Independents: Separate people maybe coming from the same section not accountable to that section but voicing their opinion. More flexibility and creates consistency within the commons regarding passing a law.

Representation by population: The number of members in the legislative assembly representing a elected area.
Week 5- Math 10
converting from the metric solid to the liquid for question 1a) was different but i was able to find a method that worked for me. my work is in the second picture.
First we find the the lowest measurement equivalents in the same unit as what the question is asking the we place underneath the first conversion. so in the above i multiply 1049 mL with 1mL and then divide by 1 which would give me the answer to x
Consequences of Irish Immigration
In this image the Irish man is large, tall and gruesome. He seems to be walking past this small Englishman trying to protect himself. The cartoonist i think is trying to show the Irish as these dumb, dim-witted gruesome troll of a man, with no manners and savage ways. Like he had just crawled out of his cave, who then wants to harm or eat the poor small little Englishmen who has done nothing wrong. (supposedly)

Global Warming and Settlement Patterns in Canada
I believe that Global warming is definitely a problem for Canada. We are the closest to the north pole which obviously means theirs a little cap of snow above us which is extremely important to the wildlife there that affect the ecosystem in the arctic along with also affecting the ecosystem more south.
Some factors that contribute to settlement would be water for the power and survival of the population. A flat or large area that doesn’t block transportation for people and their cars. Also the weather because we generally want to live in a warm enough climate that we dont have to dress in heavy clothing all the time but not so hot that we cant function properly.
If the Globe warmed the increase in temperature would move up. Causing many changes.
Arctic: Because people already live with extremely low temperatures. If the globe was to get any warmer i think the people would move. Maybe spread out even more to the top of the arctic land if they could.
Cordillera: Because there are mountains it would make it difficult for the people to move up so i think they would spread into the plains or along the edge as much as they can.
Plains: they would move farther up south, spreading.
Shield: Stay or move into the upper region of the plains
St.Lawrence:The people here would start spreading from where they already are to the shield and plains.
Appalachian region: The people here would spread maybe more into the west towards Quebec. The warmer climate could make their farmland even more successful probably keeping a large chunk of the population there.
Topography Of Canada
Arctic Region: The Canadian Shield pushed sedimentary rock due to pressure thus creating Fold Mountains. It includes lowlands, plains, and mountains such as the Innuitian Mountains which cover the east part of the arctic. West is covered in lowlands. Due to global warming the ice has melted leaving mineral deposits.

Cordillera Region: Includes mountain ranges, trenches and valleys. It also holds, glaciers, ice fields and volcanoes that stretch on the mountain range from Alaska to Chile. It was formed when plates collides and earth’s crust felt apart. It holds mineral deposits; gold, copper, and coal. Rich fertile soil was the result of minerals carried downstream.
(Mount Waddington)
Interior Plains Region: Before the plains were what they are today, the area has a tropical climate. Water brought in carried plants and animals and over time they became embedded into the sedimentary layers, forming deposits of fossil fuels (natural gas, oil & evaporates eg. Potash) the plains were created as soils washed up at the brim of the Canadian Shield and soon began to build up. Flat with rolling hills, rivers and valleys. Flat grasslands were there before they evolved to boreal forest.
(Saskatoon prairie)
Canadian shield region: They are hard, rigid blocks, surrounded by younger continental land forms.This region once was a volcanic mountain range and over millions of years weathering and erosion have worn the land down to a landscape of flat, bare rock, lakes and wetlands. The shield is composed of many valuable minerals such as diamonds, gold and lead.
Stoney Lake, Ontario
The St. Lawrence Lowlands are between Lakes Huron, Erie, and Ontario, and extend along the banks of the St. Lawrence River to Quebec City.This region was formed by the retreating ice sheets that covered most of Canada. The ice sheets pushed soils from the Shield onto the area where the lowlands are today. The fertile land allowed First Nations people, such as the Huron, to practice a stable agricultural economy, and later European immigrants established farms and orchards. The St. Lawrence lowlands may be small but the are a home for almost half of Canada’s population because of the agriculture.
St. Lawrence River
The Appalachian region is an extension of the Appalachian mountains,which begin in the southeastern United States and end in the Maritime provinces of Canada. It has a varied landscape of rolling hills, valleys, small mountains, highlands, and coastal fjords. Lots of coal and minerals, fishing resources, big forests and farmland encouraged the creation of numerous communities along the coast and in the river valleys of the Appalachian region.
