Are Canadian universies doing the right things to encourage success in the technological field? Can we sll defend pure, “disinterested” university‐based innovaon?

Pourquoi notre polique officielle de mulculturalisme n’a‐t‐elle pas fait de nous la principale desnaon des gens talentueux du monde ener? Les universités canadiennes font‐elles ce qu’il faut pour encourager le succès dans le domaine technologique?

  • Michael Boyle Aerobic Versus Anaerobic Training the Following Is
    Michael Boyle Aerobic versus Anaerobic Training The following is an excerpt from a book on training for ice hockey that I probably will never finish. I posted this in response to a beginner forum question on aerobic versus anaerobic training. I believe that you could substitute the name of any field or court sport for hockey and my opinion on training would not be greatly altered. Please feel free to read and post comments. Any chapter on the concept of training for ice hockey must begin with the concept of conditioning. Why? Because there seems to be a level of controversy relative to conditioning theory that is not present in many of the other training methods. Most experts in the area of conditioning for ice hockey are in some level of agreement as to how to improve strength, speed or power. The area of disagreement is in the area of conditioning or more specifically in the evaluation of conditioning. As a result, the early ortions of the chapter will focus on conditioning while the later parts will focus on strength, speed and power. The Physiology Behind Ice Hockey- The NHL Theory In some circles of the hockey world, particularly in upper management levels of the National Hockey League, there exists a flawed assumption that the overall fitness of a hockey player is based on his or her maximum oxygen consumption (Max. V02.) MVO2, or maximum oxygen consumption, is a standard measure of aerobic capacity frequently utilized to evaluate the condition of athletes involved in endurance sports like distance running, cycling and rowing.

  • Thank You & Campaign Results
    THANK YOU & CAMPAIGN RESULTS HHTH.COM | #STAYTHEPUCKHOME ABOUT THE STAY THE PUCK HOME CAMPAIGN FROM HOCKEY HELPS THE HOMELESS & BARDOWN HOCKEY Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) was forced to put their pro- am tournament season on hold, which bring in much-needed dollars to homeless support agencies and shelters across Canada. However, just because the pandemic put the rest of the world on pause, the need for support and funding for homeless and at-risk Canadians did not stop. In fact, it is only growing. For homeless and at-risk Canadians, the realities of the novel coronavirus are much different. They are at a much higher risk of contracting infections, chronic illnesses or compromised immune systems, making them extremely vulnerable to the virus and many lack the access to the supplies and infrastructure needed to maintain their health. Shelters and front-line workers working through the pandemic are in desperate need of funds since COVID-19 has put a tight strain on their budget and resources. They face an increase in demand from their clients, and a decrease in charitable giving from sponsors and their donors. Even though we are currently unable to host tournaments, everyone at HHTH still wanted to find a way to help. In order to do so, we teamed up with Bardown Hockey to create an exclusive, limited edition clothing line called “Stay The Puck Home” to support Canada’s homeless. 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the $25 t-shirts and $50 hoodies went to our charity partners from coast-to-coast.
