Tuesday, Sept 10/13 homework discussion question

There will be two shorter discussion on Tuesday.

First, please go and watch the video (no reading) at http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/story/2013/09/06/sp-hockey-team-canada-jersey-storify-olympics.html

- Do you like or dislike the jerseys?
- Do you think that the uniform of a team is important?
- Canadian news often has stories like this (stories that some people think are not important). Do you think that this because there not many serious stories in Canada, or do you think this is a way to hide the serious stories? Lastly, do you think that the Canadian people do not want to think about the serious issues?

Second, please go and read the article at http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/08/28/f-canadian-rangers.html

- Do you think this is an effective way to observe and protect Canada's North?
- Do you have suggestions to improve this?
- Why do the Rangers use old rifles? Do you agree with the use of this equipment?
- The Rangers are mostly aboriginal peoples. Why do you think this is? Why might this be beneficial to both the protection of the North and to Canada as a whole?

See you Monday!
