  • The State of Fossil Fuel Divestment in Canadian Post-Secondary Institutions
    The State of Fossil Fuel Divestment in Canadian Post-secondary Institutions Post-secondary institutions have a critical role to play as agents of change in moving society towards greater sustainability (Stephens et al, 2008), as well as have the potential to become exemplary leaders in the larger climate justice movement. This synopsis outlines the state of the high education fossil fuel divestment movement, with a particular focus on Canadian post-secondary institutions. It was written by Naomi Maina, PhD Researcher, with The Sustainability and Education Policy Network (SEPN). It is part of a larger ongoing research study being conducted by SEPN to evaluate sustainability uptake in Canadian formal education. The study is also interested in what relations may exist between post-secondary institutions that have high sustainability initiative (SI) scores (Beveridge et al., 2014), and their involvement in the divestment movement. “If it is wrong to wreck the climate, then it is wrong to profit from that wreckage:” This is the principle behind the divestment movement, which has gained momentum in the United States, Canada, and internationally since its inception in fall 2012 (gofossilfree.org). Initiated by Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org, the grassroots divestment movement calls upon higher education institutions, churches, cities, non-profit organizations, and individuals to divest their holdings from the top 200 most polluting fossil fuel companies. To date, a total of $50 billion has been divested by at least 181 institutions and local governments across the world (Arabella Advisors, n.d.). Figure 1 shows a breakdown of the amount divested by each sector.

  • The 2012 Campus Freedom Index Measuring the State of Free Speech at Canadian Universities
    Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms JCCF.ca The 2012 Campus Freedom Index Measuring the state of free speech at Canadian universities By John Carpay and Michael Kennedy Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms #253, 7620 Elbow Drive SW Calgary, Alberta, T2V 1K2 Phone: 403-475-3622 www.jccf.ca 1 About the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." The free and democratic society which the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms holds out as our ideal can only be fulfilled by honouring and preserving Canada’s traditions of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, other individual rights, constitutionally limited government, the equality of all citizens before the law, and the rule of law. And yet these core principles of freedom and equality continue to be eroded by governments and by government-funded and government-created entities like Canada’s public universities, and human rights commissions at the federal and provincial levels. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) was founded for the purpose of advancing and promoting the core principles of freedom and equality through education and litigation. The JCCF is a registered charity (charitable registration number 817174865-RR0001) and issues official tax receipts to donors for donations of $50 or more. The JCCF is funded entirely by the voluntary donations of freedom-minded Canadians who agree with the Centre’s goals, mission, vision and activities. The centre is independent and non-partisan, and receives no funding from any government or government organization.
