This week: Power and countervailing powers

We've started a new unit: Official power and countervailing powers. According to the QEP, the "focus for this unit of study is the relationship between interest groups and official power, from the French régime to the present." Today in Quebec, both the federal and provincial governments exercise power through the National Assembly and through Parliament in Ottawa. Since the time of New France to the present, interest groups have increasingly influenced the decisions of the state and have helped to transform society. These groups defend both public and private interests.

Monday & Tues:
Orange, Red, Purple:
Review and finish power relations in NF.
Go over the ECON exam.
Blue:
Begin the British period (notes, booklet).

Several of you still owe me the essay that was due last week (culture in NF).
