Today we went over some of the recent developments in the political platforms of the major parties thus far in this election campaign. Here are some helpful hyperlinks to help you to continue working on your retrieval charts:

• CBC Canada Votes: Leaders, Parties and Issues (scroll down to Issues, there are two versions: "interactive" and "HTML", either will let you know where the parties stand on particular issues). On this same page, there is the "Voter Quiz". Please take it to see which political party you might support if you could vote in the 2006 election.

We watched a video today entitled, "China's Only Child". There were some readings that went along with the video. Please complete the readings and the questions associated with those readings.
