Hi everyone. I will be posting information about homework, assignments, projects, and upcoming quizzes and tests on this blog. Please check the site on a regular basis to keep up to date. To my current students, if you have any questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail or post a comment. If there are any teachers that have any requests or questions, or if you want an invitation to the Alberta Social Studies Ning, please find my contact information under "View My Complete Profile".
social 10 : whats a franchise? what is a ward? jus a riding? what is enumeration? what do we need to know about perizou and bouchard? about the coat of arms.. do we just need to know general things? what exactly is canadas 100 days is that just when canada kinda led the war effort or something? thanx soo much ----------------------------------- I'll try to answer your questions now: The franchise is the ability/right to vote. A ward is the municipal equivalent of a riding. Enumeration is being counted/added to the voters' list. Please know that Jacques Parizeau and Lucien Bouchard at different times led the Parti Quebecois (Bouchard also led the BQ). Yes, know "general things" about Canada's coat of arms. Canada's "Hundred Days" was the final 100 days of fighting in WWI.
umm for the social 10 key concepts list at the botton of the politics and governmentlist on the right side what is the triple e senate or is that just a typo?
---------------------------------- No, that's not a typo. A Triple E Senate was an idea that was floated by the Reform party, basically the idea was to have an "equal, elected, effective" Senate (hence Triple E). This is in your textbook on page 36 in your textbook.
First Peoples means the same thing as Natives or Aboriginals. Primary industries are farming, fishing, forestry, mining. Secondary industries are manufacturing products (various types). Tertiary industries are service industries where products are sold. Quaternary industries are mostly research and development industries and government planning. If you know this, that's good enough.
Scrutineer is someone who supervises and examines results of an election. The political spectrum isn't too important in Social 10, don't worry about it too much.
Let's look at Question #17 from the first practice final.
Comment II: "Canadian interests have too often been trampled by other nations. Canada should not bear the cost of problems that other nations have created."
17. Comment II could best be used to support Canadian A. actions taken against foreign fishing vessels off the East Coast B. membership in the NAFTA C. participation in the United Nations' peacekeeping activities D. involvement in G7 summit conferences
Answer: A
Here's why: The comment is referring to "Canadian interests have too often been trampled by other nations". In this case, foreign fishing vessels encroaching on Canadian fishing waters. "C" doesn't work well because many times internal disputes in other countries have very little effect on Canadian interests.
Don't worry too much about the Ethiopian crisis. That comes up again in Social 30 though. That was a failure of the League of Nations (which you look at in Social 20 and Social 30). For your Social 10 Final Exam though it's probably not that important. Just know the information about it from the PowerPoint on the Interwar Years.
The Constitution determines how the government should run. We also inherit a lot of our parliamentary traditions from the British, these are unwritten customs, the so-called "unwritten Constitution". The Charter is just a part of the Constitution.
Don't spend too much time studying those regional political parties and their platforms. The key thing is to know that there have been in the past these Western based regional political parties and some the reasons why these parties formed (ie. the roots of Western alienation).
You should know a few examples of powers/areas of responsibilities that each level has. For example, the federal government has control over defence, currency, citizenship, taxation, etc. You should be able to list off each level's areas of responsibility.
Just know what topography is, including some examples of difference in topography between the various physiographic regions of Canada. For example, if you're given a physical description of one of the regions of Canada then you should be able to identify it.
I gave you a handout on "Protecting Human Rights in Alberta" which would have covered both the Individual Rights Protection Act and the Human Rights Commission. If you don't have that handout, maybe then copy and paste the following URL into address bar of your web borwser: http://www.albertahumanrights.ab.ca/publications/Information_Sheets/Text/Info_Evolution_HR_Law.asp
--------------------------------- Every province has an ombudsman. According the Alberta Ombudsman website "The Alberta Ombudsman determines administrative fairness. We respond to complaints of unfair treatment by provincial government authorities and professional organizations." It's another outlet for citizens to complain to.
what's nationhood and what's the difference between state and nation-state? also what was significant about Imperial War Cabinet Resolution IX if Canada already had "recognition as autonomous nation"? thanx..
the name War of Attrition is mostly due to the trench warfare in WWI. An army could gain 1 km one day and lose it the next. No sides actually gained any ground through days of battle. Think of war of attrition as a constant tug of war, where there is no clear winner.
so i am!! its ok, just dont be too panicked. just take it slow, and dont think of the test as a final HUGE test, and you will do fine. dont put alot of pressure on yourself!!!! good luck! :) :)
Canadians were sent to sicily, they joined the British Eighth under the direction of general Montgomery. THe plan was to trap German and Italian troops between the British Eighth Army and the US Seventh Army before they could escape to italy. Sicily fell quickly into allied hands. Many Germans and Itlaian soldiers were able to escape to itlay though bcause the Allied trap closed so slowly- this is all in WWII and there is more in the WWII power point Canada's COntribution in WWII- god that was long
MNA is Member of the National Assembly (what is a legislative body of the province of Quebec) and MLA is Member of the Legislative Assembly (exact same thing only in other provinces).
I think it'll be useful to know about Warsaw Pact, Cuban Missile Crisis, Suez Crisis, creation of the UNEmergencyForces(UNEF), communist(eastern) Europe and capitalist (western) Europe, and divided Berlin.
Can ANYBODY help me with this concepts, they are just freaking me out: nationhood, state, nation-state, cultural maitance, and self ligitamacy? thanks.
50. The main purpose of elections in a democracy is to allow electors to
A. replace their representatives in the legislature every five years B. become more familiar with national problems through campaigns C. acquaint themselves with their representatives through campaigns D. ensure that their views still coincide with those of their representatives
Meech Lake Accord is trying to bring Quebec into the "constitutional family" by granting some concessions to Quebec. Please see your notes/chart on the Meech Lake Accord and Charlottetwon Accord. Also, have a look at the PowerPoint on French-English Relations I think I mentioned it there too.
what is cultural maintinence and self ligitimacy? ---------------------------------- Please worry more about cultural identity, assimilation, and culutral protectionsim.
I think it'll be useful to know about Warsaw Pact, Cuban Missile Crisis, Suez Crisis, creation of the UNEmergencyForces(UNEF), communist(eastern) Europe and capitalist (western) Europe, and divided Berlin.
----------------------------------- Very good! You're anticipating potential questions!
50. The main purpose of elections in a democracy is to allow electors to
A. replace their representatives in the legislature every five years B. become more familiar with national problems through campaigns C. acquaint themselves with their representatives through campaigns D. ensure that their views still coincide with those of their representatives
---------------------------------- 50. D
Thanks for posting that question! I'll update the answer key now.
Can ANYBODY help me with this concepts, they are just freaking me out: nationhood, state, nation-state, cultural maitance, and self ligitamacy? thanks.
----------------------------------- State and nation-state are defined in the Canadian Sovereignty PowerPoint presentation. Check it out! As for "cultural maintenance" and "self-legitimacy", don't stress out about these too much. As I posted earlier they are not as important as some of the other concepts in that section.
Question 12: A class made several statements about Canada's population. 1) It is small, considering the size of the country. 2) It is concentrated along its southern border. 3) Over 50% of it is located in the smallest georgaphical region. 4) Scattered settlement is found in the Cental Plain region.
Canada's population is accurately described by statements A) 1,2,3 B) 1,2,4 C) 1,3,4 D) 2,3,4
I thought the answer is A 'cause 50 % of population is located in St. Lawrence Lowlands and it's the smallest geographical region but the answer key says its B. So what's the right one?
why 58 is D? Did the constitution of 1982 give the government power to suspend rights? or is it a typo? ---------------------------------- Yes, it did in a sense. In the Charter of Rights and Freedoms there is the section called the "notwithstanding clause". Does this term sound familiar? Basically it allows a government to disregard or override certain freedoms guaranteed in the Charter itself. Does that help?
i dont get what we need to know for identity all the stuff on our blueprint i cant even find?????????
----------------------------------- Don't stress about the Identity section too much. If you paid attention in class, and did okay on the Identity questions on the practice finals you should be fine on the Final Exam. It's mostly common sense.
Question 12: A class made several statements about Canada's population. 1) It is small, considering the size of the country. 2) It is concentrated along its southern border. 3) Over 50% of it is located in the smallest georgaphical region. 4) Scattered settlement is found in the Cental Plain region.

I thought the answer is A 'cause 50 % of population is located in St. Lawrence Lowlands and it's the smallest geographical region but the answer key says its B. So what's the right one?
7:26 PM
----------------------------------- I think that you're right. I'll change the answer on the key.
100th post i win! How much detail do we need to know about Canada's involvement in the UN and peacekeepng?
-------------------------------- I think I beat you to the 100th post. Study the PowerPoint presentation on "Canada's Role on the World Stage". I think that level of detail is sufficient.
Thank you soo much Mr. Gilchrist for an amazing year im sure everyone learned a tonne =) p.s. for every one comment of social 20's theres about 10 from social 10 good job
Ah! Does question 57 have an answer at all??? It says that various legislative acts achieved the following results 1 - repatriated the canadian constitution 2 - entrenched the CCRF 3 - gave the federal government power to suspend rights 4 - provided an amending formula for the constitution
And then t asks which points were achieved through the passage of the cocntitution act of 1982. possible answers: a - 1,2,3 b - 1,2,4 c - 1,3,4 d - 2,3,4. but all of them seem right! what's the trick? oh, i think i'm just too nervous...
for every one comment of social 20's theres about 10 from social 10 good job ----------------------------------- They will be more active tomorrow night because they write their final on Friday.
what is internationalism, is it close to multilateralism
7:44 PM ---------------------------------- Not really. Internationalism is sometimes used as a synonym for globalization. Multilateralism is several nations working together to achieve a goal or objective.

It would be B because the ability to suspend rights is the War Measures act

----------------------------------- I'm a bit guilty of this sometimes too. It just means that you know a lot. The answer is "B". Here's why: the government had the ability to suspend rights with the War Measures Act, which precedes the Charter of 1982. I think I would be tempted to over-analyze that one too and think about the "notwithstanding clause", but that's again over-analyzing.
------------------------------- Now it's my time to worry and get stressed out. The final is tomorrow from 1-3 pm. Expect a phone call from me if I don't see you in the Main Gym tomorrow!!

what do we need to know about trade and the european community ---------------------------------- Just that we need to trade because we don't have everything we need. We sometimes trade with Europe. On a similar note, know that we are a Pacfic Rim nation and our trade with this region is increasing. 'Nuff said.

8:02 PM
--------------------------------- The key must be wrong. I'm not going to change that key again. Just know what the correct answer is and why.
wat do we need to know about the war measures act and the emergencies act??its ahhh tottaly freaking out here people.. and ive run out of happy places to calm myself down.. *breathe*
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for citizen participation im so confused on the topics in it i dont think we went over that stuf ahhhhhhhhh HELP
----------------------------------- I kind of blend Citizenship into Politics and Government and Rights and Responsibilities. What specifically is giving you trouble?
wat do we need to know about the war measures act and the emergencies act??its ahhh tottaly freaking out here people.. and ive run out of happy places to calm myself down.. *breathe*
----------------------------------- Breathing into a brown paper bag sometimes helps. Here's the answer to your question: Know when and why the WMA was used. Know that the Emergencies Act replaced it. Know the differences between these two pieces of legislation. Specifically think of the cases studies that we did regarding the WMA: the internment of Japanese-Canadians in WWII and the FLQ Crisis in 1970.
Mr. Gilchrist, this is not really that important for the test. But I am wondering why Canada would not take in the Jewish people during the holocaust? Did that mean by taking them in that Canada could potentially get pulled into the war BY the germans?
the differences are they just like that the emergencies act suspends at different levels for different kinds of emergencies and has to be like reviewed by parliament? while the wma just takes it all without consulting anyone???
Mr. Gilchrist, this is not really that important for the test. But I am wondering why Canada would not take in the Jewish people during the holocaust? Did that mean by taking them in that Canada could potentially get pulled into the war BY the germans?
8:09 PM
----------------------------------- Actually there were Jewish refugees prior to the war, but not so many during WWII. By the time war had officially begun in 1939, few Jews could escape from Nazi held territory in Europe. Anti-Semitism wasn't only in existence in Nazi Germany, but elsewhere too. And you're right, you DON'T have to worry about this for the test.
---------------------------------- On another note, we're giving my son a bath and putting him to bed, so I'm taking a break for awhile. Keep posting questions and comments and I'll get to them.
what exactly is the war measures act??? i know that it was replaced by the emergencies act but i am really confused!!!!!!
8:12 PM ----------------------------------- You have a whole reading package on this topic. If you don't understand that, read your textbook on this topic, if you don't understand that then check Wikipedia, if you still don't understand it I'm wondering why you didn't come to tutorial to ask me about it....
Thw WMA was passed in WWI. It gave the government sweeping powers to suspend people's rights during times of war or crisis. It was used in WWI, WWII, and in 1970. Does that help?
the war measures act is basically an act that allows the government to have more power during times of crisis such as the world wars and the flq.. it was carried out by an order in council and usually affects the whole of canada.. during the implementation of these acts many freedoms from the CCRF can be taken away temporarily..
breathe.. take a deep breath and let it out nice and easy.. go take a hot shower.. eat some chocolate.. oo that reminds me.. eat chocolate before the exam ppl.. more brain power.. sorta.. just more energy so ur not so tired..even if it doesnt work.. its definitely worth a try ;)
what are legal/ moral/ social/ political resposibilities? are they just that u shud vote, be kind and respectful, obey the law, dont be blackhead on the societal visage and things like that??
ok so.. The BNA Act protected the citizens of the rights by custom only? and when Canada repatriates the constitution it adds the CCRF? so the Bill of Rights was always there was it not?
The Bill of Rights was created in 1960. Before it the basic rights were protected only by custom. From 1982, those rights are protected by CCRF. The Charter also says that "rights previously established" remain (such as right on private property in the Bill of Rights). The difference between those two laws is that CCRF is part of the constituation and Bill is just a law by itself (this is why civil rights were taken away during the FLQ crisis). Hope it'll help. Good luck on exam!
Military conscirption means that citizens of certain gender and age have to join military forces when the government asks them to do so. It was first inforced during WWI by PM Robert Borden and divided Canada for Francophones didn't want to fight overseas. This became known as the Conscription Crisis of 1917.
for wars and major events should we know who the prime minsiters were in canada at the time?
----------------------------------- Definitely know which PM was in power during WWI (Borden) and WWII (King), and maybe some other key events, for exmaple, Trudeau's government repatriates the Constitution. But don't spend too much time on this.
Mr Gilchrist this was already asked but what do we need to know for the YOA and the YCJA?
9:18 PM ----------------------------------- I didn't answer that question before. It sounded like someone wanted to know if they needed to study it or not. Know a little bit about both topics, just in case.
i dont get this part for the outline--- select an example from each factor for discussion: demographic factors socioeconomic " cultural " geographical "
probably know dieppe, d day tho i dont know if that wud count, the take over of poland, dunkirk.. i think thats about it. unless u want to count ortona.. but i dont know about that..
probably know dieppe, d day tho i dont know if that wud count, the take over of poland, dunkirk.. i think thats about it. unless u want to count ortona.. but i dont know about that.. ---------------------------------- Know about Dieppe and D-Day and of course Canada's contribution to WWII. Don't worry too much about Dunkirk and Ortona.
31. After the class begged Mr. Gilchrist, he decided to postpone the test until the next day because most students had watched the previous evening's election results instead of studying was based on the decision-making process of
A. using influence B. using negotiation C. reaching a consensus D. reaching a compromise
Suez Canal: Mr Gilchrist said in class the origins weren't important. Basically there was a war between Egypt and Israel, and the British and French took control of the canal to keep shipping going. The important thing was Lester B. Pearson suggested the creation of military forces for the UN to maintain peace at Suez. He got a Nobel Prize for that.
do we need to no how the suez crisis started and if so how? ----------------------------- Just know the information as it is in the PowerPoint presentation "Canada's Role on the International Stage" and that would be enough I would think.
the answer key is posted further up in the comments, and for the Suez Crisis i think all we need to know is that Pearson was minister of foreign affairs and he created the UNEF. (plus what the guy said above)
I am not part of your class however i would like to take the time to thank you for lending a helping hand with your amazing resources to study with. Our teacher spent weeks on wars and the regionalism unit had to be self done.
Thanks
I am protected by free speech in Charter of rights, which we also did not study

haha.. now we sound like we should be wearing grass skirts and dancing around a flame waving pointy sticks which will inevitably poke someones eye out and they there will be a lot of blood, eye mess and puke on the ground.. a highly entertaining end to an otherwise mundane meeting.. :)
i was thinking of some roasted marshmallows too...they taste really good...maybe on those flame waving pointy sticks? that way if they hit someone's eye, it won't hurt, it will just be really sticky.
sweet.. i have yet to try a perfectly toasted marshmallow.. i have the attention span of a teaspoon so i kinda forget that i have the thing in mi hand until that burnt smell kinda wafts up.. fun!! good night!!
there's only 1 battle of Ypres thats important: the site of the world's first gas attack... unless you're including the battle of Passchendaele (which is also called a battle of Ypres).
what is going on, lets get back on topic. The test tomorrow 47. The concept of citizenship is best defined as the
A. desire to become a member of society B. role that the individual plays in the political system C. way in which the government protects the individual D. electoral district from which a representative is elected

thanx soo much
-----------------------------------
I'll try to answer your questions now:
The franchise is the ability/right to vote. A ward is the municipal equivalent of a riding. Enumeration is being counted/added to the voters' list. Please know that Jacques Parizeau and Lucien Bouchard at different times led the Parti Quebecois (Bouchard also led the BQ). Yes, know "general things" about Canada's coat of arms. Canada's "Hundred Days" was the final 100 days of fighting in WWI.
umm for the social 10 key concepts list at the botton of the politics and governmentlist on the right side what is the triple e senate or is that just a typo?
----------------------------------
No, that's not a typo. A Triple E Senate was an idea that was floated by the Reform party, basically the idea was to have an "equal, elected, effective" Senate (hence Triple E). This is in your textbook on page 36 in your textbook.
thanx
our test is from 1-3
when should I be there so im not late?
Who are the First people?
What is primary, secondary, tertiary industries and what we should know about them?
can't find these concepts: political spectrum and scrutineer. thanks so much.
what Canada-US agreements do we need to know (like Auto Pact and FTA)? What role did general Byng play during WWI???
im just wondering about the test.
why is number 17 a? i put c
byng was the leader of the canadians at vimy ridge
primary industry is mainly extraction of resources
secondary is manufacturing
tertiary is sales and marketing of goods
scrutineer is someone who watches the ballots being counted and makes sure the rules of counting the ballots are being followed.
9:42 a.m. comment:
Please come to the Main Gym/Main Foyer area about 15-20 minutes ahead of time.
First Peoples means the same thing as Natives or Aboriginals. Primary industries are farming, fishing, forestry, mining. Secondary industries are manufacturing products (various types). Tertiary industries are service industries where products are sold. Quaternary industries are mostly research and development industries and government planning. If you know this, that's good enough.
Scrutineer is someone who supervises and examines results of an election. The political spectrum isn't too important in Social 10, don't worry about it too much.
The FTA and NAFTA would be some economic agreements between Canada and the USA. Also know about military/defense arrangements: NATO and NORAD.
do we need to know ethiopian crisis and if so what do we need to know about it??
Let's look at Question #17 from the first practice final.
Comment II: "Canadian interests have too often been trampled by other nations. Canada should not bear the cost of problems that other nations have created."
17. Comment II could best be used to support Canadian
A. actions taken against foreign fishing vessels off the East Coast
B. membership in the NAFTA
C. participation in the United Nations' peacekeeping activities
D. involvement in G7 summit conferences
Answer: A
Here's why: The comment is referring to "Canadian interests have too often been trampled by other nations". In this case, foreign fishing vessels encroaching on Canadian fishing waters. "C" doesn't work well because many times internal disputes in other countries have very little effect on Canadian interests.
Don't worry too much about the Ethiopian crisis. That comes up again in Social 30 though. That was a failure of the League of Nations (which you look at in Social 20 and Social 30). For your Social 10 Final Exam though it's probably not that important. Just know the information about it from the PowerPoint on the Interwar Years.
k, thanx
what is the difference between NAFTA and FTA?
The FTA included only Canada and the USA. NAFTA includes Canada the USA and Mexico.
in the key concept list it says, "GATT (WTO)"
what is WTO?
thanx
is it this, tht if an amendment is to be made to the constitution, at least 7 out of the 10 provinces have to agree or is that something else?
WTO is World Trade Organization. It basically replaced the GATT. Just know that Canada is a member of the WTO.
12:52 comment: You just described the part of the amending formula for the Canadian Constitution.
thank u so much
mr. gilchrist can you post the answers to Practice Final#2 earlier today so we could ask questions about it? it'll be greatly appreciated.
Does the CCRF determine how the government would run the country? I thought it is determined by the whole constitution.
I think it should be the whole constitution, the CCRF is only a part of the constitution
how well do we need to know the policies of the different parties of the western alienation thing?
The Constitution determines how the government should run. We also inherit a lot of our parliamentary traditions from the British, these are unwritten customs, the so-called "unwritten Constitution". The Charter is just a part of the Constitution.
Don't spend too much time studying those regional political parties and their platforms. The key thing is to know that there have been in the past these Western based regional political parties and some the reasons why these parties formed (ie. the roots of Western alienation).
What do we need to know about the division of power between the federal, provincial and municipal governments?
in the key concepts list it mentions topography, what do we need to know about it?
what is universal suffrage?
thanx
You should know a few examples of powers/areas of responsibilities that each level has. For example, the federal government has control over defence, currency, citizenship, taxation, etc. You should be able to list off each level's areas of responsibility.
Universal suffrage means that everyone over the age of 18 who is a citizen of the country has the right to vote.
what is the individual rights protection act?
and human rights comission?
also an "ombudsmen"?
im sorry its so much im just
comfused on these things.
Just know what topography is, including some examples of difference in topography between the various physiographic regions of Canada. For example, if you're given a physical description of one of the regions of Canada then you should be able to identify it.
I gave you a handout on "Protecting Human Rights in Alberta" which would have covered both the Individual Rights Protection Act and the Human Rights Commission. If you don't have that handout, maybe then copy and paste the following URL into address bar of your web borwser:
http://www.albertahumanrights.ab.ca/publications/Information_Sheets/Text/Info_Evolution_HR_Law.asp

Every province has an ombudsman. According the Alberta Ombudsman website "The Alberta Ombudsman determines administrative fairness. We respond to complaints of unfair treatment by provincial government authorities and professional organizations." It's another outlet for citizens to complain to.
What should we know about Emergencies Act and Young Offenders/Youth Criminal Justice Act? Thanks.
Booklets on all three acts are too informative.
what's nationhood and what's the difference between state and nation-state? also what was significant about Imperial War Cabinet Resolution IX if Canada already had "recognition as autonomous nation"? thanx..
what do we need to know form the cold war??? it does not really say in the blue print
what is war of attrition?
thanx
In 1916 (2 years before the end), WWI seemed to go on forever hence "war of attrition".
war of attrition is when you just wait and wait until you got more guys than the other side. basically, you wait for numbers to show
o ok
Attrition means the gradual wearing down of something. War of attrition means fighting until one side has no more resources to put into the fight.
the name War of Attrition is mostly due to the trench warfare in WWI. An army could gain 1 km one day and lose it the next. No sides actually gained any ground through days of battle. Think of war of attrition as a constant tug of war, where there is no clear winner.

Mr. Gilchrist when will you post the answers to Social Practice Final#2?
Can you post the answers to the second practice final, please? Thanks.
when will we know our final exam mark?
Canadians were sent to sicily, they joined the British Eighth under the direction of general Montgomery. THe plan was to trap German and Italian troops between the British Eighth Army and the US Seventh Army before they could escape to italy. Sicily fell quickly into allied hands. Many Germans and Itlaian soldiers were able to escape to itlay though bcause the Allied trap closed so slowly- this is all in WWII and there is more in the WWII power point Canada's COntribution in WWII- god that was long

PEOPLE WHAT DO WE HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT THE COLD WAR?!!!besides the kora thing, NATO and NORAD...thank you!
I think it'll be useful to know about Warsaw Pact, Cuban Missile Crisis, Suez Crisis, creation of the UNEmergencyForces(UNEF), communist(eastern) Europe and capitalist (western) Europe, and divided Berlin.
THANX!!! but all of that is in the cold war?!
Yep. But all this information is provided in the cold war presentation that you can access on the blog. Good luck!
loool!!!THANK YOU!!
Can ANYBODY help me with this concepts, they are just freaking me out:
nationhood, state, nation-state, cultural maitance, and self ligitamacy? thanks.
can u post the 2nd practice final answers?
do we need to know any specific facts and numbers for the final?
mr. gilchrist?
Resolution IX gave Canada recognition as an autonomus nation, details of autonomy had to be worked out after WWI.
Study the Cold War PowerPoint that is probably enough.
50. The main purpose of elections in a democracy is to allow electors to
A. replace their representatives in the legislature every five years
B. become more familiar with national problems through campaigns
C. acquaint themselves with their representatives through campaigns
D. ensure that their views still coincide with those of their representatives
Meech Lake Accord is trying to bring Quebec into the "constitutional family" by granting some concessions to Quebec. Please see your notes/chart on the Meech Lake Accord and Charlottetwon Accord. Also, have a look at the PowerPoint on French-English Relations I think I mentioned it there too.
why 58 is D? Did the constitution of 1982 give the government power to suspend rights? or is it a typo?
what is cultural maintinence and self ligitimacy?
----------------------------------
Please worry more about cultural identity, assimilation, and culutral protectionsim.
I think it'll be useful to know about Warsaw Pact, Cuban Missile Crisis, Suez Crisis, creation of the UNEmergencyForces(UNEF), communist(eastern) Europe and capitalist (western) Europe, and divided Berlin.
-----------------------------------
Very good! You're anticipating potential questions!
The Korean War, NATO and NORAD would also be useful for the Cold War. Remember...big concepts, big ideas.

50. D
Thanks for posting that question! I'll update the answer key now.
Attrition means the gradual wearing down of something. War of attrition means fighting until one side has no more resources to put into the fight.
-----------------------------------
Absolutely correct! You've got it!
Can ANYBODY help me with this concepts, they are just freaking me out:
nationhood, state, nation-state, cultural maitance, and self ligitamacy? thanks.
-----------------------------------
State and nation-state are defined in the Canadian Sovereignty PowerPoint presentation. Check it out! As for "cultural maintenance" and "self-legitimacy", don't stress out about these too much. As I posted earlier they are not as important as some of the other concepts in that section.
As for nationhood, think of it as another way of saying nation, and you'll be fine.
Question 12:
A class made several statements about Canada's population.
1) It is small, considering the size of the country.
2) It is concentrated along its southern border.
3) Over 50% of it is located in the smallest georgaphical region.
4) Scattered settlement is found in the Cental Plain region.
Canada's population is accurately described by statements
A) 1,2,3
B) 1,2,4
C) 1,3,4
D) 2,3,4
I thought the answer is A 'cause 50 % of population is located in St. Lawrence Lowlands and it's the smallest geographical region but the answer key says its B. So what's the right one?
i dont get what we need to know for identity all the stuff on our blueprint i cant even find?????????
why 58 is D? Did the constitution of 1982 give the government power to suspend rights? or is it a typo?
----------------------------------
Yes, it did in a sense. In the Charter of Rights and Freedoms there is the section called the "notwithstanding clause". Does this term sound familiar? Basically it allows a government to disregard or override certain freedoms guaranteed in the Charter itself. Does that help?
do we need to know any specific facts and numbers for the final?
6:53 PM
----------------------------------
Probably unavoidable. Afterall dates are numbers. Knowing someone's name is a fact.
mr. gilchrist?
6:58 PM
----------------------------------
Yes?
i dont get what we need to know for identity all the stuff on our blueprint i cant even find?????????
-----------------------------------
Don't stress about the Identity section too much. If you paid attention in class, and did okay on the Identity questions on the practice finals you should be fine on the Final Exam. It's mostly common sense.

--------------------------------
I think I beat you to the 100th post. Study the PowerPoint presentation on "Canada's Role on the World Stage". I think that level of detail is sufficient.
Thank you soo much Mr. Gilchrist for an amazing year im sure everyone learned a tonne =)
p.s. for every one comment of social 20's theres about 10 from social 10
good job
what is internationalism, is it close to multilateralism
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for citizen participation im so confused on the topics in it i dont think we went over that stuf ahhhhhhhhh
HELP
Ah! Does question 57 have an answer at all??? It says that various legislative acts achieved the following results
1 - repatriated the canadian constitution
2 - entrenched the CCRF
3 - gave the federal government power to suspend rights
4 - provided an amending formula for the constitution
And then t asks which points were achieved through the passage of the cocntitution act of 1982. possible answers:
a - 1,2,3
b - 1,2,4
c - 1,3,4
d - 2,3,4.
but all of them seem right! what's the trick? oh, i think i'm just too nervous...
The powerpoints with the vocalising helped alot. Thankyou for takeing the time and effort to do this.

They will be more active tomorrow night because they write their final on Friday.
what is internationalism, is it close to multilateralism
7:44 PM
----------------------------------
Not really. Internationalism is sometimes used as a synonym for globalization. Multilateralism is several nations working together to achieve a goal or objective.

but all of them seem right! what's the trick? oh, i think i'm just too nervous...
It would be B because the ability to suspend rights is the War Measures act
basic limits on rights are just that they cant harm other people right??
is the final tomorrow morning or afternoon?
what do we need to know about trade and the european community
afternoon 1-3 i think
k thanks

-----------------------------------
I'm a bit guilty of this sometimes too. It just means that you know a lot. The answer is "B". Here's why: the government had the ability to suspend rights with the War Measures Act, which precedes the Charter of 1982. I think I would be tempted to over-analyze that one too and think about the "notwithstanding clause", but that's again over-analyzing.
is the final tomorrow morning or afternoon?
7:56 PM
-------------------------------
Now it's my time to worry and get stressed out. The final is tomorrow from 1-3 pm. Expect a phone call from me if I don't see you in the Main Gym tomorrow!!

--------------------
yeah but in the answer key it says: 58D, not 58B. so is it some sort of insane question???????
what do we need to know about trade and the european community
----------------------------------
Just that we need to trade because we don't have everything we need. We sometimes trade with Europe. On a similar note, know that we are a Pacfic Rim nation and our trade with this region is increasing. 'Nuff said.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for citizen participation im so confused on the topics in it i dont think we went over that stuf ahhhhhhhhh

The key must be wrong. I'm not going to change that key again. Just know what the correct answer is and why.
wat do we need to know about the war measures act and the emergencies act??its ahhh tottaly freaking out here people.. and ive run out of happy places to calm myself down.. *breathe*
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for citizen participation im so confused on the topics in it i dont think we went over that stuf ahhhhhhhhh
HELP
-----------------------------------
I kind of blend Citizenship into Politics and Government and Rights and Responsibilities. What specifically is giving you trouble?
wat do we need to know about the war measures act and the emergencies act??its ahhh tottaly freaking out here people.. and ive run out of happy places to calm myself down.. *breathe*
-----------------------------------
Breathing into a brown paper bag sometimes helps. Here's the answer to your question:
Know when and why the WMA was used. Know that the Emergencies Act replaced it. Know the differences between these two pieces of legislation. Specifically think of the cases studies that we did regarding the WMA: the internment of Japanese-Canadians in WWII and the FLQ Crisis in 1970.
Mr. Gilchrist, this is not really that important for the test. But I am wondering why Canada would not take in the Jewish people during the holocaust? Did that mean by taking them in that Canada could potentially get pulled into the war BY the germans?
what exactly is the war measures act??? i know that it was replaced by the emergencies act but i am really confused!!!!!!
the differences are they just like that the emergencies act suspends at different levels for different kinds of emergencies and has to be like reviewed by parliament? while the wma just takes it all without consulting anyone???
Mr. Gilchrist, this is not really that important for the test. But I am wondering why Canada would not take in the Jewish people during the holocaust? Did that mean by taking them in that Canada could potentially get pulled into the war BY the germans?
8:09 PM
-----------------------------------
Actually there were Jewish refugees prior to the war, but not so many during WWII. By the time war had officially begun in 1939, few Jews could escape from Nazi held territory in Europe. Anti-Semitism wasn't only in existence in Nazi Germany, but elsewhere too. And you're right, you DON'T have to worry about this for the test.
----------------------------------
On another note, we're giving my son a bath and putting him to bed, so I'm taking a break for awhile. Keep posting questions and comments and I'll get to them.
what exactly is the war measures act??? i know that it was replaced by the emergencies act but i am really confused!!!!!!
8:12 PM
-----------------------------------
You have a whole reading package on this topic. If you don't understand that, read your textbook on this topic, if you don't understand that then check Wikipedia, if you still don't understand it I'm wondering why you didn't come to tutorial to ask me about it....
Thw WMA was passed in WWI. It gave the government sweeping powers to suspend people's rights during times of war or crisis. It was used in WWI, WWII, and in 1970. Does that help?
the war measures act is basically an act that allows the government to have more power during times of crisis such as the world wars and the flq.. it was carried out by an order in council and usually affects the whole of canada.. during the implementation of these acts many freedoms from the CCRF can be taken away temporarily..
OOHHH! thank you soo much! that helped me alot. :):)
i'm so scared for the exam i feel like i've studied all that i can but i still... aahhh
for minority language do we just need to know that you can be educated in both official languages?
when was the indian act formed?and do we need a lot on native rights?
oh my goodness. you know soo much about everything. i didnt there was more than what i have studied!!
breathe.. take a deep breath and let it out nice and easy.. go take a hot shower.. eat some chocolate.. oo that reminds me.. eat chocolate before the exam ppl.. more brain power.. sorta.. just more energy so ur not so tired..even if it doesnt work.. its definitely worth a try ;)
what are legal/ moral/ social/ political resposibilities? are they just that u shud vote, be kind and respectful, obey the law, dont be blackhead on the societal visage and things like that??
sory to freak u out.. :(
dont even worry about it. i like that chocolate idea.. haha.
what do we need to know about the youth criminal justice act young offenders act
ok so..
The BNA Act protected the citizens of the rights by custom only?
and when Canada repatriates the constitution it adds the CCRF?
so the Bill of Rights was always there was it not?
The Bill of Rights was created in 1960. Before it the basic rights were protected only by custom. From 1982, those rights are protected by CCRF. The Charter also says that "rights previously established" remain (such as right on private property in the Bill of Rights). The difference between those two laws is that CCRF is part of the constituation and Bill is just a law by itself (this is why civil rights were taken away during the FLQ crisis). Hope it'll help. Good luck on exam!
what is conscription/
waht do we need to know about the YOA and YCJA
Military conscirption means that citizens of certain gender and age have to join military forces when the government asks them to do so. It was first inforced during WWI by PM Robert Borden and divided Canada for Francophones didn't want to fight overseas. This became known as the Conscription Crisis of 1917.
what is conscription
-------------------------------
It means to be drafted into military service.
excuse me mr. gilchrist, what are francophones and anglophones?
who was the hottest girl in our
social class?
francophone- someone who speaks french. anglophone- someone who speaks english
who asked that about the hottest girl? why would you ask that here?
ok. THANKSSSSS
me haha
jeez laweez. haha.
Okay, that was weird.
for wars and major events should we know who the prime minsiters were in canada at the time?
Mr Gilchrist this was already asked but what do we need to know for the YOA and the YCJA?
as in im the hot one.. just kidding..
for wars and major events should we know who the prime minsiters were in canada at the time?
-----------------------------------
Definitely know which PM was in power during WWI (Borden) and WWII (King), and maybe some other key events, for exmaple, Trudeau's government repatriates the Constitution. But don't spend too much time on this.
Mr Gilchrist this was already asked but what do we need to know for the YOA and the YCJA?
9:18 PM
-----------------------------------
I didn't answer that question before. It sounded like someone wanted to know if they needed to study it or not. Know a little bit about both topics, just in case.
Alright, thanks, because it isn't even said on the blueprint you sent.
okay thanks so much.
i dont get this part for the outline---
select an example from each factor for discussion:
demographic factors
socioeconomic "
cultural "
geographical "
where is this??
Hey which battles from WW2 do we need to know about?
probably know dieppe, d day tho i dont know if that wud count, the take over of poland, dunkirk.. i think thats about it. unless u want to count ortona.. but i dont know about that..
you missed the BIG one: Juno! Its probably the most important 1 of those too.
hey thanks whoever that was
probably know dieppe, d day tho i dont know if that wud count, the take over of poland, dunkirk.. i think thats about it. unless u want to count ortona.. but i dont know about that..
----------------------------------
Know about Dieppe and D-Day and of course Canada's contribution to WWII. Don't worry too much about Dunkirk and Ortona.
31. After the class begged Mr. Gilchrist, he decided to postpone the test until the next day because most students had watched the previous evening's election results instead of studying was based on the decision-making process of
A. using influence
B. using negotiation
C. reaching a consensus
D. reaching a compromise
Where was the compromise in this question?
I'd guess he compromised with the extra day. The class would probably prefer no test at all. Its okay, I screwed up that question too.
around how many dated do we need to know?
do we need to no how the suez crisis started and if so how?
all the major things like bills and things on the way to sovreignty..basically.. i think
kool thanks
Suez Canal: Mr Gilchrist said in class the origins weren't important. Basically there was a war between Egypt and Israel, and the British and French took control of the canal to keep shipping going. The important thing was Lester B. Pearson suggested the creation of military forces for the UN to maintain peace at Suez. He got a Nobel Prize for that.

-----------------------------
Just know the information as it is in the PowerPoint presentation "Canada's Role on the International Stage" and that would be enough I would think.
the answer key is posted further up in the comments, and for the Suez Crisis i think all we need to know is that Pearson was minister of foreign affairs and he created the UNEF. (plus what the guy said above)
UNEF stands for United Nations Emergency Forces.
hey Mr gilchrist,
I am not part of your class however i would like to take the time to thank you for lending a helping hand with your amazing resources to study with. Our teacher spent weeks on wars and the regionalism unit had to be self done.
Thanks
I am protected by free speech in Charter of rights, which we also did not study
word of advice.. dont bite the lead on your pencils

Uh-oh we've got a spy.
WHO WENT AGAINST THE GILCHRIST TRIBES AND RELEASED THE RESOURCES TO THE PUBLIC!
haha.. now we sound like we should be wearing grass skirts and dancing around a flame waving pointy sticks which will inevitably poke someones eye out and they there will be a lot of blood, eye mess and puke on the ground.. a highly entertaining end to an otherwise mundane meeting.. :)
i was thinking of some roasted marshmallows too...they taste really good...maybe on those flame waving pointy sticks? that way if they hit someone's eye, it won't hurt, it will just be really sticky.
why is 22 b? we dont share borders with many countries
do we have to know all 4 battles ofr Yprès?
sweet.. i have yet to try a perfectly toasted marshmallow.. i have the attention span of a teaspoon so i kinda forget that i have the thing in mi hand until that burnt smell kinda wafts up.. fun!! good night!!
good luck tomorrow everyone, vk is signing off. i love how we outcommented the 20s 194-14. can you say owned?
there's only 1 battle of Ypres thats important: the site of the world's first gas attack... unless you're including the battle of Passchendaele (which is also called a battle of Ypres).
ypres is only one battle out of 4: namely passchendaele, vimy ridge, the somme and ypres
yea but 22 refers to canadian diversity as in within canada..thats mi gues anyway
OWNED!!!
hey,
what is going on, lets get back on topic. The test tomorrow
47. The concept of citizenship is best defined as the
A. desire to become a member of society
B. role that the individual plays in the political system
C. way in which the government protects the individual
D. electoral district from which a representative is elected
why couldnt be A
What?? NEITHER Somme and Vimy were battles of Ypres. They were in completely different areas.
because being a citezen you are already a member of society and therefore its redundant... i think
citizen means that they can do stuff in political system. Anyone can become member of society without registering to be citizen
