This current affairs discussion group will be based on articles that have appeared in one of the following four publications: The Economist, The Atlantic, Maclean's and The New York Times.

Each week the selected article, together with supporting material, will be forwarded to participants seven days in advance of the class. Participants will also be given the opportunity to propose current articles of interest.

Articles will be selected for discussion  based on originality, balance, and their potential for provoking divergent opinions.

Discussions will delve into the current and historical context of the subject, its impact on Canada and the world, whether it changes previous interpretations, and why it might be controversial.

Please note that this course has a maximum enrollment of 14 students.
