  • Proclamation/Greeting Letter Request for 29Th Falun Dafa Day Anniversary April 8, 2021
    Proclamation/Greeting Letter Request for 29th Falun Dafa Day Anniversary April 8, 2021 Dear Mayor Jim Diodati We hope you and your loved one have been safe and well. We respectfully request a greeting/proclamation letter in recognition of Falun Dafa Day for this year (May 13, 2021). This is our annual celebration of 29 years spreading of Falun Dafa to the public, the contributions of the Falun Dafa community in Canada and to honor the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. We truly appreciate for your previous proclamations to us during the past years! Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is a spiritual practice for mind and body, rooted in the ancient schools of cultivation in China. It consists of meditative exercises, and a moral philosophy aimed at the promotion of virtue. At the core of Falun Dafa’s teachings are the tenets of “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.” Tens of millions of people from diverse cultural backgrounds in over 100 countries, including Canada, benefit from practicing Falun Gong, where the free teachings help people improve their mental, moral, and physical wellbeing and contribute to a more healthy and harmonious society. Falun Dafa practitioners have also helped Canadians during these difficult times, by offering free meditation exercise instruction in communities and online classes. As traditional Chinese culture believes, and scientific studies, as well as survey results, are now proving, the connection between mind and body is key for a healthy immune system and to combat illness and stress. As you may be aware, for the past 22 years, major human rights organizations have documented the nation-wide campaign of hatred, torture, forced thoughts conversion, mass imprisonment, and killing of people who practice Falun Gong in China, including evidence of practitioners being murdered for their vital organs that are being sold by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

    evue canadienne V olume 42, No. 3 La dimension politique de la réduction du nombre de sièges 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARYRevue REVIEW/SUMMER de l’Association 2019 parlementaire du Commonwealth, Région canadienne Elin Salome Halldorson est la première femme élue dans une circonscription rurale et la deuxième femme élue au Parlement du Manitoba. Elle est également la première femme d’origine islandaise élue au Manitoba. Mme Halldorson, que tous appelaient Salome, naît à Lundar, au Manitoba, en 1887 peu après que ses parents immigrent d’Islande. Elle étudie au Wesley College, à l’Université du Manitoba, puis poursuit des études supérieures aux États- Unis et en France. Elle enseigne les langues dans une école islandaise privée de Winnipeg, dont elle devient directrice et doyenne. Salome est élue députée de St. George à l’Assemblée législative lors de l’élection provinciale de 1936. Pendant sa campagne, elle gagne le cœur de ses électeurs en s’adressant à eux en français, en anglais, en islandais ou en allemand, selon son auditoire. Défenderesse passionnée du mouvement du Crédit social, elle compte parmi les cinq candidats de ce mouvement à avoir obtenu un siège; elle deviendra plus tard la chef du Crédit social du Manitoba. C’est en 1941, à l’élection générale suivante, qu’elle est défaite par Skuli Sigfusson. M. Sigfusson est cependant défait à la l’élection provinciale suivante par un autre membre de la famille Halldorson : le frère cadet de Salome, Christian Halldorson, élu pour la première fois dans la circonscription de St. George en 1946 et réélu pour un total de trois mandats, soit jusqu’à son décès en 1956.

  • TEACHING HISTORY for TRUTH and RECONCILIATION: the CHALLENGES and OPPORTUNITIES of NARRATIVITY, TEMPORALITY, and IDENTITY JAMES MILES University of Toronto
    Miles TEACHING HISTORY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION: THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF NARRATIVITY, TEMPORALITY, AND IDENTITY JAMES MILES University of Toronto ABSTRACT. This paper argues that history educators and teachers are uniquely implicated in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action through their responsibility to teach Indigenous and Canadian history, including the injustices of settler colonialism. After examining the politics of Canada’s ongoing truth and reconciliation process, this paper articulates three conceptual challenges for history education in pursuit of reconciliation: narrativity, tem- porality, and identity. This paper concludes by suggesting possible pedagogical opportunities for each of these challenges, taking into consideration a historical thinking approach to teaching and learning now embedded in most provincial and territorial curricula. ENSEIGNER L’HISTOIRE POUR LA VÉRITÉ ET LA RÉCONCILIATION: DÉFIS ET OPPORTUNITÉS DE LA NARRATIVITÉ, LA TEMPORALITÉ ET L’IDENTITÉ RÉSUMÉ. Cet article soutient que les professeurs et enseignants en histoire jouent un rôle unique dans la mise en œuvre des appels à l’action formulés dans le cadre de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada en enseignant l’histoire autochtone et canadienne ainsi que les injustices perpétrées par le colo- nialisme. Suite à l’analyse des politiques canadiennes en termes de processus de vérité et réconciliation, nous abordons dans cet article trois défis conceptuels de l’enseignement de l’histoire dans la recherche de la réconciliation : la narrativité, la temporalité et l’identité. Nous terminons l’article en présentant des pistes pédagogiques potentielles pour chacun de ces défis, prenant en considération une approche de pensée historique en lien avec l’enseignement et l’apprentissage maintenant intégrée dans la plupart des programmes provinciaux et territoriaux.
