Introduction to Canadian Politics

Although Canada is a young and vast country, it boasts a vast and intriguing history of politics and history. This page is dedicated to the undergraduate level to the introduction to Canadian Politics by someone who is both an academic and who has practiced politics in an elected capacity.

A dedicated student should be capable of completing this course within an acceptable time period and there will be quizzes and suggested essays for your own interest. It will also be tied to media pages and some Wiki Pages to help with reference material but it is also helpful for those who wish to pursue this course to suggest material or engage in discussion. In a regular classroom situation, classroom discussion would be considered a significant part of a grade (say 15% for the purposes of this course) so it is expected you will debate the highlights and details of the topics provided here with others who are following this course.
