You want to demonstrate a breadth of knowledge and understanding so do not select a topic you have already used in the other unit. This must be a current article/issue (no older than 6 months since last reported on), from a reputable source. In general, an article from a major media outlet would be considered reputable; however editorials from blogs or other 'online' sources may not be reputable for the purposes of this class. Some topics that have been recently trending are: Roe v. Wade (abortion) Canada's Gun Laws Facial Recognition Technology Vaccine/Masking Mandates Right to Disconnect Extreme Intoxication Defence Quebec lanquage laws Parole for Racialized communities Decriminalizing all Drugs Solitary Confinement You do not need to pick one of the topics mentioned above, they are only suggestions.
