BONUS BLOG!

A bonus blog ... just for you.

This blog is valued at up to 3 marks towards your first quiz. That is, if your response is thoughtful and relevant, you will receive up to 3 marks, which I will add to your current quiz #1 mark. You will have until Sunday midnight - May 1st to respond to this blog.

As you all know, the federal election is set for May 2nd. So what issues are most important to you? Review the platforms for the various parties and think about what is written in terms of the effect on the Canadian economy. A strong Canadian economy will result in more jobs for you when you graduate. Which party do you believe will be the most successful at creating a strong Canadian economy? How does this party propose to create a better economy for you and I?

Your response should be no more than about 300 words.

Have fun! (BTW - I only put the Bloc website in for interest sake - we can't actually vote for them!)

Conservative Party of Canada

Liberal Party of Canada
New Democractic Party of Canada
