Social 10
For our last class period together we conducted a Q&A session for the entire period. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your comments here. If there are a lot of questions/comments, then I will create another discussion forum for you. Study hard, and good luck on the final exam. Please check your e-mail and this blog, as I will be sending you some "goodies".

What's the differnece between the National Assembly and the Legislative Assembly? And what are they?
What's the differnece between the National Assembly and the Legislative Assembly? And what are they?
------------------
In Canada, most provincial legislatures are called Legislative Assemblies and elected members to these legislatures are called MLAs. In Quebec, the provincial legislature is called the National Assembly and elected officials are called MNAs. Does this help?
hi im just wondering what are good times to come on monday and tuesday to look over previous exams
thanks
hi im just wondering what are good times to come on monday and tuesday to look over previous exams
-----------------------
Those are regular days for teachers. I'll be in at about the same time in the morning in my classroom. I'll be in my classroom for the most part on Monday and Tuesday, from about 8:30 onwards.
So, is the Legislative Aseembly/National Assembly for Quebec, pretty much the province's House of Commons?
So, is the Legislative Aseembly/National Assembly for Quebec, pretty much the province's House of Commons?
---------------------
Yes, the National Assembly in Quebec is the provincial equivalent to the House of Commons. But there is no provincial level equivalent to the Senate in ANY of the provinces or territories.
hi what is teh diffirence between (what is) a refferendum a plebicsite and arbitration
I can't seem to remember what the Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA)was?
What was it about and who did it include?
hi what is teh diffirence between (what is) a refferendum a plebicsite and arbitration
---------------------
Referendum: A decision on policy proposals by a direct vote of the electorate.
Plebiscite: Another term for an advisory referendum. (in other words, it's another term for referendum)
Arbitration:Typically this is used in negotiations, usually labour negotiations. If there is a disagreement between two groups, sometimes a third party is brought in to settle the dispute (a mediator). The mediator tries to reach some sort of compromise that both parties can agree to in principle. Other times an arbitrator is brought in because the parties are too far apart, and the arbitrator makes a decision that both parties have to agree to, this is called binding arbitration.
Does this help?
I want to point out a great little political terms dictionary that I found online this morning. It's good for Canadian political terms:

I can't seem to remember what the Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA)was?
What was it about and who did it include?
-------------------------
The FTA was between Canada and the United States, it was passed while Mulroney was PM. NAFTA, includes Canada, the USA, and Mexico. Now as it stands, there are not supposed to be tariffs (taxes) placed on goods that are traded between these three countries (that's what "free trade" means, no barriers to trade, like tariffs). Does this help?

It is "C". Maybe you got mixed up with the Roman numerals.

What were the triggers of WWII?
(ex. Nazi Party coming to power under Hitler, harshness of the Treaty of Versailles, Great Depression?)
What caused Germany to start invading Europe?
for the meech lake accord to be passed all that had to occur was all the ministers signing the accord ? or a national refferendum to vote to accept it such as in the charlottetown accord
also related question why did the charlottetown accord hold a refferendum and not get the priemers to sign the agreement. is it beacuse it has to be accepted by at least above 50 percent of canaddians to become legislation
the ppt downloaded on uclagary breeze i cant seem to get them to work could u check this over beacuse it is very beneficial
hi are there anymore pracitse exams such as the one u sent uss they are very helpfull and provide us with a good overview of what the final will look like
thanks
the statue of westminster only applied to Canada or also to other british commonwealth countries
on the practise exam question 5 states something similar to this
is it true?

-------------------
I'm going to be honest with you, the answers to these questions, although fascinating, are mostly Social 30 level questions, and you won't have to worry about them for the test. For WWII, simply study the PowerPoint presentation on Canada's Role and Contribution to WWII, and you'll be fine.

---------------------
The Meech Lake Accord needed approval of provincial legislatures, and it didn't get enough before the deadline, so that's why it died.
With the Charlottetown Accord, instead of final approval being through provincial legislatures it was put to a national referendum vote. It was rejected by 54% of Canadians who voted, only in Atlantic Canada did it receive a majority approval. Trudeau was critical of the Charlottetown Accord, saying it was "a mess that deserves a big NO." Jacques Parizeau,leader of the Parti Quebecois at the time felt that it didn't go far enough. Despite this attempt at "grassroots decision-making" by having a referendum, Canadians rejected the Accord.

--------------------
Yes, I have another practice final that I will send out this weekend (probably tomorrow, and then I'll post the key to that on Monday).
the statue of westminster only applied to Canada or also to other british commonwealth countries
on the practise exam question 5 states something similar to this
is it true?
---------------------
The Statute of Westminster applied to other "British dominions": it applied to Canada, Newfoundland (remember, they weren't part of Canada yet), Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Irish Free State were granted self-governing status. In 1947, India and Pakistan gained their independence, and the Commonwealth was transformed into more what it is today, a trading and economic development coalition. It is important to note, that although Canada had control of its domestic affairs with the BNA Act and foreign affairs with the Statue of Westminster, we still didn't have a Supreme Court of Canada until later, and we couldn't make amendments to the Constitution because the BNA Act was an act of British Parliament (and we couldn't agree on an amending formula).
what is the distinct society clause????
According to the Supreme Court of Canada website, it says that a bill was passed to create it in 1875... which is after the Statute of Westminster.

-----------------
What are you talking about?!?
what is the distinct society clause????
-----------------------
The "distinct society clause" was part of the Meech Lake Accord. According to Mulroney (PM at that time), it was a symbolic gesture to Quebec. Premier Robert Bourassa felt that it was more than symbolic.
According to the Supreme Court of Canada website, it says that a bill was passed to create it in 1875... which is after the Statute of Westminster.
-----------------
Hmmm. I just re-read this, and I think I know what you're talking about now. We had a Supreme Court, but it wasn't the "last stop for appeals" like it is today. You could appeal to a higher court in England called the British Privy Council. The Supreme Court of Canada didn't become "the highest court in the land" until the mid-1940s.
Mr.G,I think you said that you'd give us the key to the practise final yesterday (or maybe today)
but I still haven't gotten it... did you foreget?
Could you send it to us pretty please:)
hey wuts the diffirence betwen IRPA and the human rights, citizenship and multiculturalsim act do they both protect the same thing if so what is the use of haveing them both

Look further up in the comments, I put the key to the Practice Final #1 up there.
what does pluralism meann?
hey wuts the diffirence betwen IRPA and the human rights, citizenship and multiculturalsim act do they both protect the same thing if so what is the use of haveing them both
-----------------------
This is copied and pasted directly from an Alberta government website:
"In Alberta, the Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Act protects Albertans from discrimination. The Act establishes the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission to carry out functions under the Act. The Commission is an independent agency of the Government of Alberta, reporting through the Ministry of Community Development."
"In 1972, the Province of Alberta passed the Alberta Bill of Rights, indicating support for Canadian human rights legislation.
The Alberta Bill of Rights has a companion piece of legislation, the Individual's Rights Protection Act (IRPA) also passed in 1972.
The Alberta Bill of Rights provides Albertans protection from abuse of power by the provincial and local governments.
The Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Act is designed to provide Albertans protection from discrimination in specific areas and grounds identified in the Act."
So, as you can see, IRPA is the big piece of legislation, and The Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Act is designed to protect people from discrimination as outlined in IRPA.
On your Final Exam, you will be given information about IRPA, and a case study, and you'll have to use the information given to determine whether or not a person is being discriminated against or not, and what part of IRPA is violated. It is very much a read and interpret type question, and there is no way that you can study for it. Either you understand/comprehend from the information given or you don't.
what does pluralism meann?
--------------------
The word pluralism is usually used in the following context: as in cultural pluralism, in other words, multiculturalism.
what is the purpose of the canada council?
what is the purpose of the canada council?
-----------------
The Canada Council was created by the Massey Commission (this is in your textbook). It is basically responsible for funding the arts in Canada.
Are the questions on the practice finals similar to those that we will find on the actuall final exam??

As far as difficulty, yes, they are pretty close.
u can't i hear the lectures on the jan 8 post??

hi im confused the war measures act was used durring ww2 but it was called the National recourse mobilization act or was that diffirent then the war measures act ?
hyperlinks to the ppt with you talking does not work!
can u post the answers for practice final #2!
hyperlinks to the ppt with you talking does not work!
-----------------
Weird, I just tried it about an hour ago, and it was working. My advice: keep trying, and don't tell every Tom, Dick, and Harry that they are there, less traffic on the server increases your chances of getting through.
can u post the answers for practice final #2!
--------------------------
I will post the answers this afternoon, to give people the most amount of time to write that practice final.
i tried opening the links but they still dont work!

--------------------
I guess you'll have to just read over the presentations yourself. Basically, all I'm doing in those presentations is reading, that's about it, I'm not really saying anything other than what's on each slide.
What is section 91?
and 92?
hi im confused the war measures act was used durring ww2 but it was called the National recourse mobilization act or was that diffirent then the war measures act ?
-------------------------
Sorry, I missed this question earlier. The War Measures Act was used in WWI, WWII, and the FLQ Crisis. The WMA is different from the National Resource Mobilization Act.
What is section 91? and 92?
-----------------------------
Section 91 of the BNA Act gave the federal government its powers and "residual powers". Section 92 of the BNA Act gives the provincial government their powers. This is in the first Politics and Government presentation.
if on the test it asks the provinces or territories that part of the North Region should we put the Northwest Territorries or Nunavut and the other one because it split uup into that..
whats sovereignty association?
if on the test it asks the provinces or territories that part of the North Region should we put the Northwest Territorries or Nunavut and the other one because it split uup into that..
------------------------
The North region includes: part of the NWT, Nunavut, and a very small part of northern Quebec.
whats sovereignty association?
----------------------------
This was the idea that Rene Levesque's Parti Quebecois floated in the 1980 Referendum. Basically, with sovereignty association, Quebec would become an independent nation, but would still have some ties to Canada. What those ties would be needed to be worked out. Some ties might include Quebec continuing to use the Canadian dollar as its currency, Canadian passports, etc. The "association" part of sovereignty association was up for debate/discussion. Does this help?
ohhhhh
yes it does

------------------------------
ok so it thier bassicly the same thing just they changed the name im i rightr?
is the canada act the same as the consitutional act of 1982
-----------------------
The BNA Act (1867) had its name changed to the Constitution Act (1867) in 1982 when the Canadian Constitution was patriated (brought home from Great Britain). The British Parliament helped patriate the Canadian Constitution by passing an act called the Canada Act (1982). The Canada Act included the Constitution Act (1867)as well as the Statute of Westminster (1931) and other important acts. The Canada Act included a package of new additions entitled the Constitution Act (1982), this new package included the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. So it isn't the same name for the same thing, one includes the others. Does that make sense?
Also, don't confuse Constitution Act and the Constitutional Act, they are different things!!
whats the difference between the constitutional act and the constitution act?
whats the difference between the constitutional act and the constitution act?
-------------------
The Constitutional Act (1791) divided the Canadian colonies along the Ottawa River to form Upper Canada (present day Ontario) and Lower Canada (present day Quebec). Why Upper Canada for Ontario when it is clearly more southern than Quebec? Remember upstream along the St.Lawrence River.
What's the difference between diversity and disparity? Like don't diversity and disparity come hand in hand?
is the answer to the first question c on the final exam is this true?
is thier a significant change between communist type of government or facist other then facist government being more brutal ?
Why are the answers to question 12 and 58 on the second practice final what they are?
What's the difference between diversity and disparity? Like don't diversity and disparity come hand in hand?
-----------------------
Diversity=differences
Disparity occurs when diversity leads to economic differences. For example, Alberta has a lot of oil and gas revenue. The distribution of resources is diversity, and the type of resources that we have can lead to economic disparities between us and other regions.
Remember this chain: diversity to disparity to alienation to separatism (this appeared on one of the practice finals). Please look at Regional Disparity (ppt) to see all of these definitions.
is the answer to the first question c on the final exam is this true?
-------------------
If you're talking about the first practice exam, then yes the answer is "C". Someone already posted this comment. As for the second practice final, I'm not sure what the answer/question is off the top of my head.
is thier a significant change between communist type of government or facist other then facist government being more brutal ?
----------------------
First off, you don't have to worry about this for your final exam. That having been said, I'm not sure how you would measure "brutality". The Nazis killed millions of people in the concentration camps, but Stalin's communist regime also killed millions of people in the Ukraine in a man-made famine. Both are pretty brutal.
Why are the answers to question 12 and 58 on the second practice final what they are?
------------------------
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 geographical region.
4. Scattered settlement is found in the Central Plain region.
12. Canada's population is accurately described by statements
A. 1, 2, 3
B. 1, 2, 4
C. 1, 3, 4
D. 2, 3, 4
This is "A" because considering Canada's size we do have a very small population, 32 million people for a country that is 9, 976, 140 sq km(don't you just love almanacs?). Also, the majority of Canadians live within a short drive of our border with the United States (sorry I forget the percentage on this one). As you know, most of our population lives in the Great Lakes-St.Lawrence Lowlands region (the smallest physiographic region in Canada).
-----------------------
Various legislative acts achieved the following results.
1. Repatriated the Canadian Constitution
2. Entrenched the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
3. Gave the federal government power to suspend rights
4. Provided an amending formula for the Constitution
58. Which points were achieved through the passage of the Constitution Act of 1982?
A. 1, 2, and 3
B. 1, 2, and 4
C. 1, 3, and 4
D. 2, 3, and 4
-----------------------
Here's why this one is "D": most people get tripped up on the "gave the federal government power to suspend rights" part. That is in reference to the notwithstanding clause. Does this help?

how much do we need to study fornative rights and the yoa and ycja ?
----------------
Typically, you would be given information, and you would have to interpret it. Don't spend too much time on this, 15 minutes max!
Wait! in the booklet that includes the notwithstanding clause, it says: "Under this clause, both the federal and the provincial levels of government have the power to pass laws that overrule some of the Charter's protections."
and isn't "1. Repatriated the Canadian Constitution" wrong becuase it repratriated the BNA Act?

---------------------
It's the Constitution that is repatriated, not just the BNA Act.
Hmmmm. Can we at least agree that it's not a very good question then?
If the notwithstanding clause can be used by federal and provincial levels of government, then option "3" is applicable, and there is not an answer (A-D) that has all four options as possible. Therefore....BAD question!
(If this were an actual test, I would have thrown this question out already)
Whats the OAS and the clandstaine action?
is a lieutenant general the same as a lieutenant governor?
Whats the OAS and the clandstaine action?
----------------------------
The OAS is the Organization of American States. Its members include 35 independent countries in the Americas (Western Hemisphere), excluding Cuba, which is a suspended member. Canada is a member of the OAS. That is about all that you need to know about that.
Clandestine action, is another way of saying "covert operation". A clandestine action is a military or political activity performed in secrecy that would break specific laws or compromise policy in another country. Clandestine actions are almost always illegal in the target state and are sometimes in violation of the laws of the enacting country. An example of a clandestine action would be trying to overthrow another government through a covert action (coup d'etat, aiding rebel groups, assassination, etc). Canada doesn't really use this foreign policy tactic, strangely enough (ealry morning humor, I need caffeine).
is a lieutenant general the same as a lieutenant governor?
-------------------------
No. A Lieutenant General is a military rank (in the Canadian military, it ranks below a General). A Lieutenant Governor is an appointed government position in provincial politics. Norman Kwong is currently Alberta's Lieutenant Governor. He is the provincial equivalent of the Governor General.
Can a map show disparity, or does it have to be through direct comparison?
Is there such thing as the CCF, and if so, what is it?
Can a map show disparity, or does it have to be through direct comparison?
--------------------------
Depending on the type of information combined with the map, it would be possible to show disparity.
Is there such thing as the CCF, and if so, what is it?
-------------------------------
The CCF, was the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, a poltical party that was founded in Calgary in 1932 by a number of socialist, farm, co-operative and labour groups. In 1961 it was disbanded and was replaced by the New Democratic Party (NDP). The NDP traces its roots back to the CCF.

-----------------------
This one was so strange that I had to respond to it. I have no idea what you're talking about. I did delete the second Social 10 Practice Final Key, but that's because there was a mistake in it, which was kindly corrected by a student. I generally don't delete comments willy-nilly. Due to the fact that you're quoting/paraphrasing Voltaire I have to assume that you're a Social 20 student, that made a mistake and posted in the Social 10 Discussion Forum by mistake.

Specifics, no. Just study the root causes of western alienation. Think big concepts.
whats a money bill?
whats a money bill?
------------------
When the government is trying to pass a bill that involves spending money and needs the House of Commons' approval it's called a money bill. The classic example is the federal budget, because it outlines how the government is going to spend money. If you have a minority government, you have to worry about passing a money bill, because that is how your government can be defeated in a non-confidence vote (opposition parties vote against the budget, a money bill, the government has lost a confidence vote, they must resign).
what time is the exam tomorrow morning?
both IRPA and the himan rights, multiculturalism and citizen ship act serve the same purpose ? so then what is the point of having both
also stupid question but prejedice is like not liking women were discrimination is like being racist ?
lastly theme 3 citizenship
what are enumeration,scrutineer, poll clerks and the political spectrum
what do we need to bring for the exam tomorrow
what time is the exam tomorrow morning?
--------------------
The Social 10 exam is at 9am. Be there 15 minutes in advance at least, I don't want to have to make any phone calls home. In fact, if you're late, I think that I should get to cut your hair.
what do we need to bring for the exam tomorrow
-------------------
You need to be at the school's Main Gym before the 9 am start time. Bring a pencil(s) and eraser. The better question is what NOT to bring: no cell phones, iPods, MP3 players, etc.
both IRPA and the himan rights, multiculturalism and citizen ship act serve the same purpose ? so then what is the point of having both
---------------------
Don't get bogged down on little details. Just know what the IRPA is for!
also stupid question but prejedice is like not liking women were discrimination is like being racist ?
------------------------
Prejudice is a preconceived notion, judgment or opionion and discrimination is acting on those notions/ideas.
lastly theme 3 citizenship
what are enumeration,scrutineer, poll clerks and the political spectrum
--------------------
Enumeration: counting the votes
Scrutineer: a candidate's representative who may be present at the polling station during the voting and counting of the ballots
Poll clerks: the official who assists the deputy returning officer at a polling station by checking to see if a person's name is on the list of electors and dealing with the paperwork.
Any election related terminology can be found at the following website/PDF file:

That was not Braden
hahaha
How much should we know about each of Canada's regions?? would you sugest that we know which regions have which resources??? how far should we be looking in to that??
----------------------
Study the Regions of Canada PowerPoint and the chart maybe that you did in that Regionalism booklet (remember all of those questions at the beginning of the year).
Yes.
Spend at the very most 30 minutes reviewing this information.

Can you give an example of a map, or maps, that show disparity? Or explain what would be on the map.
hi does the national anthem express fundamental beliefs?
---------------------
Sing it. What do you think?
What is Western ALination??
---------------------
This is when I had you take notes on political parties that formed in the western provinces. We were working out of Canada Today, so check your Regionalism notes.
is every school's social final the same?
---------------
No. The curriculum is the same, but every school tests differently.
is the actual finial be more difficult than the practice exams you sent to us?
Prejudice is having a preconceived notion, having or making a judgment before the facts are known; discrimination is showing prejudice or putting into practice what you believe about certain group.
is the actual finial be more difficult than the practice exams you sent to us?
-------------------
Yes, a little bit.

-------------------------
WWII is widely considered a "just war". Fascism had to be stopped. Hitler had to be stopped. Canada exercised her new found powers over her foreign affairs by waiting to declare war. It wasn't a question of whether or not we were going to go to war, it was a question of when we were going to declare it.
AAAAAAAAAAAA. I don't want my hair cut.... please not the bowl mr.g!!!!!!!

It's making a come back in coolness. Is very nice.
I feel that memorizing every single fact, figure and info bit a challenging considering the amount of context. Would it be unadvised to just breifly go over the main concepts of the curriculum rather than memorizing details on the last day?
whats a residual power?

------------------------
Kick back and listen to me read to you in any one of my lectures (check Monday's post). Yes, it's not a bad idea to look at the big context/big picture, especially if you know the little details. If you don't know the little details, then review them, that's where the exam could be tricky.
Can you give an example of a map, or maps, that show disparity? Or explain what would be on the map.
whats a residual power?
------------------
When the Fathers of Confederation were splitting powers between the federal government and the provincial governments they decided to give "residual powers" to the federal government over anything that may arise at a later date/things they couldn't possibly imagine. For example, there was no TV back in 1867, so jursidcition over TV, radio, satellites went to the federal government. Similarly, any law about human cloning has to be passed by the federal government because the Fathers of Confederation didn't specifically give "human cloning" to any level of government, it goes to the federal government as a result. Wow, long winded answer. Does this help?

-------------------
Okay, this is going to be intresting, me explaining a map. Here goes: visualize a map of Canada. Now imagine text boxes pointing to the various provinces. Inside the text boxes are figures about average yearly incomes in the various provinces. That would illustrate disparity in Canada. Hey, wow, I did it. I ddn't think that I would be able to do that.

so...does the Canada Act 1982 include the Constitution Act 1982, or the other way around?
The BNA Act (1867) had its name changed to the Constitution Act (1867) in 1982 when the Canadian Constitution was patriated (brought home from Great Britain). The British Parliament helped patriate the Canadian Constitution by passing an act called the Canada Act (1982). The Canada Act included the Constitution Act (1867)as well as the Statute of Westminster (1931) and other important acts. The Canada Act included a package of new additions entitled the Constitution Act (1982), this new package included the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. So it isn't the same name for the same thing, one includes the others.
Few people are qualified to run large government departments such as Fisheries or External Affairs. Yet we feel competent to judge how the government administers those departments. And at elections, we regularly replace governments because we are critical of the way that they have managed the affairs of the country. Who are we to judge the experts!
46. What does this argument imply about citizens?
A. They should be permitted to have a greater voice in government affairs.
B. They are not qualified to govern; therefore, they must select specialists.
C. They find their government too secretive and that it should be more open.
D. They are not qualified to vote; therefore our election system is undemocratic.
is the answer actually b
i think its D

-------------------
Very quickly: fascism was a far-right wing political movement that took root in countries in Europe in the interwar years. Fascism is often associated with extreme political views, and the form of fascism that sprung up in Germany: Nazism. For Social 10, that's about all you need to know, in SS30 and SS33 you'll explore it in great detail.
what makes you right-wing or left-wing?
whats YOA and YCJA?
------------------
Young Offenders Act and Youth Criminal Justice Act, I made you do a worksheet on it, it would be oversized (legal).
what makes you right-wing or left-wing?

Typically the coach will put you on the right wing if you shoot right, although there have been some good players who would go in the goalie on "off wing" are really pick the corners.
