 * Your first task is to simply find an article and read it. I suggest you read it at least twice. __Also, you must look for other articles (2-3)__ to support and challenge the initial article. You could do a search for similar articles here in Canada and throughout the world.**
 * 1) the article title
 * 2) the date of the article
 * 3) the section of the site you found it in. For example, world news, sports or local community could all be sections of a website or newspaper.
