http://kaitastrophe.deviantart.com/ GROUP LEADER: YOU HAVE TO MAKE A TOUGH
DECISION HERE. THIS STUDENT WORKS AND DID NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PREPARE
AND IDENTI-KIT. SO SHE USED THE ONE I MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NONE.
BUT THIS WAS WHEN MAKING THE IDENTI-KIT WAS JUST A PREPARATORY ACTIVITY.
NOW IT HAS BECOME TASK 3, FOR ZERO TO FIVE POINTS. WHEN YOU THINK OF
ALL THE WORK THAT OTHER STUDENTS HAVE DONE, IT DOES NOT SEEM FAIR TO GIVE
POINTS TO A STUDENT WHO, BECAUSE SHE WORKS, DID NOT DO ANY WORK.
(SHOULD THE UNIVERSITY GIVE EXAMS FREE TO EVERYONE WHO WORKS BECAUSE
THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PREPARARE FOR THEM?). MAYBE DURING THIS
WEEK THIS STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DO AN IDENTI-KIT. IF SHE CANNOT YOU
HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT IS FAIR. YOU CAN CONSULT THE OTHER STUDENTS, TOO.
INDICATE YOUR MARK ON THE EVALUATION SHEET AND YOUR CRITERIA, INCLUDING
THE CRITERIA FOR THIS CASE.

Here are web pages that try to explain what it means to be Canadian for ordinary Candians,
not necessarily for a feminist like Kait.
(Still, this information helps to put Kait into perspective):

Video clip

Double:
Kait MacMurray
This amateur video shows Kait at a political rally given by Senator Cools of Toronto.
Senator Cools is a woman, is black (she was born in Barbados), is a former feminist,
but is now in favor of laws that militant Canadian feminists consider treason.
So, with other feminists, Kait invaded Senator Cools' rally and interrupted it.
First her friends were taken away by the police. Then, in this video, she was taken away
(but the video is sufficient to hear/see how she speaks and acts).
