[] My cartoon is the second one on this link.

My cartoon is about when Alberta's heritage fund did really well in 2005 and Canadian government members suggested that Alberta share it to pay off Canada's debt. Alberta said 'no we saved our money so we have the right to keep it' but they gave canada a little peice of their wealth. The pie resembles Alberta's wealth because they made the pie and made all the right decisions to create the pie. The beaver resembles Canada because the beaver is Canada's national animal. The man represents Ralp Klein because...well..he looks like Ralph klein. I think the artist did a good job on making the messasge clear. Pie is a good example of wealth because, come on, who doesn't love pie? And the beaver is Canada's national animal so when you see a beaver you think Canada. (And the canadian maple leaf on the beaver helps.) I would add ,if anything, steam coming out of the pie to make it look even more drool-worthy.

An extremely good analysis Michelle. I like how you explained all the symbolism. However Ralph is also saying "there now stop staring at us." could that possibly mean stop looking at us, get off your rears and fix your own problems? Mike.

hmmm good idea. Thanks! Michelle

Drool worthy? Really? Sweet! Michelle, you did a great job with this cartoon. I think that you answered any questions that were in my mind, and you did a great job getting the message across. Dan?

Thanks! :D

WELL DONE! [caps for added dramatic effect] I like how you would add steam fo more drool effect, nice work. Miss.Bengtsson

Thank you!


 * Topic: To what extent is the justice system fair and equitable for youth.**

__Question 1.__ //What factors determine the consequences young offenders face?// The seriousness of the offense, violence will make the situation much more serious, what the offenders record looks like, the consequences may be higher if they have been in trouble before, the persons attitude, if they took responsibility for their actions the consequences would lessen, the circumstance of the young person and whether they have problems at home or are in need of any kind of a support group.

__Questions 2.__ //How are youth justice and adult justice different in canada?// The Youth Criminal Justice Act protects the privacy of the young offender and allows most to avoid a criminal record while the Criminal Code of Canada will allow the public to know the offenders name and it will most likely create a criminal record for them.

__Question 3.__ //What consequences to young people face when they break the law?// It depends on how serious the offense was. It could be community service, paying for the damage, fixing the damage or prison. Sometimes, if you are under 12, you may be banned from ever coming back to the store from which you shoplifted. In some provinces ,if you are absent from school for no good reason and you are under legal age, you will have to see a councellor or maybe even go to court. []

Great questions Michelle. But my only question is, are the little notes under your questions your paragraphs? or just little tid bits of info? Dan?
