Apr 24 1928
The Supreme Court of Canada declares that though women are indeed legal "persons," they are nevertheless ineligible to serve in the Canadian Senate. The Court agreed that the term "person" applies equally to humans of both genders, but the British North America Act referred specifically to "fit and qualified persons" -- necessarily excluding unfit and unqualified people (aka females).

That was 78 years ago, we, aka females, have come a long way. Rosa Parks rode the Montgomery Bus 50 years ago.............

Today's Test Students

This test has only one question, but it is a very important one!!!
By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional(unfortunately) situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please read slowly and give due consideration to each line. No Cheating!!!!!


You are in Florida, Miami to be specfic. There is chaos all around you, caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of bibical proportions and you are a photo journalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless. You are about to shoot career-making photos.

There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all its distructive fury.

Suddenly, you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer, somehow the man looks familiar. It's George Bush!

At the same time, you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under.......forever.


You have two options :

You can save the life of G.W. Bush OR you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer.






Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
