Tomorrow is Rememberance Day and some say it is becoming less recognized and appreciated due to the fact that the events that we remember on this day are too far in the past. It's true, both world wars did happen a long time ago, and a lot of things have changed since then. Technology has advanced and it's like the whole world functions is a different way now. But, that is not a reason to treat Rememberance Day as a thing of the past.
Rememberance Day is a day showing about showing respect to all the troops who fought for the Canada we all live in today. Without them Canada would not be the same as it is today. For some people to say that it is not important anymore is just ridiculous. People died to defend our country, and yes it was a long time ago but that doesn't mean we should start forgeting. We should never stop remembering because those troops risked their lives and died for us to live in peace, and to me, to forget about it all would just be completely wrong and immoral.
The people that think it is not as important to remember anymore need to wake up and realize that there is something very significant worth remembering, even though if it was a long time ago. The significance of the events out weigh the amount of time ago that they happened.

The Death of Halloween
I went out for Halloween this year to do some trick or treating for the last time because hey im in the last year of highschool so why not. I noticed that there was not a lot of people going house to house early one but i thought it just must be too early. As the night went on I began to realize that there were not many people going around at all. No its not like the streets were empty, but, when I was a kid i remember the streets being filled with kids just like me all dressed up and full of spirit.
I feel as if Halloween is dying, like all the kids parents are possibly too lazy to take their kids out and don't encourage them too or maybe they just take the easy way out and wait untill all the left over candy is on sale. If thats the case then its a real big shame, Halloween is a time of fun and a great holiday event to celebrate.
Halloween needs a re-birth. The streets need to be over-run with candy maniac kids again and more citizens needs to decorate their houses to scare the lights out of trick or treater's, because thats the whole point.
