We've got a long, long way to go...

[ciroccoj]

Of interest to nobody but myself, I'd say, but here it is anyway: the outline for my major paper.
Colour Key:

• Section not yet written
  
• Section written but only in very rough shape
  
• Section editted, not quite ready to print
  
• Section ready to print

• Introduction
  
  
• Part A: Background
  
  • Internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II, 1942
    
  • Invoking the War Measures Act against the FLQ during the October Crisis, 1970
    
  • Anti-Terrorism Act, enacted 2001
  
  
  
• Part B: What happened
  
  • Listing and description of civil rights abrogated during each crisis
    
  • Justifications for the abrogations cited at the time
  
  
  
• Part C: Evaluation
  
  • Effects on people targetted by each measure
    
  • Justification after the fact (i.e. was the threat real)
    
  • Public opinion then and now
  
  
  
• Part D: Lessons Learned
  
  • Japanese Interment v. FLQ Crisis: comparison
    
  • Anti-Terrorism Act: anything learned from the first two incidents?
    
  • Will we need to apologize to Muslim Canadians at some point? Do the measures keep us safer?
