September 24th Blocks B/D

Yes, it's election time, kids! We'll be having a school-wide student vote on October 8th for the federal election. Meanwhile, we'll be working on a whole-class mock "student council" type election to see what the process is like. Here is a link for information on the federal election: CBC Canada Votes.
Take the poll below. Let's see who you think will be the next prime minister of Canada!
