My first time of Job Fair in Canada
My little baby had got a unreasonable serious fever and vomiting in the past few days. Let me feel very worried and sad. My husband and I took her to see her pediatrician and to go to hospital many times, but she still had been lasting high temperature. The antipyretic didn't work for reducing her fever, I just helplessly saw that her nose had been bleeding with nonstop due to high fever. Because my baby just is 18 months, so the doctors couldn't do further special inspections. Consequently, I had to pray to God a lot. Thanks to God, the pediatrician gave her some antibiotic medicines after 3 terrible days, she 's gradually got better, thus, let my mood get better, too.
My dear friend YuYu called me yesterday morning, she told me that the teacher has took our classmates to take part in the Job Fair. This news let me excited, I have never visit any Job Fairs in Canada. I discussed with my husband's nephew who just graduated from Seneca College, we decided to visit it with our resumes.
When we got there, I saw lots of people walking around. I felt there were many scientific and engineering or technical jobs, but there weren't feasible jobs for me because my major is liberal arts job. I saw several stands of technological colleges gave people counsel. I called my friend who need the information on this aspect to visit this Job Fair, but she was interested in the position of police. I saw so many people lined up the longest line in front of the stand of Bell Company. I reminded two Chinese idioms that the people are many and the supply of gruel is meager, the weakest goes to the wall. So, I deeply felt if I want to get satisfied job in Canada, I have to overcome the English language barrier as a new immigrant. I still need to do my best studying English hard. I hope the pressures can be converted into power for my learning.

List three most surprising parties and discuss with a partner.
My thoughts on freedom
I found some of parties are very interesting in Canada, they let me surprise. I discuss with my friend YuYu about these parties，we obviously felt the freedom and democracy are advocated in Canada.
1.Party for People with Special Needs
2.Vegan Environmental Party
3.Pauper Party of Ontario
4.Equal Parenting Party
These names gave me a special feeling in my heart, because I can feel the freedom from these words. I extracted following several parts of readmes and experiences wrote by the founding leaders of these parties.So that we can more clearly understand the origin of these parties and their propositions.
In my country, maybe some caring people can volunteer to organize some organizations and charities to help some people, but I have never heard yet that there are any parties for people with special needs. I realized that Canada is a country to attach importance to human rights and democracy even people with disabilities.
Danish Ahmed is the Leader of the Party for People With Special Needs. Over the last five years we have worked hard to make a difference for families affected by family members with disabilities. We ran in the last two provincial elections, raising awareness by highlighting relevant issues and pointing to solutions that empower everyone in our society.
For example, many people with disabilities are unable to complete their tax returns and get their government benefits, like the HST refund. We have been providing FREE tax return services to ensure that everyone receives all the disability benefits and tax credits they are entitled to. We can do your income tax too, free of charge! When we help people with disabilities, we are helping everybody.
I knew some people are vegetarianism, some people are environmentalists and conservationists, but I have never seen which party can stand for them like Canadian Vegan Environmental Party.
The Vegan Environmental Party is the voice for animal rights in the Ontario provincial
election.Our platform focuses on animals, the environment, and social justice.
The Vegan Environmental Party advocates:
- an end to all government funding for animal agriculture, which kills hundreds of millions of animals per year in Ontario, is a significant cause of global warming, and contributes to the three leading causes of death in Ontario (cancer, heart disease, and stroke)
- implementing a subsidy and training program to assist in the transition of those currently involved in animal agriculture to plant based agriculture or other employment
- a greater emphasis on preventive health care, including nutritional counselling
- a complete overhaul of the Ministry of Natural Resources, to focus on protecting and enhancing Ontario's ecosystems for the benefit of all (humans and nonhuman animals alike), rather than manipulating the environment for the benefit of hunters
- no new nuclear power plants, and the phasing out of existing ones while focusing on renewable energy sources
- raising the Ontario Works (welfare) and Ontario Disability Support Program rates to reflect the actual cost of living in Ontario
- raising the minimum wage for workers to one that reflects the true cost of living
- implementing an affordable housing subsidy that effectively caps housing costs at a maximum 30% of income
- greater funding for affordable, high-quality public transportation
- smaller class sizes
- the elimination of post-secondary tuition fees at public colleges and universities
- better educational facilities for children with special needs, including the availability of needed services in their own neighbourhoods
- an end to public funding of religious education
-elimination of our current non-democratic "first past the post" electoral system in favour of proportional representation.
Hence,I think I also agree with some of the above viewpoints of this party.
In addition,I also have seen many paupers or beggars roved in all place, but I still have never had sensibleness which party represents for this type of crowd. When I looked through some of their positions on “legalizing gambling, legalizing marijuana ”, I felt I cannot approve of them. So, you still can perceive no matter how positive or negative political views can co-exist, maybe it would be another way to reflect about democracy.
I am a mother for my little daughter, I know my responsibilities and caring for her. I hate any no responsible behaviors abusing children,I do not agree with either of divorced couples to evade child support obligations, but I still don't subscribe to one party of the divorced couple without fair for deserved rights from marriage and child custody. I really have never experienced parents can take part in the party such as Canadian Equal Parenting Party.
After reading this introduction, I was deeply touched, Someone had also been suffering such unspeakable excruciation like my husband's. I felt my husband also need help and relief, Let him can come out from the painful shadows of previous marriage with suffering and unfair treatment of mental torture. I feel more that Canada gives people the freedom to pursue their legitimate and fair rights.
In summary said, the freedom in Canada is unbeatable. Here are humanitarian policies, considerate and humane care. This is the freedom of Canada that is desire for everyone.

About the Party Leader
Dennis Valenta...
-married in 1984, Fathered 4 children,(3 girls and a boy)2 Grand children that I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet!
Separated/Divorced on Oct.2/2000
Separated/Divorced on Oct.2/2000
-invited to the “Ontario Court of Justice”, by ex-wife( Not really ex-wife Legally, but I believe she Divorced me long before she left) . This of course was not a pleasant invite, as anyone whom has received the same invite, knows!
-Ended up paying child support of more than I was paying out in mortgage payment each month,( so we lost the house) but ex was poisoning our children against me, and so I did not see them much!
-Finances got so bad that I could not eat, but that’s what happens when you have no money/food. That was a Sunday morning when I realized I would not be eating, pay day is on Friday. But I was up at 3 in the morning to go deliver doors down in Toronto all Day Monday, still nothing to eat. Tuesday Morning, Job or no Job, I used Company Credit Card to buy Breakfast, I was hungry.
-That was when I decided that the way I was raised, did not work anymore, you know, work hard, pay your own way in life, and enjoy a small portion that is left over! So I quit my job/paying child support,you see my children didn’t need my money, as they were living with her parents, who are well off ( nothing wrong in of itself, to being well off) but they needed me, their Father. After I quit, I was able to eat every Day, it was just some basic survival thinking, that kicked in, that’s all. I figured if I starved to death, that would not be good for me, or our children!
-This Divorce was hard on our Family Dog as well, you see, our Dog was part of our Family, she lived in the house with us. At ex’s parents house, she got to live in the garage, how sweet!
-I took a year off from Driving, was invited back to the “Ontario Court of INJUSTICE”, by, you guessed it, my ex-wife, you see, she wanted more of my money, so back to court we go.
-I have gotten passed the anger towards my ex-wife, I do feel sorry for her thou, but my anger is with the system that not only allowed all this to happen, but seemingly ,encouraged it!
-Hence the reason I have ran in 5 elections as an Independent, (3 Federal 2 Provincial)
-Fall of 2013, decide to start a Provincial Political Party.
So please check out the rest of our site, and my hope is that, before you leave this site, you will be convinced that we are the only Party that is truly interested in the Courts favourite phrase “The Best Interest of The Children”, which makes us the ONLY Party that is NOT SELF SERVING, and truly deserving of your support. Thank-you in advance for your time! And with your help, and God’s Blessing, may we be successful, in changing how “Family Law” works in this Province!
