Clayton Farms LTD


It was a cold tuesday morning, there was no clouds in sight just the bright sun gleaming in the distance. Great Grandpa and Great Grandma were building there homestead just outside of the tiny town of Maymont Saskatchewan. It was the year of 1905 when they came across from England. They made it to Saskatchewan in 1914. They first started out by building a little house that was at the edge of their property, then they built several buildings that they used to store stuff and hold there cows that they were eventually going to get. They built a house and had a child which is my Grandpa today. Eventually Great Grandpa passed away and so did Great Grandma did to. Grandpa sold the homestead and went off to build his own farm farther south.



By this time Grandpa got married to Grandma and they already had 4 kids. They built a house and a few out building buying a bunch of land and started his grain farming business. A few years passed by most of the kids have moved out and started their own life. His son decided he was going to stay back and help Grandpa out with the farm. As a few years passed by they got bigger and bigger they bought new equipment and more bins tons of fields. Grandpa the past few years have started selling his land to my dad so in the future dad can take over the farm and move on to the Farm.


In the future I think Derek will end up taking over the farm and keeping the Clayton legacy alive. I’m not really interested in the whole farming thing because I would like to have a steady income and know from day to day that i’m going to be able to pay the bills. Farming is just one big gamble and i’m not the gambling type. Clayton’s farm LTD will live on for another generation, but if you really think about it the odds of Derek having a wife and kids is about the same odds as Brock hooking up with Megan Fox so yeah you get it.

Canadian Bacon, The Portrayal of Canadians

In English class we watch the movie called Canadian Bacon. The movie portrayed Canadians as, Nice people, we have a clean country, and the CN tower is a bombing device to kill U.S. they think we talk really funny and we have weird province names. The U.S. are portrayed in this movie that their country is power hungry, they like war, and they eat a lot of KFC. Canadian Bacon was a good movie, there was tons of pun on words. The story was kind of jumping all over the place, but it still wasn't that hard to follow the story line. Overall this movie was a bad portrayal of Canada.
