July 25


You wrote your Unit 2 WRA II Essay today in the Blenheim Room. I'd like to have these marked by Tuesday or Wednesday.  I gave you some notes on liberalism, illiberalism and the War Measures Act. The three situations in which the Canadian government could you use were war, invasion and insurrectionThe War Measures Act was used three times in Canadian history: World War I (1914-1918), which led to the internment of so-called "enemy aliens". The War Measures Act is also used during World War II (1939-1945) to intern Japanese-Canadians in response to the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The Canadian federal government also used the War Measures Act in October 1970 during the FLQ Crisis, with the Quebec government claiming that they were facing an "apprehended insurrection". As you watched today's video from the Turning Points in History series, you were to complete the film study fill in the blanks. In today's video we looked at the FLQ crisis, this is the interview on the steps of Parliament that features Trudeau's "just watch me" speech. It's an interesting little debate that is waged being Trudeau and the reporters over the issue on giving up or losing civil liberties in order to ensure security.
