Rainchild. Go search Ypres on Wikipedia or battle of Ypres and you will find there are 4. Passchendaele is one. and Ypres is another. You listed the battles we have to know

Citizenship is the duty you have as a citizen to participate in greater society, which includes the political process. For example, good citizens volunteer and help one another. Bad ones just care about themselves.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

What?? NEITHER Somme and Vimy were battles of Ypres. They were in completely different areas.
---------------------------------
Ypres is in Belgium. Passchendaele is close to the original Ypres lines. I TAUGHT it to you as Passchendaele, so don't confuse yourselves!!

-----------------------------------
I'm not "avoiding you". Looking at the clock it's 10:34 p.m., the night before your final exam. How many teachers do you know would be online with their students trying to help them out before their final exam? I went over this briefly in class one day (if it's from Citizenship, which I think it is). Basically there are various factors that affect the degree to which citizens participate in the political process. In general, people of a higher socioeconomic class tend to participate more in the political process. People in different regions of the country might participate in the political process more seriously if they see that their votes truly "count" (voter apathy in the territories is high in part because of their low population they have very little political power).

sweeeeet haha how did you know it was me mr. Gilchrist? lol. but sorry I only meant did we need to know them all. Now I got a question. Did Haig insist that they walk across No-man's land? and what do we need to know about the term stuff in sovereignty?

yes it says "citizenship participation"

Yes, Haig did insist the troops walk. He was utterly convinced the artillery barrage had finished the Germans off.

Anonymous said...

what was his top rank. after the war and did he get discharged from service?

Kevin Gilchrist said...

You don't need to know that. It's definitely not on the Final Exam.

Anonymous said...

ok. final is 100 questions right? and what is cheating defined as? (The use or attempted use of any unauthorized information determined by teacher) i think. Is that what you define it as too? haha Dr. Pike

Anonymous said...

Hmm, off topic, but what happened to Schlieffen? Did he die or retire before WWI?

Anonymous said...

didnt he die?

I wonder what he would have thought of his wonderful plan for conquering France failing.

haha Blitzkrieg was better lol

Kevin Gilchrist said...

-----------------------------------
He dies, and von Moltke doesn't have the courage to execute Schlieffen's plan the way it was designed. And that was off-topic.

Anonymous said...

what was schlieffen plan like again? someone please explain it to me

Anonymous said...

mr. gilchrist, now that you're answering questions again, could you explain to me why 22 is b?

Anonymous said...

Is it coincidence that in both world wars Germany made the first attacking moves, and in the end got beaten completely, and that in both wars they fought two fronts through most of it. You'd think they would learn.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

mr. gilchrist, now that you're answering questions again, could you explain to me why 22 is b?

----------------------------------
Which test? If it's from the second practice final copy and paste it into the comment section so I can take a look at it. I made that test up at school today and I don't have it at home.

Anonymous said...

I think they were the agressor because of greed. Stupid Hitler. But both fronts was good tactics from the Triple Entente and the Allies, not Germany's fault

Anonymous said...

22. The size of Canada is important to the question of sovereignty because

A. Canada has a relatively small population for its large size
B. Canada is so large and so close to a number of nations that they may challenge its borders
C. Canada's extensive coastline gives it jurisdiction over a great deal of the waters within its 320 km limit
D. Canada's government has established relations with most of the world's nations, mainly through the United Nations

Kevin Gilchrist said...

Let me guess, you put "C" right?

Anonymous said...

a actually, i didnt think canada had that many bordering countries

Anonymous said...

I feel sorry for generals below the supreme commander. They have to deal with all sorts of bad tatical situations, and no matter how good they do they're always blamed both by the supreme commander and the troops on their screwups.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

Now that I actually look at the question, "C" does look better than "B". The only thing that the makers of the test bank could be thinking is the issue surrounding Arctic sovereignty.

Anonymous said...

About question 22, somewhere in your powerpoints you said that with the US as the only continental neighbour, Canada's identity evolved that way. Isn't the answer you posted kind of against that then?

Anonymous said...

ok, thanks, im signing off now, night

Kevin Gilchrist said...

It looks like Chris and Devin are having a random conversation again about military leaders.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

"C" MUST be the right answer for 22.

Anonymous said...

Sorry about that, we can't resist.

Anonymous said...

NO i wasnt saying anything about the leaders, haha but we can star if you want. MOntcalm was not that bad of a general. at least he went to see his troops on the front line. Hitler sat on his butt and just did nothing haha

Hitler was a better speaker than general. If he stuck with his preferred profession the world would be a much worser place.

how was he idiotic, his plans were pretty ingenious at the time, took over most parts of europe, almost got england.

Well, the world wars are fascinating in the shifts of power. A lot of lucky things piled up to turn the tides. And in both wars the US was like a giant on the sidelines, coming in at the end to seal the doom of the agressors.

Don't worry, Mr. Gilchrist, I tracked down the saboteurs for you and they won't be spreading the knowledge any further. Besides, they really need all the help they can get ;).

I'm guessing there's only you and me left as active posters. Anyway, who and what was the Bi and Bi Commission, and what did it eventually accomplish? What were the 3 points it made, and which piece of legislature was created in reaction, by which PM?

Anonymous said...

Royal Commission for Bilingualism and Biculturalism, was during Pearson's time. It investigated into whether French was on an equal status as English. Its three points of concern were 1)extent of bilingualism in fed government, 2)extent of promotion of bilingualism by organizations (both public and private), and 3)extent of education for both official languages. It set the ground for the Official Languages Act by suggesting French was NOT on an equal status with English. Trudeau passed the Official Languages Act.

I'm not too worried about it. I guess in the next year or so I'm going to be asked to put together a profile of students that do well in my classes and then I get those students in my class. Some sort of questionnaire related to online learning.

Anonymous said...

I'm just wondering, do those powerpoints have like copyright or some kind of royalty fee for Mr. Gilchrist? Because I can't think of any other reason for him to hoard them so badly (unless getting the school's highest SS-10 class average is holy to him).

Once information is posted online it's free to all to see. I just like to keep things in the family.

Now we're getting in to some trivia. The senate does have red carpet. I'm not sure what you mean by that thing with the queen, maybe the speech from the throne? It's usually the GG that delivers it though.

Well, Newfoundland has high unemployment, so they would be against that. Ontario has industry, and so they want to keep it in Ontario. Alberta definitely doesn't want a repeat of the NEP. However, Quebec would like control over jobs so they can stick more francophones into the high paying slots. Goodnight!
