I showed you a short video today from the CBC show "The Hour" which featured George Stroumboulopoulos interviewing Jeff Rubin about the connection between oil and the end of globalization. We'll have to wait a while to see if Jeff Rubin's predictions about triple digit oil prices and their impact on global trade come true or not, but it is very interesting thesis. Globalization depends on cheap oil prices to make it work. Our very civilization revolves around oil, and if we've hit peak oil or not, demand for oil will continue to grow with newly industrializing countries like China and India increasing their demand. Will the supply be able to keep up? Only time will tell. Here's a short interview that Jeff Rubin did with NPR, it also includes an excerpt from his book.
Please check your e-mail tonight. I have sent you your essay question sheets. Take the weekend to prepare for your in-class position paper. Make sure that you review the "Recipe for Success" handout on preparing for in-class position papers. Go directly to the Blenheim Room on Monday.

Two quick questions:
1. Are we allowed to highlight anything above the line on the handout on the major writing assignment sheet? (for example, on the quote)
2. During the exam, are we allowed to write on the sheet however we want?

1. I'm assuming you mean with a highlighter. If that's the case, then yes you can highlight whatever you want.
2. No. All of the notes that you write on the essay question sheet must be below the line. You're not allowed to write on the essay question sheet during the in-class essay on Monday.
