We as Canadians have many rights and freedoms We are very lucky to be able to choose our own religion, to have freedom of the press, freedom to live where we want, freedom to be what we want to be and to have the freedom of speech. The government has promised freedom to all who live in Canada and to assist in this, The Charter of Rights and Freedom was made. The freedom I value most is the freedom of speech. Compared to Russia our country is as free as a bird. Anyone who doesn't do ex- actly as they're toldordisobeys the lawsin anyway maybe sent to Siberia. 'rhepeople in Russia have very few freedoms. Their lives are run by the government. Thelaws are so strict that the people are told what to wear and how to wear it, whatto do and how to do it, when to do it and what will happen if they don't. In South Africa the blacks are treated just like dirt. They can- not even vote. If the South African blacks speak out they could be sent to a prison or even Med. Many es are witnout freedoms and have a very hard life. Pm very lucky I live where I do, in Canada I appreciate all my freedoms and I am especially proud to have them. My grand- fathers and greatrigiux1fathers fought for our =miry, our rights and for us. Without these men we- coal have been like many other countries in this world, without rights and without respect for each other. When we sing our national anthem 0' Canada, everyone shoukIstandproud, and think of how lucky we are just to 'be in this cormtry. The freedom of speech lets us lmow -what Is going on in Canada, and tens us what our government is doing. Free speech letsas see both sides of everything so we can be the judge and have an opi- nion. The choice is ours. I wish all Canadians could appreciate our freedom of speech and standup for what is right not just sit there and say nothing. Many people worked hard to.give us these rights so let us use them! I have freedom of speech in niy home, in my school, in my class and everywhere I go. I plan to always stand up for what I think is right and by writing this story I aro freely irrna,!_v_p_Lsallestine,thorpfyim, of speech.
