Thursday, Dec 12 2013 Vote!

1) Is it the governments or the private companies responsibility to supply defibrillators in public places? First it was fire hoses, then sprinkler systems, then fire extinguishers, then first aid kids, then carbon monoxide detectors, then suicide prevention phones, now defibrillators.

Read this article: http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/defibrillators-may-be-hard-to-find-in-emergencies-cbc-investigation-1.2443853 and decide for yourself.

Also, you could read http://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/2011/10/13/bystanders_have_an_obligation_to_perform_cpr_physicians_say.html

We will be talking about this too (if it is voted for).

2) Unfair employer practices

Do you think that what the employer in this article does is illegal?
Does this sort of thing happen in your home country?
Did you know that this happens when someone doesn't pay their bill?
Can you think of other illegal employer practices that employees do not complain about because they would probably get fired? (I can, and it happened to me once.)

If you vote for this topic, please come to class with a short list of illegal company practices.


Happy Voting!

  1. I vote for the first one. I don't like waiters at all, bills scares me more than worms, you know... maybe not, but whatever. My vote goes for the defibrillators article.

    It should be reconsidered because our life is based on working.
