  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine. Tout le processus d’application, les preuves de l’action héroïque ainsi que l’octroi tant attendu de la médaille font partie du projet.

  • Jean Vanier Was a Canadian Humanitarian and Social Visionary
    Jean Vanier was a Canadian humanitarian and social visionary. Founder of L’Arche and co-founder of Faith and Light, Vanier was a passionate advocate for persons with intellectual disabilities and a world where each person BACKGROUND is valued and belongs. EAN VANIER was born on September 10, 1928, in Geneva, JSwitzerland, the fourth of five children of Canadian parents, future Governor General Georges Vanier and Madame Pauline Vanier. Jean received a broad education in England, France, and Canada. At age 13, he informed his parents of his intention to leave Canada to join the Royal Navy in Great Britain. His father responded, “I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I trust you.” Jean said that his father’s trust in him touched him deeply and gave him confidence in his inner voice throughout his life. Vanier entered the Royal Navy at Dartmouth Naval College in 1942. From 1945 to 1950, he served on several warships, accompanying the British royal family in 1947 on their tour of South Africa aboard the HMS Vanguard. He transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1949. During this period he began to pray during long stretches serving watch on the ship’s bridge and came to realize that his future would move beyond the life of a naval officer. He resigned his naval commission in 1950 and devoted “Jean Vanier’s inspirational himself to theological and philosophical studies, obtaining his work is for all humanity, doctorate in 1962 from the Institut Catholique in Paris with a including people with widely praised dissertation, “Happiness as Principle and End of intellectual disabilities.

Five issues were examined: the meaning and recognition of success; interactions between the school and its context; the influence of school structures, processes, and culture in fostering success; characteristics of student life in school; and services provided to at-risk students. From over 260 nominations, 21 diverse secondary schools were selected, including large urban schools, small rural schools, minority-language schools, and Aboriginal schools. A research team spent 20 days at each school gathering information, from which case studies, a national report, a video, and a resource archive were developed. Chapter 1 discusses challenges facing secondary education in Canada in the 1990s. Chapter 2 describes the origins of the project, research design, school selection process, data collected, and framework for analyses.

INTRODUCTION Canada has always outlawed blasphemy. From the earliest days of the New France period, through the era of “Upper” and “Lower” Canada, past Confederation and the eventual enactment of the original Criminal Code, and still today, blasphemy has been considered a criminal offence in the Canadian legal system.1 However, this prohibition, whether expressed through common law or statute, has rarely been enforced through actual prosecution.2 In the 117 years since the Criminal Code was enacted, its prohibition on blasphemous libel has been enforced only five times in reported cases.3 A study of the Criminal Code provision and these five prosecutions provides valuable information on the legal treatment of blasphemy throughout Canadian history.

  • Jean Vanier Biography
    Jean Vanier A Canadian Who Inspires the World Acclaimed as “a Canadian who inspires the world” (Maclean's Magazine) and a “nation builder” (The Globe and Mail), Jean Vanier is the founder of the international movement of L'Arche communities, where people who have developmental disabilities and the friends who assist them create homes and share life together. Born in 1928 in Geneva Switzerland, where his father was serving as a Canadian diplomat, he is the son of Governor-General Georges Vanier and Pauline Vanier. He was educated in England and Canada and grew up speaking both French and English. At just 13, during the most difficult period of World War II, he persuaded his father to permit him to enter England's Royal Naval Academy. He served in the British Navy and then the Royal Canadian Navy. In 1950, looking for deeper meaning in his life, he resigned his commission in the navy and began a period of spiritual search. During this time he worked on a doctorate in philosophy, which he received from the Institut Catholique in Paris. After teaching at St. Michael's College, University of Toronto, he returned to France. Distressed by the plight of people with developmental disabilities, in 1964 he welcomed two men from an institution to live with him in a little home he called “L'Arche,” after Noah's ark in the French village of Trosly Breuil. L'Arche grew quickly as this new way of sharing life together in community with people who would otherwise be shut away in institutions attracted many young people.

  • The Canadian Conferences
    136 137 CHAPTER ELEVEN THE CANADIAN CONFERENCES “I believe Canada is big enough and diverse enough to merit a Conference of its own.” – Governor General Edward Schreyer, 1983 It frequently seemed, particularly in the early days, that the Commonwealth Study Conferences were rather fragile creatures whose future was frequently in question. They lurched from crisis to crisis, depending for their survival on the strength of will of Prince Philip and a handful of committed organisers around the world. But the Commonwealth Study Conferences spawned a highly robust offspring in Canada, one that has in some ways eclipsed the parent in that country. That Canada would have its own Conferences seemed inevitable. Indeed, two separate groups had by 1980 begun work on an all-Canada Conference – and neither knew of the other’s labours. “Have you noted your fingers? They’re different lengths, different shapes. Edward Richard Schreyer was just 22 when he won election to the Manitoba Legislative If they were all the same length, you would not be able to grasp.

  • Rediscovering Constitutional Law: Succession Upon the Death of the Prime Minister
    REDISCOVERING CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: SUCCESSION UPON THE DEATH OF THE PRIME MINISTER Adam M. Dodek* Introduction Canadian legal academics have become mesmerized by the seductive dance of the Charter. Before the Charter■'s enactment in 1982, Canadian constitutional law was a rather arcane subject consisting almost solely of division of powers questions. Perhaps not surprisingly, the pronouncements of esteemed members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on such exhilarating subjects as grain and margarine failed to capture the hearts and minds of generations of law students or legal academics. As the Bill of Rights proved to be no more than a cruel tease, it took the Charter to make constitutional law respectable, indeed popular, in the legal academy. However, in its excitement to embrace “the new Constitution”, the legal academy has almost wholly abandoned entire areas of constitutional law. Constitutional law consists of more than the coupling of traditional issues of federalism and the newfound infatuation with the Charter. Dicey defined constitutional law as including “all rules which directly or indirectly affect the distribution or the exercise of the Sovereign power in the State.”1 This definition of constitutional law has not shrunk over the years. Peter Hogg defines the subject as “the law prescribing the exercise of power by the organs of a State.”2 Yet like long- lost relatives, whole areas of constitutional law have been forgotten by the current *B.A. (McGill); J.D. (Harvard); S.J.D. Candidate (Toronto). I am most grateful to John Courtney, Judy Dodek, Nicole Goldstone, Richard Goldstone, Henry Molot and Pippa Reybum for reading earlier drafts of this article and providing helpful comments.

  • Pauline Et Georges Vanier : Un Couple Exceptionnel
    PAULINE ET GEORGES VANIER Un couple exceptionnel Pauline Vanier Georges Vanier Les gens se souviennent des Vanier, surtout quand, de 1959 à 1967, Georges a été gouverneur général du Canada. Ils apparaissent alors comme un couple simple, affable, plein d'entregent, soucieux d'aider et de rencontrer toutes les classes de la société lors de leurs nombreux déplacements à travers le pays. Et tout le monde apprécie leur cordialité, la chaleur de leur contact et leur volonté de servir. Georges remplit sa fonction en faisant beaucoup d'allocutions sur les questions de la jeunesse, de l'unité nationale, de la famille et des valeurs spirituelles. Ils sont à l'origine et les maîtres d'oeuvre du grand congrès sur la famille tenu en 1964 et, l'année suivante, de la fondation de l'Institut Vanier de la Famille. Quand Georges Vanier meurt le 5 mars 1967, la presse et les médias parlent de lui comme d'un grand homme qui a laissé sa marque sur le pays. Pauline et Georges ont été mariés durant 46 ans et ont eu cinq enfants: Thérèse, médecin, travailla longtemps à l'hospice Saint-Christophe (Londres) pour les soins palliatifs; Georges-Benedict, moine trappiste; Bernard, artiste- peintre; Jean, fondateur de l'Arche; Michel, traducteur. Après la mort de Georges, Pauline se retire à Montréal et s'adonne à des oeuvres sociales, notamment auprès des malades et des prisonniers. Mais elle sent que le Seigneur l'appelle à plus de dénuement; elle décide de vendre ou de donner tout ce qu'elle possède et de se retirer à l'Arche, à Trosly-Breuil, en France.

  • 2013 Canadian Computing Competition Results
    2013 Canadian Computing Competition Results Sponsors: 1 Comments Commentaires The 2013 CCC was another year of change. In a way similar to 2012, the averages this year were very good, reinforcing that both the Junior and Senior competitions are approachable for the majority of students. Again, there is a large clump of Junior competitors who acheived 60/75, which is a very good score. We launched a live version of the on-line CCC grader (expanding from the pilot version in 2012) that about half of the competitors registered for this year. With a few glitches now sorted out (including Java memory errors and timing issues), I think the on-line grader will become the de-facto standard for contest writers, due to the feedback it provides. We will still allow teachers and students to choose to grade off-line, but the selection of languages (C, C++, Pascal, Java, Python, Perl and PHP) will hopefully cover the vast majority of competitors. Again, if students want to learn Python, check out the CS Cirlces On-line Resource at: cscircles.cemc.uwaterloo.ca We continued the collaboration with Tsinghua University in Beijing and the University of Hong Kong to offer the contest to Beijing and Hong Kong high school students. More information (including results) can be found at: http://ccc.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/ and http://www.cs.hku.hk/ccc2013/. As in previous years, the organizers from Tsinghua and HKU collaborated with UW to create a contest different than the Canadian CCC. Below, a qualitative summary of both the Junior and Senior contest is presented.
