As far as technology goes, my experience wasn’t particularly cutting edge, but for a relatively novice fl yer like myself, doing anything on a plane other than staring in awe out of the window is progress.

The ways that Black students are constantly misjudged and mistreated by teachers and guidance counsellors is an injustice to our community. As educators who seek to enrich an increasingly diverse nation, it is your duty and responsibility to encourage, motivate, challenge and strengthen Black students like all others. When you begin to see Black students as part of your community, only then will you effectively fulfill your job as an educator. ~ Black Student About This Project This report is the result of a collaborative project between Dr. Carl James, Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora at York University; the African Canadian Legal Clinic (ACLC); and the Ontario Alliance of Black School Educators (ONABSE). The community consultations were organized by the ACLC and ONABSE, while the research (data collection, analysis, and report writing) was led by Dr. Carl James with Tana Turner.

    Ontario News Watch http://ontarionewswatch.com/archive.html?id=43459 November 04, 2011 First Post-Campaign Poll Shows Liberals Needn't Fear New Election By: Susanna Kelley Posted Nov. 4. 6:30am The first Ontario poll released since the October 6th election shows Dalton McGuinty's Liberals have little to fear should their minority government fall and a new election be called. Rather, it is the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP that risk losing political power, according to a new Innovative Research Group poll obtained by ontarionewswatch.com. The Liberals have the support of 39 per cent of those polled, while the Tories are at 34 per cent, the NDP 23 per cent and the Green Party four per cent. What's more, should the government fall the Liberals have a much better chance of winning a majority than the Progressive Conservatives. The October election left the Liberals just one seat short of a majority at 53 seats. The PC's won 37 and the New Democrats 17. But post-election analysis shows the Liberals lost 15 seats by less than 10 per cent of the vote and would only have to pick up one of those to add to their current 53 seats in order to achieve majority government status. The Conservatives lost 14 ridings by less than ten per cent, but would have to win all of those plus three more, as well as hold all 37 of their current seats to win a majority. The NDP faces the stiffest uphill climb, needing all five seats they lost by less than 10 per cent plus 32 more.

  • Tsotoronto Symphony Orchestra
    Toronto 11.12 Symphony ANNUAL Orchestra REPORT tso Peter Oundjian, Music Director 11.12 90 th Season Big Number. Bold Season. From our Music Director Ninety is an interesting age for an orchestra. In the context of a lifetime, the TSO has had a relationship with several generations of Torontonians and guest artists. Within the context of the composers who inspire us and their repertoire which has truly stood the test of time, 90 is quite young. At 90, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra presented a landmark season of bold musical experiences which continue to connect, transcend, and enrich our community. We are a vibrant orchestra, fresh at 90, and powered by the traditions of greatness from which we draw our repertoire. Our commitment to creating art and refreshing our art form was reflected in the celebration of new music and composers throughout the 2011.2012 programme, in our New Creations Festival, and in welcoming 28 débuting artists during the 90th season. We are passionate about enriching our community through art and the power of music, as evidenced so clearly by the major 90th season Residencies featuring three of the greatest artists performing today. I am indebted to, and inspired by, the talented musicians of the TSO, who every day share their passion and commitment towards exceptional orchestral performances. I thank you, the audience, for your enthusiasm in these live concert experiences. Sincerely, Peter Oundjian MUSIC DIRECTOR 3 Chair’s Message The Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s 90th season was an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the organization and to present an extraordinary season of stellar guest artists, remarkable artistic programming, and special celebrations, including our major fundraising event, Celebrate 90 , which was a landmark for the organization.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • Toronto Newspaper Coverage of the 1975 Ontario Provincial Election Campaign
    ABSTRACT TORONTO NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF THE 1975 ONTARIO PROVINCIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN by Nick Chandler Stout As scholars and others try to explain the surprising results of the l975 Ontario provincial election, i.e., the relative success of the New Democratic party and the relegation to minority of the governing Progressive-Conservatives, they doubtless will consider the influence of the news media. This study considers the role of the Toronto press in the campaign. It involves a quantitative analysis to determine the amount of attention paid to each of the three major political parties: the Progressive- Conservatives, the Liberals and the New Democratic Party. It also provides a qualitative assessment to shed light on the attitudes of the Toronto press, such as the way it regarded party leaders, interpreted campaign news and implied electoral preferences. The findings are the result of a meticulous examination of the §1992_ and Mail, Toronto Star and Toronto Sun in which campaign-related articles were measured and assessed for their partisan value. Nick Chandler Stout The study shows that the Tories were given considerably more space than the opposition parties, but that the socialist- leaning NDP tended to receive the best treatment from writers of editorials and commentaries. Moreover, it is shown that the NDP became the centre of attention during the final phase of the campaign and gained a strategic advantage by the prominent news coverage it was given at that time. In a general sense, more attention was paid to the images of the party leaders than to the issues for which they stood.
