Since there were so few of you in class today, I just gave you time to work on the map assignment and the Cold War activity booklet, both of which will be due on Tuesday. Please enjoy your long weekend!

I talked briefly today about the Emergencies Act, and how it is different than the War Measures Act. I also emphasized that when the War Measures Act was invoked in WWI, WWII, and the FLQ Crisis in 1970 the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was not in effect yet. When the War Measures Act was used in WWI and WWII it restricted rights that were upheld by custom. In 1970, it was the rights enjoyed by Canadian citizens under the Canadian Bill of Rights that were affected. You are to complete the Native Rights question sheet for homework, this assignment is due on Wednesday.

Mr.Gilchrist, how does the Bloc Quebecois differ from the Parti Quebecois? What are some of their major goals?
Mr.Gilchrist, how does the Bloc Quebecois differ from the Parti Quebecois? What are some of their major goals?
---------------------
The Bloc Quebecois is a federal political party, although they only run candidates in Quebec. The Parti Quebecois is a provinical level political party. Both political parties share the main goal of ultimately moving Quebec towards a greater degree of sovereignty, whether that be complete independence or sovereignty association remains to be seen. Ultimately, it would have to be the Parti Quebecois that would have to win an election in Quebec, form the government, and then take the steps towards setting up another sovereignty association referendum in Quebec. As far as the party platform goes for each party, again there are similarities, but it is incorrect to say that the PQ is the provincial level of the BQ party. They both try to promote the interests of Quebecois, and the BQ itself has a fair amount of support from the labour movement in Quebec.
