FINAL BLOG! Only one (1) blog this week!

Your FINAL BLOG topic is FREE CHOICE!  You could blog about whatever it is you want, except what you've already blogged about!  You could go on a rant or you could simply blog about something important to you.

Be creative and write about something you feel important or something you would like to tell your audience. Write about something you are passionate about. GO OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!

You must remember your audience.  It is not simply me (Mr. Katz) reading this blog!  

If you will be ranting about a certain individual, you need to leave their name out of this.  You could give them a pseudonym (example: Mr. Ed) or simply leave their name as anonymous.

Make sure your language is appropriate.  Do not go on swearing tangents.

Up until July 14, 1976, Canada used the death penalty.  The method they used was HANGING!

Over 1,400 Canadians were executed.

In 1987, a vote to bring back the death penalty was introduced, but the motion was defeated  by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.

In order to alleviate the congestion in many prisons (as seen in the movie 13th), should Canada re-instate the death penalty?

Explain.
