  1. b) the process by which the world's people become increasingly connected and interdependent — The Alberta program defines it as a process of growing connection and interdependence across economies, cultures and politics. It is a process, not a policy, which is why the course asks to what <i>extent</i> to embrace it rather than whether to allow it.
  2. c) gave the Canadian government control over most aspects of First Nations life — It regulated status, land, governance and culture, and much of it remains in force in amended form. It is the clearest Canadian example of a legacy that is still operating rather than only remembered.
  3. a) European exploration and colonization from around 1500 — The course dates it from the voyages of exploration, through mercantilism, colonization and industrialization, to decolonization. Related Issue 2 is about what that period left behind.
  4. d) absorb a people into the dominant culture, replacing their own — Canada's residential school system is the case the course centres on. The intent was to remove language, culture and family ties — which is what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission described as cultural genocide.
  5. d) the variety of cultures within a society or the world — Globalization can increase the diversity available to any one person while reducing the diversity that exists overall — and separating those two effects is often the heart of a good answer.
  6. d) aimed to destroy the culture, language and family structure of a people — The Genocide Convention defines genocide by intent to destroy a group. The TRC used <i>cultural</i> genocide to name the destruction of a people's culture, language and social structures specifically.
  7. c) repairing the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples — The TRC framed it as a relationship to be rebuilt, requiring acknowledgement, action and time. Treating it as a single transaction is the misunderstanding the Commission argued against.
  8. a) plants, animals, people and diseases — Potatoes and maize went east; horses, wheat and smallpox went west. Disease was the most devastating element, killing a large majority of Indigenous populations in some regions before most Europeans arrived.
  9. b) creating demand for raw materials and markets for manufactured goods — Factories needed cotton, rubber and metals from elsewhere and needed somewhere to sell what they made. That economic engine is what turned scattered colonies into systematic empires.
  10. d) a distinct Indigenous people with their own history and culture — Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 names First Nations, Métis and Inuit as three distinct peoples. Treating them as one category is a common and consequential error.
