---------------
About 65 questions. I think that I drop a couple of questions off the test.

--------------------
Aims and objectives are goals of foreign policy, what we want to achieve and strive for. Aims and objectives/goals would be things like quality of life, social justice, peace and security. Methods of foreign policy would be how you achieve your goals. Do you use clandestine actions?

What is Sovereignty?

-------------------
Yikes!
Sovereignty can be defined as relating to a nation-state's independence (having control of domestic and foreign affairs), international recognition of the nation-state's boundaries and territories by other nation-states. Please review the very first PowerPoint presentation entitled "Canadian Sovereignty".

-------------------
It's all multiple choice, and you get as much time as you need to complete the test.

--------------------
Typically, I have years in my PowerPoint presentations. There are no questions on the final that ask you "When was VE-Day?" It's good to know the order in which events happened though.

The BNA Act (1867) is the same thing as the Constitution Act (1867). When the constitution was patriated ("brought home" from England) it was renamed retroactively. Don't confuse it with the Constitutional Act of 1791 though.

That would be helpful.

----------------------
The only connection that you might see is over something like the conscription issue.

what was the cold war?

---------------------
I sent you a presentation on this topic, it's called "Canada's Role in the Cold War". In that presentation there is a definition of what "cold war" means.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

----------------------
Internationalism is the spirit of international cooperation, at least the way Canada defines it. I think you're referring to multilateralism, so many nations working things out together, which is part of internationalism.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

what exactly do we need to kno about the acid rain issue?

---------------
Here's questions you should be able to answer:
What is acid rain? What causes it? Have Canada and the US worked out any agreements about acid rain? For this test there might be one or two questions about it.

-------------------
I don't seem to remember any questions about it on this test. For your final exam most definitely. Possibly for your Rights and Responsibilities Unit Final. I'll explain it more in detail when we talk more about government and rights and responsibilities.
