Hi everyone. I will be posting information about homework, assignments, projects, and upcoming quizzes and tests on this blog. Please check the site on a regular basis to keep up to date. To my current students, if you have any questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail or post a comment. If there are any teachers that have any requests or questions, or if you want an invitation to the Alberta Social Studies Ning, please find my contact information under "View My Complete Profile".
We watched a video from the Turning Points in History series on the FLQ Crisis of 1970. PLEASE make sure that you finish off the FLQ Crisis booklet. There is a useful document based analysis on the FLQ in there, and make sure you read about the Emergencies Act as well. 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.
