2003 Blackout




Whenever we talk about the hate for Canada all I think of is the blackout of 2003. We were young when this happened so we probably do not remember everything about what happened. In 2003 most of the power was off in most of the east coast. I remember two things about this day, one Canada got all of the blame. When I was little EVERYONE blamed Canada for what happened. It made them the butt of every joke around my area. Something fails? It is Canada's fault. This and South Park are the reasons around me had a negative thought of Canada. The other item I remember about the Blackout is that it was the lowest crime day in 25 years. I remember hearing this fact and it shocking me. Knowing the human race and how we can go crazy in certain situations. The whole situation reminds me of the Dark Knight and the ferry part and how the human race is not completely awful.
