  • L'absence De Généraux Canadiens-Français Combattants
    Où sont nos chefs? L’absence de généraux canadiens-français combattants durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale (1939-1945). Par : Alexandre Sawyer Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales À titre d’exigence partielle en vue de l’obtention d’un doctorat en histoire Université d’Ottawa © Alexandre Sawyer, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ii RÉSUMÉ Le nombre d’officiers généraux canadiens-français qui ont commandé une brigade ou une division dans l’armée active durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale est presque nul. On ne compte aucun commandant de division francophone dans l’armée outre-mer. Dans les trois premières années de la guerre, seulement deux brigadiers canadiens-français prennent le commandement de brigades à l’entrainement en Grande-Bretagne, mais sont rapidement renvoyés chez eux. Entre 1943 et 1944, le nombre de commandants de brigade francophones passe de zéro à trois. L’absence de généraux canadiens-français combattants (à partir du grade de major-général) durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale s’explique par plusieurs facteurs : le modèle britannique et l’unilinguisme anglais de la milice, puis de l’armée canadienne, mais aussi la tradition anti-impérialiste et, donc, souvent antimilitaire des Canadiens français. Au début de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, aucun officier canadien n’est réellement capable de commander une grande unité militaire. Mais, a-t-on vraiment le choix? Ces officiers sont les seuls dont dispose le Canada. Quand les troupes canadiennes sont engagées au combat au milieu de 1943, des officiers canadiens, plus jeunes et beaucoup mieux formés prennent la relève. À plus petite échelle, le même processus s’opère du côté francophone, mais plus maladroitement.

Eugene Shephard, P.E. Principal Project Manager Associate Engineer US District Court – District of Maine Alternatives Evaluation Report Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2016, the United States District Court for the District of Maine (the Court) selected Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler) to conduct the Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study (Phase III Engineering Study), to identify and evaluate feasible, effective and cost-effective measures to remediate mercury in the Penobscot River Estuary (the Estuary). The geographic area to be addressed within the Phase III Engineering Study is described by the Court as “the region from the site of the former Veazie Dam south to Upper Penobscot Bay, including Mendall Marsh and the Orland River." Beginning in 1967, a chlor-alkali facility located in Orrington, Maine released mercury into the Estuary. Releases of mercury at overall declining concentrations continued throughout facility operation and ceased with facility closure in 2000. In 2002, the Court ordered an independent scientific study, the Penobscot River Mercury Study, to assess the spatial distribution and impact of mercury discharge in the Penobscot River.

  • Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Tiohtiá:Ke/Montreal: Towards a Meaningful Collaboration Between the SPVM and Indigenous Communities
    Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal: Towards a Meaningful Collaboration between the SPVM and Indigenous Communities by Dominique Bernier | Doris Farget | Mirja Trilsch Professors at the Département des sciences juridiques UQAM In collaboration with Quebec Native Women (QNW) Cover image As a visual representation of Looking Out For Each Other, we commissioned Wolastoq artist Susan Sacobie to create a piece of art to represent the project. She says: “This painting is for the missing and murdered Maliseet & Mi’kmaq women that were almost forgotten. The five women in this piece represent knowledge, faith, wisdom, justice and peace. They are wearing our traditional peaked hats decorated with the double curve motifs. The wampum belt on the bottom is our promise to each woman that their lives will be remembered, celebrated, honoured. The wampum belt is also a promise to each Native woman that we have to rebuild our matriarchal standing within each of our families & communities. We must humble ourselves and learn and teach one another about who we are, where we come from and to not be silent and share our individual stories so we can empower our sisters, stay connected and strong and in turn we keep our families and communities strong. Their connecting shields are protecting us and reminding each of us that it is an obligation and a privilege to guard one another because we are all connected. As mothers and daughters, the living as well as the women who crossed the rainbow bridge we have to tell ourselves and each other our lives matter, we are important and we have to love and respect each other unconditionally and stand together.” These words and the voices of Indigenous women will continue to guide the project.

  • August, 2012 ======Loved Learning About the Parasitic Fly That Lays Its Eggs on the Japanese Beetle and Eats Its Guts Out
    ============================================================================================= Vol. 16, No. 3 August, 2012 ============================================================================================= loved learning about the parasitic fly that lays its eggs on the Japanese beetle and eats its guts out. They turned over stumps, boards and rocks, looked under leaves, picked insects off of walls and stayed out of the poison ivy. After showing off their catches - cups were often emptied and refilled - they let everything go, as this was a 'catch and release' day. At the end of the day, the camp director thanked me and said she had overheard the scouts chatting about what they had caught all day long. It was not how I needed to spend a day in the middle of a very busy summer, but I am glad I did it. In a week that was long and stressful, it was good to spend a day seeing that there are still kids out there who get excited about bugs. * * * * * Web Site for Zombie Bees! You may recall the February article in The Maine Entomologist about the native Maine phorid fly, Apocephalus borealis, which has been found to parasitize honeybee colonies in California. Honeybee parasitism by the species has also since been discovered at a site in South Dakota. A new web site has been established to document verifiable Last winter I agreed to head up insect hunts with Cub sightings of parasitized bees, at Scouts at Camp Bomazeen in Belgrade this summer. At the https://www.zombeewatch.org . time my plan was to send our summer interns off to the camp. The type locality for this fly is on Mt.
