Socials 10-2: Laurier and the first decade of the new century

Today we discussed the many shifts that occurred in Canada with the new Liberal government of Wilfred Laurier.  We noted aspects of the economy as well immigration.  We highlighted a few main focus points: Manitoba Schools Question; Boer (South African) War; the last, best west; and, the Tin Pot Navy.  We watched two People's History segments, one on the war and one on immigration.

After school we had a 30-minute tutorial for those who wish to re-write the test tomorrow.  The following students attended:

SS 10-2: Amy, Sean

SS10-3: Jordan, Jack, Leif
