B Block Human Geography - In the class today and then back in the library tomorrow. We'll start to look at the Key Question: Why Do Migrants Face Obstacles? we'll try to understand temporary-work migrants (include guest workers in Europe and the Middle East and, historically, time-contract workers in Asia) along with illegal and unauthorized immigrants. Our goal is to understand why people who immigrate to a country face challenges when they arrive. Specifically I'm interested in the attitudes of people in host countries to immigrants. We'll try to look at the USA and Mexico and compare it to Europe. I'd also like to look at Canada and see whether it is all sunshine and rainbows or whether there's an underbelly of fear here too. You'll need to answer the following:
- As you read pages 100-103, “Attitudes toward Immigrants learning Outcome 3.4.3 Describe characteristics of immigrants to the United States”, complete the Venn diagram to compare and contrast attitudes in the U.S. and Europe toward immigrants.
- Americans purchase products made in foreign countries using cheap labor. Is this any different than allowing low-cost labor to immigrate to the United States? How? Why are employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants under less scrutiny than the immigrants themselves?
- Why are new migrants to an area frequently the butt of racist or ethnic jokes? Explain in the context of the history of European emigration to the United States. Which groups were more frequently made fun of?
And Europe...
*Warning Potty Mouth so be aware and watch with care...
And the USA...
Who supports these anti-Globalization, anti-immigration "Nativist" xenophobic and racist groups?
So there are obstacles to migration, but is there a benefit to migration? Let's see:

A Block Legal Studies - Today I'll give you time to work on the Canadian court activity from yesterday. Remember in BC...
So, please finish questions 1-5 on page 138.
1. What types of cases does the Supreme Court of Canada handle?
2. What is the legal effect when a decision is made by the Supreme Court of Canada?
3. What types of cases are handled by the provincial courts?
4. What functions do the provincial superior courts perform?
5. Why do different criminal offences end up with different procedures?
And read each scenario below and determine what court would address the issue.
- A trial is taking place for a person who is charged with the summary conviction offence of taking part in an "immoral theatrical performance" contrary to Criminal Code section 167(2).
- An issue of national importance has been dealt with by the provincial supreme court and the provincial court of appeal. The party that lost at the court of appeal wants the issue reconsidered.
- A trial is being held about an intellectual property matter.
- The Crown thinks that a sentence given in the provincial supreme court for a person convicted of sexual assault is too lenient and is appealing the sentence.
- A person is charged with the indictable offence of aggravated assault and is having their preliminary hearing.
- A person is on trial for the indictable offence of impaired driving causing death.
- A person loses their copyright case and wants to have the decision reviewed by a higher court.
- A person was convicted of a summary conviction offence and is appealing the decision.
- The provincial court of appeal makes a decision. What courts are bound to follow that decision?
- In a split decision, the court of appeal affirms the conviction of a person charged with murder. The convicted individual wants the case considered by a higher court.
After we're looking at arrests and warrants in Canada. Our focus will be on the options police have if they believe a suspect has committed a crime, in this we'll talk about appearance notices & arrests (both warrant-less and warrant arrests)
Section 495 of the criminal code grants the police the power to arrest someone when:
- they have reasonable grounds to believe the person has committed or is about to commit an indictable offence;
- they are committing a criminal offence;
- or when they have reasonable grounds to believe that there is a warrant for that person’s arrest.
Most warrants are only valid within the province where they have been obtained and many of those warrants will have restrictions setting out a kilometer radius. It is also possible to obtain an arrest warrant that applies across Canada, however this is much harder to do.
D/C Blocks Social and Environmental Sciences - With Young you can finish up your Biome Map activity and then we'll work through the following:
- Compare four abiotic factors (such as water availability, temperature, day length, wind, latitude, and geographical/geological structures) from the Equatorial & Tropical Rain forest (ETR) along with the Temperate Rain forest (TeR) and explain their purposes in contributing to the diversity of life?
- What is the geographic distribution (latitude, continents) of the Equatorial & Tropical Rain forest (ETR) along with the Temperate Rain forest (TeR)
- Give the apex species and five other examples of flora and fauna in the Equatorial & Tropical Rain forest (ETR) along with the Temperate Rain forest (TeR)
- Identify the adaptations to the environment for flora and fauna in the Equatorial & Tropical Rain forest (ETR) along with the Temperate Rain forest (TeR)
- Identify the competing values (instrumental and intrinsic) of the Equatorial & Tropical Rain forest (ETR) along with the Temperate Rain forest (TeR)
To help:
1. For Temperate Rain forest (TeR)
2. for Equatorial & Tropical Rain forest (ETR)
With Benton you'll be looking at soil as a product of the 4 spheres, working on a diagram and discussion along with the composition and process of formation of soils (continuing with the diagram along with some definitions)
