mdg9,  BRUCE TRAIL PUBLIC SCHOOL, Canada Question:

Hello Learning Circle Members,

 

1.) In Canada, we are fortunate enough to be allied with most countries around the world.  In our community, it is very easy to access a variety of goods at all times.  It is simply a matter of going to the store and getting whatever it is you need.

 

Additionally, several countries rely on us to export to them many goods, in particular natural resources such as water and crude oil. 

 

Our question has to do with the Global Partnership Millennium Development Goal.

 

a.)   In general, what countries are you most strongly allied with/connected to? Reflect on the following to answer this question:

1. Trade
2. Military/Defense/Times of Crisis
3. Natural Resources
4. Technology

 

b.)  Which countries do you import goods from and export goods to? What materials does your country import/export

 

c.)   Who immigrates to your country and for what reasons (if at all)? Why do people emigrate from your country?
