We tied up some loose ends in our look at WWII today. We went through the "Events of WWII" chronology worksheet together as a class, and then we watched an excerpt of the movie "Pearl Harbour". We will wrap up our look at WWII in all likelihood tomorrow, when we look at the Holocaust in greater detail. Please remember that you have a test on the Interwar Years and WWII on Thursday, May 17th. This unit test consists of 40 multiple choice questions. Please print off the following study guide.

We continued with the Rights and Responsibilities unit today. It was a pretty busy class, as far as the amount of material covered. I talked briefly about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (it's an ideal remember, it's not legally binding) and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and then we looked briefly at protecting human rights in Alberta. Next, we stepped back in time to look at a case study in which the rights of one group were suspended with the War Measures Act in WWII, the group being the Japanese-Canadians. I delivered a presentation/lecture on this topic, which I will send to you. I also gave you some notes to copy down from the blackboard as well today. Please remember that your Government Poster Project is due tomorrow.

Does the governor general open any ceremonies for Parliament? If so, what do they do?

Mr.Gilchrist, what would be a good comparison of the media and leader of the opposition when compared to the human body?
Is government basically the same as Parliament?
Is government basically the same as Parliament?
------------------
No, because government can refer to different levels of government (federal, provincial, or municipal, or district) and Parliament is a more specific term to refer to the House of Commons and the Senate.

------------------------
The media's job is report on issues/problems that arise in government, and to report on how the government is doing. How about the immune system? Your immune system let's the rest of your body know when you're not feeling well. Just an idea (maybe not a great one at that). I would have to know what you had designated as your PM and Cabinet, and Shadow Cabinet to give you a better answer for the Leader of the Opposition, in other words, I would need to see the big picture.
