You are to write a 5 page term paper. It is to be double spaced, Times New Roman 12 point type with standard margins in APA style. It will include a reference page that will have a minimum of 7 sources. The reference page and your title page DO NOT count as part of the total (Duh).
Your paper MUST cover some aspect of the Trudeau/Mulroney era. It may be one of the assignments listed below or you may submit your own essay topic. If you choose the latter, you must have my approval by Friday, June 10, 2011.
The deadline for this paper is Thursday, June 16, 2011.
You have the remainder of the class time in the semester to work on it. Go to it.
1. Discuss how either Brian Mulroney or Pierre Trudeau are the most influential prime ministers of the 20th century.
2. Compare and contrast Pierre Trudeau and Brian Mulroney in terms of their impact on Canada and the changes that they precipitated.
3. Trudeau and Mulroney had very different approaches to dealing with Quebec and the provincial/federal powers. In retrospect, was either of their methods more desirable?
4. Would Canada be better off if Newfoundland had passed Meech Lake?
5. Would Canada be better off if Trudeau had found a way to include Quebec as a signatory to the Constitution?
6. Was Trudeau justified in using the War Measures Act in the FLQ crisis?
Or....
Bring me a topic.
