This past Christmas I went out to Hines Creek to spend a couple of days with my girlfriend’s family. This was by no means something that I freely chose. A close friend of mine had a Christmas party planned for the same weekend that my girl friend wanted to visit her parents. I was very excited about attending my friend’s party because the year before I had attended his annual Christmas party and had a great time.

In summary we Canadians enjoy living in a free society. However our lives are still influenced by our surroundings and this can affect our freedom. My voluntary freedoms are affected when it comes to my personal life when it deals with my girlfriend, dogs, friends or family and how interaction with them determines how I act. My involuntary freedoms are affected when rules affect my freedom such as laws that make me have to have insurance or have to wear seatbelt to legally have my car on the road. Therefore everyone’s freedom is limited voluntarily and involuntarily leading me to the conclusion that as Canadians, we are not as free as we believe we are.

Then having to watch them eat to make sure the Jack Russell doesn’t steal the Bichon’s food. With this done now, I am able to start off my own day. This routine goes on through the day where I have to feed them again in the evening and take them outside three more times. It’s like having children, where I can never go out for more then a few hours or go on a holiday unless I find someone to look after them. My freedom is voluntarily affected by the dogs because they are my kids and I usually don’t mind putting their needs above my own.
