Current Events

I chose this political cartoon because I feel that it expresses the current  economic situation due to the recession that hit last year. What this cartoon issaying is that it is the regular middle class peolpe that are feeling the strain of the mistakes that large corporations have made even if they didn't do anything wrong.By the large corrporate building simply sitting on top of the houses it implies that the large corporations aren't trying to fix their own problems.

The recession afects the Canadian identity becuase it is costing Canadians job and putting a slump on the buying market. Houses aen't selling, car dealerships are pulling in new figures because o one can afford to be excessive anymore because money is tight.

This cartoon targets large corporations who are getting bailed out by the goverment. it is implying that they do nothing and expect tax payers dollars to keep their companies heads above water.

I agree with the points made by this cartoonist because i think that tax payers are feeling to large of a hit because of the mistakes made by large corporations.

This cartoon is expressing that if we followed Jack Layton's plan to buy only Canadian products to fuel our own economy that we would be missing several of the key ingedients that we use on a day to basis.

I chose this cartoon becuase I felt like it pointed out flaws ina fairly solid plan. It seems like a great economy boosting plan at first but as you take a closer look you relize that all of the flaws that were ignored and sugercoated to make the plan seem better.

This cartoon is an intented stab at Jack Layton and the NDP party saying that their ladership skills are questionable becuase there plans don't work in the best intrestes of all Canadians.

This cartoon affects Canadians becuase it is all about them and how their only allowing Canadian products into their economy then their would be many essential everday iteams that we would not have acess to.

I agreee with this cartoon to a point. I do n ot thing that buying all Canadian iteams would work but  if we have a choice to buy it from Canada or import it we should choose to buy without our own country.
