B Block Social Studies 11 - Today we'll take a look at Canada's role in the post-Vietnam world in two sections - the Trudeau Era and the Mulroney Era. We'll examine Turdeau's attempt to forge a different path, one that moved Canada to a middle power in an attempt to bridge the North-South divide. After we'll look at 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.

D Block Criminology 12 - Today your blog entry will be to discuss the qualities of a financially successful professional burglar. In your blog entry today, discuss why some burglars prefer to victimize commercial property rather than private homes. Note some of the major techniques for how burglars approach their jobs. Why would some burglars want to hit the same target more than once? How might a burglar develop the kind of skills needed to become lucrative in this career? (HINT: don't forget Shover's qualities of a good burglar here). Use the episode of Leverage that we watched on Friday to help you with this entry and find a real case of a career burglar to help as well.
