Canadian Political Ideas

3 cr · Undergraduate

An examination of the ideas that underlie Canadian politics. What are the values at the centre of political movements in Canada and where do they come from? How have these values changed over time and why? We will attempt to answer these questions by exploring the development of Canadian political ideas as well as our current ideological context in Canada. Effort will be made to reflect on ideological debate on contemporary issues of the day. Restricted to students enrolled in the Honours program in Political Studies or with written consent of the instructor or department head.
