IDEACITY WORLDS IN COLLISION Front cover artwork by Santtu Mustonen WORDS FROM MOSES I was always the youngest guy in the room; then one day I wasn’t. Today I am King of the Zoomers, in part because of the celebrity I achieved as a provider of youth culture on television in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Focused on politics, history, the classics, the Bible (in Hebrew) and the Tragic LIFE IS A SERIES History of My People, I had a very traditional education: no science, little math, no commerce – quite unworldly. Talk about Worlds In Collision. When I got to Canada in 1948, I was an exotic item: a refugee, and an immigrant, OF COLLISIONS English-speaking Jew in Christian Canada and French-speaking Quebec. But today I’m just another white guy. More Worlds In Collision. When I came to television, I brought a NewStyle born of economic necessity WITH THE FUTURE; and a preference for real-time naturalism, together with the new and cheaper technologies that enabled them. My company’s videographers were a TV extension of cinéma vérité; and Speakers Corner, a video booth physically attached to our buildings, IT IS NOT THE SUM was a harbinger of user-generated content such as YouTube. But today, most of us in the rich world have a complete production and publishing system in our phones. Thus, I straddle the Analog / Digital divide. I like the “old” media, and I believe OF WHAT WE HAVE that there are still many creative things to be done with them. So, along with the many little and personal collisions that mark any life, I find myself also living out the larger drama of the relentless evolution of technology, trying to make a place for BEEN, BUT WHAT new ideas, techniques and products, but determined also not to let the good things already here wither away. The Digital Utopians that I have admired and championed and presented on WE YEARN TO BE. this stage have often predicted the death of the things I love, sometimes in ways that seem wasteful and heartless. As with all new inventions, there are consequences, JOSÉ ORTEGA Y GASSET often unintended, often severe; but, also invariably, there’s no going back. So what to do? How do we get there from here? How can we recognize the benefits among the flotsam and jetsam of theseWorlds In Collision? To answer these and similar questions, we are this year breaking away from our usual format to kick off ideacity 2018 with a “Great Debate” on the promises and perils of digital technology and culture.

    Planning for Age-Friendly Cities: Towards a New Model

    Planning For Age-Friendly Cities: Towards a New Model by John A. Colangeli A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 John A. Colangeli 2010 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. John Angelo Colangeli ii Abstract This dissertation examines the potential for professional/community planning to respond pro- actively and strategically to the impending demographic changes which will be brought about by the aging of the baby boom generation. This multi-phased investigation was designed to explore whether professional planning could uncover models and concepts which can be used to make cities and communities more age-friendly. Several conclusions can be drawn from the study. It was found that planners are not ready for demographic change nor are they prepared for helping create age-friendly cities. This is due to several reasons, including a lack of resources forcing them to concentrate on short-term, immediate issues; lack of power and credibility; and a perception that the elderly are a lower priority in society. For planners to become proactive and strategic in planning for age-friendly cities, they will need to re-examine their tendency to focus mainly on land use planning; focus on the long-term agenda; establish credibility with politicians; develop visionary skills; and become educators and facilitators, engaging key stakeholders and community groups.

In an Academic Voice: Antisemitism and Academy Bias Kenneth Lasson* Current events and the recent literature strongly suggest that antisemitism and anti-Zionism are often conflated and can no longer be viewed as distinct phenomena. The following paper provides an overview of con- temporary media and scholarship concerning antisemitic/anti-Zionist events and rhetoric on college campuses. This analysis leads to the con- clusion that those who are naive about campus antisemitism should exer- cise greater vigilance and be more aggressive in confronting the problem. Key Words: Antisemitism, Higher Education, Israel, American Jews In America, Jews feel very comfortable, but there are islands of anti- Semitism: the American college campus. —Natan Sharansky1 While universities like to nurture the perception that they are protec- tors of reasoned discourse, and indeed often perceive themselves as sacro- sanct places of culture in a chaotic world, the modern campus is, of course, not quite so wonderful.

    Press Release Contains "Forward-Looking Statements"

    Tuesday, August 18, 2020 ZoomerMedia Limited Announces Close of Sale of Assets of Darwin CX Inc. (Toronto, Canada – August 18, 2020) Further to its media release dated May 18, 2020, ZoomerMedia Limited (“ZoomerMedia”) (TSXV: ZUM) is pleased to announce that it has closed the agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of substantially all of the assets (“Darwin Assets”) of ZoomerMedia’s wholly-owned subsidiary Darwin CX Inc. (“Darwin”), ZoomerMedia’s proprietary subscription and membership management platform, to New York–based Irish Studio LLC (“Irish Studio”). The purchase price was $7,465,000 (CAD), consisting of $700,000 (CAD) received concurrently on signing of the Purchase Agreement, and $5,386,000 (CAD) in cash and a $1,280,000 promissory note of Irish Studio, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, which were received by ZoomerMedia on the closing date. “ZoomerMedia committed significant resources to creating Darwin in a space that hasn’t seen innovation in decades, so it’s not surprising that it developed into a competitive software platform in a short period of time. Darwin naturally complements Irish Studio's core business and they are better positioned to invest the additional resources necessary for long-term growth. The sale price is in line with our expectations, fetches good value for ZML shareholders, strengthens ZML's financial position, and allows us to focus our energy on growing our core media businesses focused on Canada’s 45plus demographic,” said ZoomerMedia Founder and CEO Moses Znaimer. The Special Relationship between ZoomerMedia and Darwin will not end with the sale. ZoomerMedia Chief Digital Officer and Darwin co-founder Omri Tintpulver will sit on Darwin’s Advisory Board, and the company’s operations will continue to be based at ZoomerMedia’s headquarters in Toronto’s Liberty Village for now.
