This course explores issues and challenges facing the Canadian economy as well as the
implications of various responses to them. Students will explore the economic role of
firms, workers, and government as well as their own role as individual consumers and
contributors, and how all of these roles contribute to stability and change in the Canadian
economy. Students will apply the concepts of economic thinking and the economic inquiry
process, including economic models, to investigate the impact of economic issues and
decisions at the individual, regional, and national level. Prerequisite: Canadian History since World War I, Grade 10, Academic or Applied
