25、y countries have a holiday to celebrate workers rights on or around May 1, but Labour Day in Canada is celebrated on the first Monday of September. Canadas Labour Day was 1 celebrated in the spring but it was moved to the fall after 1894. The origins of Labour Day can be traced back to April 15, 187

26、2, when the Toronto Trades Assembly organized Canadas first significant 2for workers rights. The aim was to release the 24 leaders of the Toronto Typographical Union who were imprisoned for 3to campaign for a nine-hour working day.

There was 7public support for the demonstration and the au

28、thorities could no longer deny the important 8that the trade unions had to play in the 9Canadian democratic society. A few months later, a similar demonstration was organized in Ottawa and passed the house of Canadas first prime minister, Sir John Macdonald. Later in the day, he appeared before the

29、gathering and promised to 10all Canadian laws against trade unions. This happened in the same year and eventually led to the founding of the Canadian Labour Congress in 1883.

32、or two weeks are over. (2)But it will be a long time before this desert community puts behind it, if it ever does, what happened in an instant on a sunny Saturday morning in front of a supermarket. (3)On that day, at La Toscana Village strip mall, I peered past the police tape at the blood-smeared s

33、idewalk and the covered bodies of the victims. I knew I had to focus and ask questions. I had to file a story. But I also had to stop for a minute to process my breaking heart. (4)Nineteen people, including a 9-year-old girl, a federal judge and a member of Congress, had just been gunned down in my

34、home town. (5)In the past more than 25 years, I have seen the unspeakable many times. I wrote about the slaughter of 32 students inside their Virginia Tech classrooms. I reported on the random shootings of 13 people in the Washington area by two snipers (狙击手). I have covered countless murders of you

35、ths on the streets of the District. (6)But I never expected to see this kind of tragedy here in my safe haven.

36、t, amid the cholla and ocotillo cactus. Here I breathed the clean desert air, especially intoxicating after a rain, filled with the fragrance of creosote and sage.

The place where residents have felt safe doesnt feel quite so safe anymore. Insecurity creeps in. Anxieties

39、 rise. (9)I was here on the morning of the shootings visiting my mother, who moved to Tucson with my father in the 1950s. A childhood friend called to tell us shed heard that Giffords had just been shot. I called The Post and then, on instinct, as if I were still on the D.C. crime beat, raced to the

40、 scenejust two miles away. (10)In the days that followed, my home town was transformed into a national media spectacle, complete with a camera-ready headline: Tragedy in Tucson. Famous television anchors flew in and set up with my beloved Santa Catalina Mountains as their backdrop. Reporting the sto

41、ry was strange. It felt uncomfortable calling old friends for help and reaching out to Giffordss rabbi, whom Id known since she was a teenager, to urge her to share her experience at the lawmakers bedside. (11)Growth and development had long ago changed Tucson. At the end of roads where there was on

42、ce only desert, there are expensive sprawling homes, luxury resorts and strip malls, like the one where Jared Loughner pulled out his Glock 19. Making my way around Tucson, a flood of childhood memories came back, but now superimposed on them were images from the bloodbath. (12)So, too, it is with t
