June 2


We briefly went through the system of cheques and balances in the presidential democracy at the beginning of class. Then we went through key concepts in Unit 3 such as civil rights, entrenchment of rights, liberalism and illiberalism among others. If you missed class today, you need to get notes from a classmate on the War Measures Act. We started a film study on the History's Turning Points series on the FLQ Crisis (1970). We'll finish off this video tomorrow.


We dealt with issues surrounding privacy and the usage of CCTV cameras in the United Kingdom and Austria. I also showed you part of an HBO's Vice episode on "Surveillance City" which looked at 21st century policing tactics and CCTV usage in Camden, New Jersey. We'll do some essay preparation tomorrow in class.


You wrote your Chapter 15-16 Test today in class. I also shared with you the dates of the Final Exam Part A and B, tomorrow I'll give you the seating plan for Part B, which takes place in the Main Gym.
