We will have time to study and to create a study-guide/cheat sheet this week.
Review these websites below to help understand what lobby groups do, who they are, and how they exist.
Be ready to teach the class what you've learned about Lobbyists! Billy Wants a Dog - Introduction to Lobbying "Expertise" an interesting look at the real world of lobbyists in Ottawa How to Become a Lobbyist (American but still relevant) An Erosion of Our Democracy List of Officially Recognized Interest/Lobby Groups Outdated but interesting list of most influential Lobby Groups. Now, answer the questions below: - What stood out to you when watching these videos? - How could you explain what a lobbyist does, to someone in grade 5? Use your own words and use a simplified example to clarify. - Did any of the videos surprise you? - When do you think that Lobbyists would be most influential in the Legislative Process? - Do you think that Lobby Groups are beneficial to Canadian citizens? Explain, in detail! Use real-world examples. You should have seven timeline posts after tonight. That means many of you have homework tonight to ensure you've kept up! We've determined that the due date for this assignment will be October 30.
