We finished up some videos today in class that we had started last week. I also delivered a presentation/lecture on "The Beginning of WWI to Stalemate" which corresponds to Chapter 13 in your textbook. If you haven't read it already, you should be reading Chapter 13, and complete the chart that I will be sending to you tonight. I may take this chart in for marks, or I may not. Either way, you should complete the chart. I also shared with you the results from the Imperialism Unit Final.
Here is the link to the online petition that I discussed to honor the last remaining Canadian veterans of World War I with a state funeral. For the online petition, please click here. Here is an excerpt from the Dominion Institute website: "Only three veterans of First World War remain. They are Lloyd Clemett (106 years of age), John Babcock (also 106 years of age) and Percy Wilson (105 years of age).These three men constitute our only living link to the horrors and triumphs experienced by the more than half million Canadians who served under arms between 1914 and 1918."
On another note, here's a definition for C.N. in 20-4:
- The quality of showing or requiring careful, precise treatment: the nicety of a diplomatic exchange.
- Delicacy of character or feeling; fastidiousness; scrupulousness.
- A fine point, small detail, or subtle distinction: the niceties of etiquette.
- An elegant or refined feature; an amenity: the niceties of civilized life.
So you see C.N. I didn't just "make up a word". The "debate" is now finished.

After current events today, we finished up our cabinet selection simulation with a brief discussion period about the rationale of some of your group's selections. Next we watched a video, the first in the series that we will be watching on our Canadian political system. You were to take notes while watching the video. If you were absent today, you need to get these notes from one of your friends because the notes will be really helpful. If you're still curious about the difference between the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada and the Communist Party of Canada (keep in mind this is Rick Mercer's website, so it's meant to be funny) go to this hyperlink, and then scroll down the page until you see "Week of January 10, 2006" and then click on the link labeled "Communist Party of Canada".

when is the chart you sent us tonight due..next week, not tomorrow because you didn't mention anything in class right?..
hahaha C.N got owned lol
I haven't sent out the Chapter 13 chart yet. I thought that it might be better if you actually read the chapter first and then I would send it out.
I'll send out the chart tomorrow morning in all likelihood. I don't seem to have it here with me at the University.
what about todays presentation?

------------------------
The executive branch includes: the Queen (head of state, remember) and her highest representative in the land the Governor General. It also includes the PM and his Cabinet. That's it. The legislative branch is the Queen, Governor General, the House of Commons and the Senate. Do you see the difference? There are parallels between the federal government and the provincial governments in that they both have executive, legislative and judicial branches. The key difference is that the provincial governments don't have an equivalent to the Senate, they don't have an upper chamber that's appointed.

------------------------
Only if there is a communist that is running in your electoral district. In the riding that I used to live in there was a communist candidate in every federal election.

Study all of the key terms in that Word document that I sent to you. You can refer to the PowerPoint presentations to help you if you need it. The presentations are more desrciptive.

Thanks.

The Balkan Front would include fighting in the following areas: Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, etc. Anywhere in the southeastern part of Europe.
Three cheers!
"NDP Leader Jack Layton celebrated another victory for veterans today as the NDP motion for a state funeral for the last Canadian WWI veteran passed unanimously in the House of Commons."
