Winnipeg General Strike

Today i lectured on the Winnipeg General strike as an introduction to the 1920s.

Main points included

– Labour Unrest (soldiers were unemployed, low wages, unsafe conditions

– What the One Big Union was

– What they demanded

– Who opposed the strike (Citizens Committee of One Thousand and  the federal government)

– Short term failure but long term success of the strike

You did questions 1-4 in the chapter questions.

If you didn’t present your protest project, deadline in Wednesday tutorial to get full credit for your effort.

 

Today we looked at how a bill becomes a law.  Introduced, three readings, a special comittee is formed and its passed to the senate for the same process.  Finally Royal Assent is given and the bill becomes a Statute or an Act.

You worked on Questions 14, 15, 16.

Looking at Provincial and Federal differences.  And What Municipal Governments do.

Flow Chart is due Wednesday (its mostly outlining the Branches of Government and the Constitution).

Senate

Should we reform the senate was today’s in class discussion.  A short video and reading three opinions in the text book (page 231 i believe).

Flow Chart assignment is main homework.

Three terms you will need to look up (they are not in the textbook)

  1. Supremacy of Government
  2. Not withstanding clause
  3. Reasonable Limits

The Judicial Branch information is in chapter 11.  We have only been working with chapter 9 so far.  So you’ll need to jump ahead (use the chapter index at the front of the book to help find information)

 

Government Flow Chart

We have been studying the branches of government3-Branches-of-Government (this lecture was before the All Candidates meeting) for the last few days as well as how Canada’s government  works.  Today we did a lecture on Canada’s Charter of rights8-Charter-of-Rights-and-Freedoms and Freedoms, and the BNA acts division of powersFederal-Provincial-and-Municipal-Responsibilities-AB

You will be making a  flow chart of the three branches and the constitution.  Two examples are posted on my board to help guide you (remember not to copy).

Questions!

Today we wrote questions after researching political parties stances on different hot topics.  You wrote FOUR questions today.  Tomorrow we will see if the candidates answer the questions we are asking!  If you haven’t gotten permission from your block 4 teacher to see the debate then you will be attending normal Social Studies 10 class time.  Otherwise, see you at the theater!
