Today, the History 8 class held its third of four Friday debates to decide the future of our new dominion. Assigned the roles of cabinet ministers in Sir John A.'s first government, they receive their 'briefing documents' from their respective 'departments' every Tuesday, and show up on Friday eager and enthusiastic to debate issues as broad as whether or not to purchase Rupert's Land (July 1867) and the need for a police force in the North-West Territory (July 1873). With one debate remaining... the need for a transcontinental railroad (1880)... this new dominion appears to be headed in the right direction. Well done!
