Modern Rejections of Liberalism in Canada

Today, we are going to look at some modern rejections of liberalism in Canada.
To begin, let's discuss the following question:

Why would Liberal Democracies sometimes reject the principles of liberalism?

Next, in groups of 2-5 we will be going to the computer lab to make a presentation for the class:

You will have to answer the following questions:
1. What principles of liberalism were rejected in this particular case?
2. How did the government justify their actions?
3. What was the result?
4. Do you agree with what the government did?  Why or why not?

The topics are:

Japanese Internment in World War II
The October Crisis(FLQ Crisis)
The USA PATRIOT Act
Tobacco Laws


You may do your presentation with whatever format you like, so long as you get across the required information.  We will be presenting these tomorrow.
