Today's classes are:

9:15 - 11:50 C Block Legal Studies
12:30 - 3:05 B Block Human Geography

C Block Legal Studies - Today I'll have you continue your work on questions 1-4 of the Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI Macdonald Corp., (2007) on page 44 in the text. This deals with whether limits imposed on tobacco manufacturers’ freedom of expression by provisions of Tobacco Act and Tobacco Products Information Regulations are justified (referring to Charter sections section 2.b Freedom of Expression and section 1 Reasonable Limits). For help with Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI Macdonald Corp., (2007)  check out:

I'd also like you to work on question 3 from page 46 which deals with the R. v. Keegstra (1990) and R. v. Butler (1992) cases. After, we'll go through sections 7 - 14 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (legal rights section) and you'll have a Charter "Scavenger Hunt" to fill in for me.

B Block Human Geography - Today is a chance to get all of your work done in your Week 1 package.



Today we'll examine the concept of possibilism connected to sustainability and cultural ecology. I'd like you to examine two examples of how human beings have altered the physical environment in the Netherlands and in Florida. From the text...
Few ecosystems have been as thoroughly modified by humans as the Netherlands and Florida's Everglades. Because more than half of the Netherlands lies below sea level, most of the country today would be under water if it were not for massive projects to modify the environment by holding back the sea. Meanwhile, the fragile landscape of south Florida has been altered in insensitive ways.
So I'd like you to identify in point form the problems in both these locations and explain what have humans done (Describe the human modifications and adaptations to these two environments).






Could you please answer the following question at the end of your week 1 package?:

Both the Netherlands and the Florida Everglades face threats to sustainability. Which is better positioned to face future challenges? Explain your answer.
