A Block Law 12 - Today we will take the class to work on our civil law project. We'll look at enforcing judgements, other sources of compensation and we'll quickly look at Negligence (much more on it tomorrow). If you'd like to jump ahead in the text there are some important sections involving "liability" for businesses and social guests on pages 406-410 (Occupiers' Liability: general invitees; commercial and social host invitees; licensees; trespassers; and the Occupiers Liability Act). These topics are relevant to all cases except for Case 7 (the Mikey Essment case). For more on the BC Liquor laws (pertaining to case 5) check out the Serving It Right information here or for information on liquor law basics here.
BC Liquor Control and Licensing Act [RSBC 1996] Chapter 267
43 (1) A person must not sell or give liquor to an intoxicated person or a person apparently under the influence of liquor.
(2) A licensee or the licensee's employee must not permit
(a) a person to become intoxicated, or
(b) an intoxicated person to remain in that part of a licensed establishment where liquor is sold, served or otherwise supplied.
Liability of officer of corporation
77 If an offence under this Act is committed by a corporation, the officer or agent of the corporation in charge of the establishment in which the offence is committed is deemed to be a party to the offence and is personally liable to the penalties prescribed for the offence as a principal offender but nothing in this section relieves the corporation or the person actually committing the offence from liability for it.
Liability of occupant of establishment
78 On proof that an offence under this Act has been committed by
(a) a person employed by the occupant of a house, shop, restaurant, room or other establishment in which the offence is committed, or
(b) a person permitted by the occupant to be or remain in or on that house, shop, restaurant, room or establishment, or to act in any way for the occupant, the occupant is deemed to be a party to the offence and is liable as a principal offender to the penalties prescribed for the offence, even though the offence was committed by a person who is not proved to have committed it under or by the direction of the occupant but nothing in this section relieves the person actually committing the offence from liability for it.
B Block Geography 12 - Today we’ll take a brief look at climatology and climate types on the planet, making sense of the Koppen climate classification system. After this, we are off to the library to begin three days of class time working on our severe weather poster-video-powerpoint assignment. The assignment follows:
It has been a few months now since your geographic consulting company created a successful report for the town of Orting Washington on the dangers of Mt. Rainier and building a new school to accommodate growth. After some well deserved time off, you then completed a pamphlet for Parks Canada on the dangers of Mass Wasting in the Canadian Rockies which is still being distributed to back country enthusiasts. With the profits that your company made from the Parks Canada contract, you decided to take some time off and headed to the American Midwest for a 10 day Tornado Alley tour with Violent Skies Tours. True to form you made some contacts with people through the owners of the company and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has hired your company to create one of the three following options: a sixty second public service video for the public, a safety poster for children in school, or a powerpoint presentation for community leaders all on severe weather. NOAA has indicated that the topics that you can research are: Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Thunder Storms, Lightning, Hail, Blizzards, Ice Storms, Drought, or Fire Storms. You will need to research the following about your topic:
1. What causes the Severe Weather Event to occur?
2. What kinds of damage does the Severe Weather Event inflict?
3. How is the Severe Weather Event detected and monitored?
4. Where does your chosen Severe Weather Event occur most often in North America?
5. What safety precautions should one take in order to survive your chosen Severe Weather Event?
6. Give examples of the most extreme occurrences of your chosen Severe Weather Event that has happened in Canada, the United States and the world.
7. A List of the websites that you used to assist in the compilation of this assignment.

C Block Crime, Media & Society 12 - Today we're back in the library working on the collaborize classroom site. Now for today I'd like you to do two things:
- Finish your work on the Social Class and crime question connected to both the Law & Order Los Angeles episode we watched (called "Hollywood" about the Bling Ring) and the People like Us PBS documentaryI posted last week.
- Work on the Colton Harris-Moore thread question about the media's reporting of crime and celebrity.
D Block Social Studies 11 - Today we'll finish the Mulroney era for Canada's involvement in the Cold War. We'll discuss the debt slashing policy of the Conservatives in the 1980's and touch on supply side economics and trickle down theory. After, we'll look at NAFTA and the Foreign Investment Review Agency. We'll also examine Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms in the Soviet Union and the eventual "collapse" of the Berlin Wall and the sphere of Soviet influence. After, we'll examine the dramatic changes to Canada's culture and identity as a result of the "baby boom" generation. We'll look at how the government tried to protect Canadian culture and the economy along with the development of both the environmental and woman's rights movements. The overarching question we'll try to answer is:
To what extent have Local, National, and Global forces shaped Canadian identity?
