    We watched a video called "Unconstitutional" for part of the period today, which looked at the American response to 9/11 and the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, and the legal, political and moral implications of this act. While you watched this video you were to complete a video study with relevant questions. If you missed today's class, I will be sending you the film study by e-mail. You can find this video on Google Video and I believe YouTube as well. In all likelihood, it's probably split into several parts. We didn't watch the entire video we stopped about 10-15 minutes after they looked at Guantanamo Bay detainees. Please see this link from the Washington Post on the issue of the detainees at Guantanamo. This source is from January 2010 (so it's a little dated), but you can see the scope of the issue, the release of the detainees and the issues that it brings up (what charges should be levelled against them? Where should the trials take place?). Think about the controversy surrounding what to do with Omar Khadr. I also gave you a couple of handouts as well today that looked at the Patriot Act (one from the ACLU, and the other a short debate between former Attorney General John Ashcroft and Senator Russell Feingold from Wisconsin). I also gave you some brief notes on the Anti-Terrorism Act. Please remember that your Chapter 10 Test is tomorrow, please see the study guide here.


    We spent a great deal of time today looking at contemporary global issues and whether or not internationalism was the most effective approach to dealing with these issues. We had some full class brainstorming, and small group discussions centered around the following questions:
    1. What are some contemporary global issues?
    2. How do we currently deal with these global issues? What international organizations deal with these issues?
    3. Can the effectiveness of international organizations in dealing with these contemporary global issues be criticized? If so, what are some of these criticisms?
    4. What are some of the strengths of these international organizations in dealing with these contemporary global issues?

    Hopefully these discussions will help you think about the effectiveness of international organizations and internationalism. I gave you your essay question sheets today as well, and I gave you some time (15-20 minutes) to discuss relevant issues involved, the perspectives of the source, and arguments and potential evidence that could be used in an essay. I will be having tutorial sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. You will be writing your Unit 3 WRA II on Wednesday, be prepared! Start looking at the development of your arguments and evidence tonight!

    We finished watching the Turning Points in History video on the FLQ today. 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. Here is the video that I forgot to post yesterday. It connects nicely to some of the themes that we addressed today in class with regard to anti-terrorism legislation that was passed in Canada and the United States after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. In yesterday'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.


    We watched a CBC News in Review on the September 11th attacks today prior to going into detail about anti-terrorism legislation in Canada, the United States,and Great Britain (which we will be doing next week). In order to fully understand why this legislation was passed, you need to see the context in which it was passed. The value conflict between ensuring security, peace and order in society versus individual freedom and civil liberties could be a potential topic on Part A of your Diploma Exam. Liberal democracies around the world, post-9/11 have had to deal with the issue of the extent to which they must ensure security and the balance between security and civil liberties. It would not be difficult to use a quotation that relates to this issue ("They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."--Benjamin Franklin) and then have the essay question: "To what extent should we embrace the perspective(s) in this source?" Would you be able to write an essay on that topic? Think of the source material that I've given you on the FLQ crisis, the Emergencies Act, the Anti-Terrorism Act, the Patriot Act and the no fly list, and think about other ways you could prepare for this as a potential essay topic. Your Chapter 10 Test is on Tuesday, here's the study guide (there's more democracy-related questions on the test than authoritarianism/dictatorship questions).

    • Chapter 10 Test is on Tuesday, December 14th (please see the study guide here)
    • Civil Rights Movement Assignment is due on Wednesday, December 15th
    • Unit 3 WRA II (Essay) is on Thursday, December 16th (you will not get the essay question sheet in advance)


    I gave you class time to work on a booklet that outlined various key concepts associated with internationalism and foreign policy. This booklet required you to define the key terms and also provide real-world examples of these concepts. Concepts covered in this booklet included: foreign aid, supranationalism, multilateralism, peacekeeping, peacemaking, international law, international agreements, unilateralism, bilateralism, NGOs. I gave you back your Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions homework today as well. I also posted your current mark in Social 20-1 in the classroom. This mark is subject to change as there are lots of opportunities to change this mark still left in the semester.


    • Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions are due on Monday, December 13th
    • Unit 3 WRA II (Essay) is on Wednesday, December 15th (you will get the essay question sheet on Monday)
    • Unit 3 Final Exam is on Tuesday, January 4th (the study guide will be posted next week on the blog)
    • Social 20-1 Final Exam Part A (In-Class Essay) is on Wednesday, January 5th (you will of course, not receive the essay question sheet in advance)

    Your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions were due today. Your Canadian-American Government Comparison Assignment was due today as well. Your Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow. It looks like most of you completed your blog posting assignment (if not please post on Tuesday's comment section). We looked at the Canadian Bill of Rights, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, civil rights, entrenchment of rights, human rights, illiberalism, and the War Measures Act today. If you missed class today, you'll need to get these notes from a classmate. We also started to look at the FLQ Crisis of 1970 by watching a documentary from the Turning Points of History series and completing a film study. We'll finish this off tomorrow and transition into post-9/11 anti-terrorism legislation. Interesting stuff! Your Chapter 10 Test is on Tuesday, December 14th, please see the study guide here.
