The annual conference is the centrepiece initiative of MISC’s public outreach mandate, and is tasked with investigating themes and topics that bear on pressing matters of public policy. These confer- ences are non-partisan events, open to the public, and are designed to stimulate debate and encourage frank and open dis- cussion in an atmosphere of honest intellectual inquiry. With Donald Trump now in the White House and Britain’s plan to exit the EU underway, the wave of anti-immigrant sentiment that fueled both shows every sign of expanding across Europe. Amidst this, Canada appears to stand alone. We have created a peaceful society with a robust welfare state, in a multi-cultural high-immigrant context with little of the populist backlash we have seen down south and abroad. Is this a matter of history or geography or circumstance, is it because there is something special in our policies, institutions, or character, or is it all just a mirage? This two-day conference will investigate the appearance and the reality of Canada’s exceptional status amongst western nations. D I R E C T O R ’ S W E L C O M E This is my first conference as Director, and I am grateful for the support and encouragement I have received from my predecessors, from the Board of Trustees, and by the broader members of the McGill community. I’m excited for the future of MISC and of Cana- da, and I hope you will continue to join us in our ongoing exploration of our country.

Yours sincerely, Andrew Potter, PhD Director, McGill Institute for the Study of Canada Chers amis et collègues, NOTES Célébrant le 150e anniversaire du Canada, je suis ravi de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à la conférence de l’Institut d’études canadiennes de McGill. La conférence annuelle est au cœur du mandat d’éducation publique de l’IÉCM dont l’objectif est d’étudier les thèmes et les sujets critiques en matière de politique publique. Ces conférences sont des événements non partisans, ouverts au public et conçus pour encourager le débat et les discussions sincères, le tout dans une atmosphère de recherche intellectuelle honnête. Avec Donald Trump à la Maison-Blanche et le plan de sortie de la Grande-Bretagne de l’Union européenne, la vague de sentiments anti-immigrants qui a alimenté les deux semble s’étendre à travers l’Europe. Au milieu de tout cela, le Canada parait être seul. Dans un contexte multiculturel important et avec une population issue de l’immigration, nous avons créé une société prospère, dotée d'un État-providence robuste, et ce, avec pratiquement aucune réaction populiste comparable à celle vécue dans le sud et outremer. Est-ce une question d’histoire, de géographie, de circonstance? Avons-nous quelque chose de distinctif dans nos politiques, nos institutions ou notre caractère, ou est-ce que tout cela n’est qu’une illusion? Cette conférence de deux jours portera sur l'apparence et la réalité du statut exceptionnel du Canada parmi les nations occidentales. Voici ma première conférence en tant que Directeur, et je suis M E S S A G E D U D I R E C T E U R reconnaissant de l’appui et de l’encouragement que j’ai reçus de la part de mes prédécesseurs, du conseil d’administration et des membres de la communauté de McGill.

  • The Canadian Adolescent Refugee Experience
    Living Within Hyphenated Paradoxes – The Canadian Adolescent Refugee Experience SOFIA NOORI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL THOUGHT YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2020 © Sofia Noori, 2020 ABSTRACT In 2018, the Canadian government admitted 46,500 refugees. This followed a remarkable record resettlement of Syrian refugees in Canada from 2015–17, with just under half aged 17 or younger. This dissertation addresses how adolescent refugees negotiate the issues and aftermath of living in civil unrest, war, migration, transitory states, refugee camps, and resettlement. I analyze published memoirs and vlogs by Canadians who were adolescent refugees when they arrived in this country. By highlighting the life stories of ten Canadians who experienced varying degrees of “refugee-ness,” I argue that these asylum seekers contend with paradoxical claims to their subjectivities. While witnessing conflicts and camps traumatizes these young people, they successfully achieve independence and greater stability after settling in Canada. Shifting cultural practices informed by their native and host countries are factors that influence refugee’s sense of identity liminalities: being too young, too old, not westernized enough, not native enough, lacking schooling and wanting academic accolades. Readings of their narratives informed by psychoanalysis and postcolonial theory show that young refugees employ ancestral coping mechanisms, intellectualization, and sublimation to make meaning from their experienced losses and grief. Fanon’s and Said’s theories address the violent colonial context of exile and alienation. Anna Freud and Winnicott explain the internal mechanisms of resistance.

  • The Global Refugee Crisis: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications for Improving Public Attitudes and Facilitating Refugee Resettlement ∗ Victoria M
    Social Issues and Policy Review, Vol. 11, No. 1, 2017, pp. 78--123 The Global Refugee Crisis: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications for Improving Public Attitudes and Facilitating Refugee Resettlement ∗ Victoria M. Esses University of Western Ontario Leah K. Hamilton Mount Royal University Danielle Gaucher University of Winnipeg The number of refugees across the globe is at an alarming high and is expected to continue to rise for the foreseeable future. As a result, finding durable solutions for refugees has become a major challenge worldwide. The literature reviewed and policy implications discussed in this article are based on the premise that one of the major solutions to the refugee crisis must be refugee resettlement in new host countries. For such a solution to succeed, however, requires relatively favorable attitudes by members of host societies, protection of the well-being of refugees, and effective integration of refugees into new host countries. In this context, we begin by reviewing the literature on determinants of public attitudes toward refugees, the acculturation of refugees in host societies, and factors affecting refugee mental health, all of which are directly relevant to the success of the resettlement process. We then turn our attention to the policy implications of these literatures, and discuss strategies for improving public attitudes toward refugees and refugee resettlement in host countries; for improving the resettlement process to reduce ∗ Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Victoria M.

  • “John Roberts Gave Us Trump” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse
    Gaslit Nation Transcript 21 October 2020 “John Roberts Gave Us Trump” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: ... to me, pretty big deal. I've never seen this around any court that I've ever been involved with, where there's this much dark money, and this much influence being used. Here's how The Washington Post summed it up: "This is a conservative activist, behind-the-scenes campaign to remake the nation's courts, and it's a $250 million dark money operation." $250 million is a lot of money to spend if you're not getting anything for it, so that raises the question, what are they getting for it? Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: Well, I showed the slide earlier on the Affordable Care Act, and on Obergefell, and on Roe versus Wade. That's where they lost. But with another judge, that could change. That's where the contest is. That's where the Republican Party platform tells us to look at how they want judges to rule. To reverse Roe, to reverse the Obamacare cases, and to reverse Obergefell and take away gay marriage. That is their stated objective and plan. Why not take them at their word? Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: But there's another piece of it. And that is, not what's ahead of us, but what's behind us. What's behind us is now, 80 cases, Mr. Chairman, 80 cases under Chief Justice Roberts that have these characteristics: One, they were decided five to four, by a bare majority. Two, the five to four majority was partisan, in the sense that not one Democratic appointee joined the five.

    School of Journalism 34th Annual James M. Minifie Lecture NAHLAH AYED FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT | THE NATIONAL A beginning, a middle and an end: Canadian foreign reportage examined. March 12, 2014 QUESTION AUTHORITY Study Journalism at the University of Regina Learn to craft stories for all forms of media. Stories that engage. Stories that inform. Stories that empower the public. Stories that build a stronger democracy. www.uregina.ca/arts/journalism • [email protected] • 306-585-4420 A beginning, a middle and an end: Canadian foreign reportage examined. It’s a real honour to be here in Regina and especially to give the Minifie lecture. James M. Minifie embodied the best of Canadian foreign journalism. He was an early integrator who filed for both radio and TV and I’m sure would have also filed for online had it existed. The story of my coming to give this lecture is a little bit like the job that we do, a little like doing foreign correspondence. Just like foreign correspondence, every obstacle that could possibly be thrown in my way happened! I felt like I was being tested – the way we are with every single story we file. Even the very last leg of this journey, coming from Toronto just a few hours ago, I barely made it out. It was wet snow and a huge lineup of planes being de- iced. I couldn’t believe we made it out. So, just like every story we file, the object, as painful as it can be, is to make deadline – no matter what. The idea is that an imperfect but accurate and complete story on the air is better than no story.

  • Help Protect Our Democracy Andrea Chalupa Sarah Kendzior Deborah
    Gaslit Nation Election Hacking: Help Protect Our Democracy Andrea Chalupa Sarah Kendzior Deborah Porder [Media Clip] John Oliver: But the fact is, unless you happen to personally know everyone ​ who votes for you on a paperless DRE machine, there is no way to verify the results. It's a pretty good case against them, which makes it, frankly, completely insane that New Jersey not only still uses them, but plans to keep using them for the 2020 election. And it's not just New Jersey. In 2016, 20% of voters voted on paperless DREs, and an estimated 12% will use them in 2020, meaning 16 million Americans spread out across all these states are set to be voting on machines that pretty much everyone agrees are deeply, deeply flawed. And if they malfunction, there could be no way of knowing, which is absolutely terrifying, because what we have to do here is obvious. It's so obvious, in fact, even this guy understands it. Donald Trump: One of the things we're learning is it's always good—it's old fashioned, but it's always good—to have a paper backup system of voting. It's called paper, not highly complex computers, paper, and a lot of states are doing that. John Oliver: Yeah, he's right. That's it. He's just all the way completely right. It is called paper. Paper is not a computer. It's paper. And a lot of states are doing it. Now, I'm sure everything he said around those 16 seconds was some combination of wrong, racist and horny.

    Gaslit Nation Crystal Marie Fleming Andrea Chalupa Sarah Kendzior Crystal Marie Fleming on White Supremacy Theme Music Sarah Kendzior: I'm Sarah Kendzior, a journalist, scholar, and the author of the essay collection The View from Flyover Country and the upcoming book Hiding in Plain Sight. My co-host is Andre Chalupa, a writer and the screenwriter of the journalistic thriller Mr. Jones. And together we are Gaslit Nation, a podcast covering corruption in the Trump administration and the rise of autocracy around the world. This week marks two years since the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in which anti-racist activist Heather Heyer was murdered, so it's fitting that we are airing an interview with an expert on white supremacy and global racism, Dr. Crystal Fleming, who is a sociologist and the author of How to Be Less Stupid About Race: On Racism, White Supremacy, and the Racial Divide. She is also an associate professor of sociology at Stonybrook University, with affiliations in the Department of Africana Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Andrea spoke with Dr. Fleming: in May, and their conversation will comprise the bulk of this episode. We're very excited to have Dr. Fleming as part of our Gaslit Nation Reading Series, and we encourage you to go buy her books. But before we get to her interview, I want to say a few words about Charlottesville, racism, and authoritarianism. The day that Trump was named President-elect, I tweeted out some advice on what subjects to study if you wanted to understand how his administration would operate.

One of the characteristics of this melancholia was a nostalgic reaching back to the past in order to redeem the present, which was perceived as saturat- ed with a dizzying array of signifiers, symbols, and commodities that seem hollowed out or vacuous when compared to the fullness of the past. According to Caputi, this nostalgic reaching back to the past had in fact started well before the beginning of the twenty-first century and was a key element of the neo-conservative movement that began in 1980, and which was epitomized by Ronald Reagan’s campaign and his slogan, “Let’s Make America Great Again”. Here a notion of a more
