Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader.... I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled.... and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really really nice. I have a Prime Minister, not a president. I speak English and French, not American. And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'. I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peace keeping, not policing, diversity, not assimilation, and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal. A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!! Canada is the second largest landmass! The first nation of hockey! and the best part of North America My name is Joe!! And I am Canadian!!! "We Are More" slam poem by Shane Koyczan

What is Identity?

Identity: Who are you?

What defines you?  Your name?  Your parents?  Your experiences (successes and failures)? Your friends?  Where you live?  What you do?  Who you know?  How you look? 

How do we express our identity to others?

Do we have more than one identity?  Why?  When?

Does our identity change?  How?  Why?

Japanese Canadian Internment

David Suzuki

https://www.nfb.ca/film/minoru-memory-of-exile

This feature-length documentary tells the story of the Asahi baseball team. In pre-World War II Vancouver, the team was unbeatable, winning the Pacific Northwest Championship for five straight years. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, all persons of Japanese descent in Canada were sent to internment camps. The former Asahi members survived by playing ball. Their passion was contagious and soon other players joined in, among them RCMP officials and local townspeople. As a result, the games helped break down racial and cultural barriers. This remarkable story is told with a combination of archival footage, interviews and dramatic re-enactments.

http://www.cbc.ca/history/EPISCONTENTSE1EP12CH2PA5LE.html

Emerging technology played a major role in the evolution of warfare during World War One.   One of the Canadian developed technologies used during combat was the "Ross Rifle".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_rifle

 Below is a link to an article that points out many of the "technical difficulties" faced by soldiers using the Ross Rifle during trench warfare (heavy at 9 pounds, mis-firing, jamming). . . and their solution to take British designed and made Lee Enfields off dead soldiers in  no man's land.
