The general question for the assignment is: Why did the Canadian government buy Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline system? Was the decision well advised?
The document attached is the first part of the whole assignment, which i had to write as an overview of the controversy. Now the job is to build an argument for or against the government’s decision to BUY the pipeline (off Kinder Morgan) specifically.
I have personally chosen to be against it, and would like the argument to focus on the decision being undemocratic, against environmental protections and dismissive of indigenous rights. You can use anything i say in the first assignment as part of the one you are writing. They are related and all work is mine. Use this assignment also as reference of my writing style. Please make sure you write everything in a connected, formal manner and have evidence to support all claims.
These are the given instructions:
The goal of this assignment is to write a document similar to the “In Brief” notes produced by the Library of Parliament’s Information and Research Service (Ottawa).
Here are links to a few “In Brief” notes:
• Barnes, Andre. 2010. In Brief: Youth Voter Turnout in Canada: 1. Trends and Issues. Publication No. 2010-19-E. Parliamentary Information and Research Service. Ottawa: Library of Parliament.
• Heminthavong, Khamla. 2015. In Brief: Canada’s Supply Management System (PDF). Publication No. 2015-138-E. Parliamentary Information and Research Service. Ottawa: Library of Parliament.
• McGlashan, Lindsay. 2015. In Brief: Public-Private Partnerships: Are Canadians Getting the Full Picture? (PDF) Publication No. 2015-50-E. Parliamentary Information and Research Service. Ottawa: Library of Parliament.
As specified on the Library of Parliament’s website, their publications aim to “provide analysis to parliamentarians, parliamentary committees and parliamentary associations on current and emerging key issues, legislation and major public policy topics. The publications provide non-partisan, reliable and timely information on subjects that are relevant to parliamentary and constituency work (my emphasis).”
Your goal is to follow the spirit of these “In Brief” notes and produce a document for busy people that presents all aspects of a particular problem in a non-partisan way. You must present and define the issue or problem, provide some background or context, explain why it is important and list all arguments for and against the problem or issue discussed. You can use graphs or maps, but each claim or piece of evidence must be supported through an endnote.
