is Jaspreet's Blog. It talks about how he thinks technology and manking will advance, as well as how the world will either improve a lot, or be a complete disaster compared to our current state.
The last blog i want to link to is Samantha's Blog. I think this one is great because she talks about things like female and black prime ministers, and how she thinks all classes will be in blogs.
