Week 9 Themes

Well folks - we are in the final stretch.

You can use this week to reflect on broader learnings we have gained throughout the course or focus on news specific events that have dominated the headlines recently (and there have been a lot!).

Useful videos to review

These are great links - 3 mins. or less and cover the main points of Canadian government. Useful to review when preparing for exams, or as you work through your projects.

Week 8 Themes

We're almost there - keep plugging away.
Themes this week sadly  include another bombing in London.  What global force can stop these acts of terror?
Also as we discussed in class, the minimum wage was raised to $15.  What implications does this have? Find some proof or statements from people to back up your statement.  What are some of the pros and cons of raising employees salaries?
Also feel free to find your own political topics to discuss in this thread.
Remember to keep working at your final project.
