As part of our unit in human Geography we have discussed Industry and Social Justice and how that influences standard of living. Standard of living is very high in Canada much of which is a result of national industry and industrial efficiency. In class today we talked about the fact that although agriculture is only appox. 4 % of our GDP it still accounts for over 70% of the food that we consume. This leads to the question is Agriculture or any industry in Canada the same as in other countries or are there differentials that should be included in the comparison. Play the game http://www.3rdworldfarmer.com/ then discuss the following question: Why is success in the game dependent on the purchase of infrastructure and social services and how does this compare to Canada's past.
Parent Partners: the discussion is about economic prosperity and global equity. We are looking at the history of Canada's road to prosperity, through the lens of Human Geography, many of you and your ancestors have contributed greatly to that prosperity. Please include your personal contributions in our discussion postings to enrich our understanding of the difficult but rewarding journey that our country has travelled. thank you Ms. Newman
