Abstract:

I apply Pierre Bourdieu’s conception of relationally-defined social spaces of capitals and classes that delimit highbrow and lowbrow cultural forms to Canadian society. I use categorical principal components analysis techniques and a nationally representative survey dataset from 1998 containing measures of economic capital, cultural capital and a wide range of cultural practices to construct a visual representation of Canadian social space which is directly inspired by the social space for 1960s France crafted by Bourdieu in Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste (Bourdieu 1984). After identifying nascent class groupings and potentially highbrow and lowbrow cultural practices in my depiction of social space, I speculate on precisely how such cultural practices might factor into class dynamics in Canada, in particular examining the role played by “cultural omnivorism” in identifying and reinforcing class distinctions.

Abstract:

Canada as a Neo-Europe is a relatively recent construct, although the people of its first nations, the Indians and Inuit, have been here for some twelve thousand years, since the beginning of the retreat of the last ice sheets. Western science came in a limited way with the first European explorers; Samuel de Champlain left a mariner's astrolabe behind him. The Jesuits followed with their organization and educational institutions, and from the eighteenth century science was established within European Canadian culture.

Abstract:

The article describes the culture of competition, primarily one of its most important aspect – antitrust legislation. The formation of this legislation is different in particular countries. It can be initiated “from the bottom” (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, etc.) and “from above” (Russia). In these circumstances the main task of the governmental bodies is to find an equilibrium (“golden mean”) between antitrust and pro-competition activities.

Abstract:

City Politics, Canada, James Lightbody, Peterborough: Broadview Press, 2006, pp. 576.Scholarly research on Canadian urban politics has never been extensive, and the few who teach in the field have had to make do with a limited range of textbooks, mostly focused on the institutions of local government. Those wanting to extend their coverage to deal with such issues as the importance of globalization, social movements, race and ethnicity, social inequality, urban political culture, regional governance, the media, and federal policy, have been forced to rely on an assemblage of diverse materials. As well, the politics of, and role played by, the suburbs is often marginal to most texts, focused as they are on the politics of the largest central cities.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article describes current changes in long established policing structures, ideologies and operational practices and links them to changes in the economy and culture of governing and policing late modern societies like Canada. This transition from modern to postmodern policing is marked by the following core changes: (a) the restructuring and relocation of policing authority and responsibility, (b) the re-conceptualization of public policing, and (c) the rationalization and commodification of public and private policing services. These key shifts in policing structure and ideology suggest the declining importance of modern policing assumptions and the emergence of a distinctive postmodern model of public policing in Canada. The social and political implications of this policing transition for citizens, governments and governance are also discussed.

Abstract.In revisiting Michael Murphy's critique of the cultural test adopted by the Supreme Court of Canada to interpret Aboriginal rights, this article takes up the suggestion that the works of Charles Taylor and Will Kymlicka support an inherent understanding of Aboriginal rights. An assessment of the jurisprudence suggests that the Court's approach reflects, rather than contradicts, Taylor's and Kymlicka's rights frameworks, which invoke the same discourse of culture and identity embraced by the Court. The article also contends that the role played by culture in Canada's Aboriginal rights jurisprudence extends well beyond the cultural rationale adopted by the Court.Résumé.En revisitant la critique de Michael Murphy sur l'examen culturel adopté par la Court Suprême du Canada dans l'interprétation des droits indigènes, cet article adopte la suggestion que les travaux de Charles Taylor et Kymlicka supportent une définition inhérente des droits indigènes. Une évaluation de la jurisprudence suggère que la position de la cour reflète, plutôt que contredit, l'approche des droits mise en avant par Taylor et Kymlicka. Celle-ci, en effet accepte le même discours culturel et identitaire que la court. L'article affirme également que le rôle joué par la culture dans la jurisprudence Canadienne sur les droits indigènes se prolonge bien au delà du raisonnement culturel adopté par la court.

Abstract:

In furthering its foreign policy, Canada, as other countries, uses its reputation, advantage and assets to enhance its national interest, and to strengthen its state-to-state, regional and international relations. Comprising a range of instruments, a country's culture and arts stand out as having the unique potential to enrich its foreign policy. Culture and arts have long played a role in Canada's international relations. Government of Canada should develop and implement a comprehensive cultural diplomacy strategy that establish its objectives within the context of Canada's foreign policy, articulate roles and responsibilities, and identify the budgetary resources necessary for the strategy's realization.

Full text

Abstract:

The term “water security” continues to gain traction in water resources literature with broad application to human health, water quality, and sustainability of water supply. These western science applications focus almost exclusively on the material value of water for human uses and activities. This paper offers voice to other interpretations of water security based on semi-structured interviews with Indigenous participants representing varied backgrounds and communities from Saskatchewan, a Canadian prairie province. The results indicate that water security from an Indigenous perspective embraces much more than the material value of water. Five themes emerged from this research that speak to a more holistic framing of water security to include water as a life form, water and the spirit world, women as water-keepers, water and human ethics, and water in Indigenous culture. This broader interpretation provides a more nuanced understanding of water security, which serves to enrich the water security narrative while educating western science.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTNeorickettsia(formerlyEhrlichia)risticiiis an obligatory intracellular bacterium of digenetic trematodes. When a horse accidentally ingests aquatic insects containing encysted trematodes infected withN. risticii, the bacterium is transmitted from trematodes to horse cells and causes an acute and often fatal disease called Potomac horse fever (PHF). Since the discovery ofN. risticiiin the United States in 1984, using immunofluorescence and PCR assays, PHF has been increasingly recognized throughout North America and South America. However, so far, there exist only a few stableN. risticiiculture isolates, all of which are from horses within the United States, and the strain diversity and environmental spreading and distribution of pathogenicN. risticiistrains remain poorly understood. This paper reports the isolation ofN. risticiifrom the blood of a horse with acute PHF in Ontario, Canada. IntracellularN. risticiicolonies were detected in P388D1cells after 47 days of culturing and 8 days after the addition of rapamycin. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on amino acid sequences of major surface proteins P51 and Ssa1 showed that this isolate is distinct from any previously sequenced strains but closely related to midwestern U.S. strains. This is the first Canadian strain cultured, and a new method was developed to reactivate dormantN. risticiito improve culture isolation.IMPORTANCENeorickettsia risticiiis an environmental bacterium that lives inside flukes that are parasitic to aquatic snails, insects, and bats. When a horse accidentally ingests insects harboring flukes infected withN. risticii, the bacterium is transmitted to the horse and causes an acute and often fatal disease called Potomac horse fever. Although the disease has been increasingly recognized throughout North and South America,N. risticiihas not been cultured outside the United States. This paper reports the first Canadian strain cultured and a new method to effectively culture isolateN. risticiifrom the horse blood sample. Molecular analysis showed that the genotype of this Canadian strain is distinct from previously sequenced strains but closely related to midwestern U.S. strains. Culture isolation ofN. risticiistrains would confirm the geographic presence of pathogenicN. risticii, help elucidateN. risticiistrain diversity and environmental spreading and distribution, and improve diagnosis and development of vaccines for this dreadful disease.

Abstract:

The management of the Canada–U.S. asymmetry might be defined as rather successful example. After the World War II Canadian and American officials have developed a set of specific bargaining norms, which can be referred to as the “rules of the game”, and “diplomatic culture”. Their existence leads to predictability of relationships, to empathy, and to expectations of “responsible” behavior. The study of the Canada–U.S. model of civilized asymmetrical relationship lays grounds for further investigation on how it can be applied to the foreign policy strategy of the Russian Federation in its relations with asymmetrical partners from the “near neighbourhood”.

Abstract:

Workplace cultures are an important component in creating safe work environments. In-depth qualitative interviews ( n = 85) were conducted with human service workers of a large publicly administered human service organization in Canada to learn more about the organizational and/or workplace conditions that contribute to a safety culture. Findings reveal that a safety culture within this human service workplace is defined by values or attitudes associated with safety and structured mechanisms that help promote workplace safety. Insights from respondents help to identify areas for workplace and organizational development to promote health and safety within human service workplaces.

Abstract:

The curriculum has a strategic role in supporting teachers in carrying out the learning process and students in skills skills. Curriculum changes that have occurred in several countries such as Japan, South Korea, the United States, and Canada have shown encouraging results. It is proven that the implementation of the curriculum has brought changes, improvements and enhancements to the quality of education in the country. Based on studies conducted, the Social Science curriculum in Canada was created and developed based on subjects. The objectives of Canadian Primary School Social Studies are to provide an understanding of the basic concepts of Social Studies, develop the skills, strategies and habits of thought necessary for effective inquiry and communication, as well as to apply basic Social Science concepts, to a variety of learning tasks, and impart skills. to relate and apply the social studies obtained through social studies to the world outside the classroom. Meanwhile, the goal of elementary school social science in Indonesia is to lay the foundation of intelligence, knowledge, personality, noble morals, and skills to live independently and follow further education. The curriculum in Social Sciences Grades 1 to 6 in Canada, organizes learning in a set of basic concepts, namely systems and structures, interaction and interdependence, environment, change and sustainability, culture, and governance.

Abstract:

In 1970, youthful researchers carried out participant-observer studies of the drug scene in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax. This ethnographic research, prepared for the federal Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs (the LeDain Commission), was part of the commission’s extensive series of unpublished studies. The commission, which released an initial report in 1970, one on cannabis in 1972 and a final report in 1973, adopted a broad approach to the issue of drugs and society. This article examines the unpublished studies as examples of social science “intelligence gathering” on urban social problems. The reports discussed the local market in illegal drugs, its geographic patterns and organizational features, the demographic characteristics of drug sellers and consumers, the culture of the drug scene, and the attitudes of users. Unlike earlier sociological and anthropological studies that focused on prisoners and lower-class “junkies” or more recent studies that examine marginalized inner-city populations, the city studies reflected the era’s fixation on middle-class youth culture and the addiction-treatment sphere’s growing concern with amphetamine abuse.

Full text

Abstract:

The paper summarizes immigration policy models in Germany, France, the UK, the USA and Canada in response to the growing immigration flows since the second half of the XXth century. By contrast with “traditional” nation states of Western Europe, the USA and Canada have developed on the basis of the settler colonies having melted immigrants of various ethnic and cultural origins. The USA and Canada have been prioritizing immigration as a factor of their national development. Although public culture in these immigration states has been developing on some specific cultural patterns, American and Canadian societies have not generated the concepts and perceptions of an “ethno-cultural” core of the nation as such. One of the reasons for current integration issues in the West is the struggle of immigrants for their collective cultural rights in host societies. Differences in political culture between Western European states and immigration states (the USA and Canada in this case) determine the gap in the institutionalization of collective rights for immigrants and, correspondingly, specific character of integration issues. Transition to the pluralistic model of national integration in the USA and Canada is determined by the following factors. First, due to mass immigration, there emerged liberalization of immigration policies. Secondly, in the post-war period, political cultures in liberal democracies witnessed a pronounced republican tendency, due to the ideological influence generated in times of The African-American Civil Rights Movement.

Abstract:

Canada and/in the World is a broad topic that has produced a wide range of diverse publications in the twenty-first century, not only in political science but also in history and other neighbouring disciplines. What they all share is an interest in investigating how Canada, either as a state, a polity, a society, a culture or an idea, intersects with and is part of the international. Yet, along this spectrum we find literature spanning from problem-solving to critical—to use Robert Cox's distinction (1986)—as well as from heavily empirical and policy relevant to theoretically informed. Some works aim to explain, some to facilitate understanding and others to challenge and deconstruct. Thus, while there might be a traditional core of positivist writing centring on liberal internationalism and to a lesser extent (neo)realism, which some claim can be condensed into a list of “the ten most important books on Canadian foreign policy” (Kirton, 2009), there are also strong critical voices that challenge core assumptions about how we conceptualize and examine Canada and/in the world.

Abstract:

A comprehensive survey for endolithic organisms was undertaken to evaluate the distribution of endolithic algae and cyanobacteria in the structure of ancient cliff ecosystems of the Niagara Escarpment. Rocks were collected at 12 sites along the escarpment. Three rock samples were collected from each of five transects for a total of 180 rock samples. Cryptoendolithic or chasmoendolithic organisms were extracted from freshly cleaved faces under laboratory conditions, and attempts were made to culture, grow, and identify these organisms. Cultures of cryptoendolithic organisms were successfully obtained from between 6.7 and 40% of the culture plates from any one site, whereas chasmoendolithic organisms were obtained from 98% of the attempts. Twenty-two taxa were found, including some Cyanophyta that were present at most sites (Chlorogloea) and others that were found rarely (Schizothrix). Cyanophytes were more common at northern sites than southern sites. Among the Chlorophyta, Stichococcus bacillaris was ubiquitous, but Stichococcus exiguus was restricted to one site. The chlorophytes were evenly found along the Escarpment. No geographical trends were obvious among the Xanthophyceae, but some taxa such as Chloridella neglecta were common and others such as Ellipsoidion stichococcoides were not. These results suggest that endolithic organisms within the rocky limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment are not uniform in abundance or species composition. Consequently, management plans intended to maintain microbial species diversity in the face of different patterns of land use and environmental pollution may have to be location-specific along the escarpment.Key words: terrestrial algae, cryptoendolithic organisms, cliffs, Niagara Escarpment.

Abstract:

The incompatibility system of four Laccaria bicolor collections was studied and found to be bifactorial with multiallelic mating type factors. One of the collections studied was a biological species of L. bicolor that was intersterile, but morphologically identical, with the others. Seedling growth parameters and ectomycorrhiza formation were measured after inoculation with (i) four sibling mating type monokaryons of a collection from Canada and from Sweden; (ii) four dikaryons formed by crossing the two compatible mating type pairs within each of these collections; and (iii) 16 dikaryons formed by crossing each mating type monokaryon from Canada and Sweden in all possible combinations. Each seedling growth parameter showed significant differences resulting from inoculation with different cultures. Ectomycorrhizal formation was also different depending on the culture used as inoculum. Possibilities for using the differences among cultures in studies of the genetics, physiology, and morphogenesis of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis are discussed. The possibility of creating improved strains of ectomycorrhizal fungi for use in forest management is also discussed.

Abstract:

Résumé.Cet article propose, grâce à la notion de culture stratégique, une articulation du lien entre identité et politique étrangère. Il met plus particulièrement l'accent sur les effets des identités ethnoculturelles (anglophone et francophone) sur la politique de sécurité internationale du Canada, et soutient l'hypothèse qu'il en résulte une culture stratégique atlantiste et biculturelle, laquelle accorde une importance particulière à la France (de même qu'à la Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis). Il ressort de l'analyse historique de celle-ci que la centralité des identités ethnoculturelles canadiennes permet de mieux comprendre l'importance particulière dont jouit la France sur les limites normatives du multilatéralisme et de la légitimité de recourir à la force militaire par le Canada.Abstract.This article seeks to provide a constructivist account of Canadian foreign policy, linking identity and policy, through the concept of strategic culture. It focuses on Canada's dual ethnocultural identities (Anglophone and Francophone) and the bicultural and Atlanticist strategic culture that stems from it. It argues that this strategic culture helps explain France's significant importance (together with the United Kingdom and the United States) in defining the normative boundaries of Canada's multilateralism and legitimacy to use of military force abroad.

Abstract:

Drawing on eighty interviews with mixed couples in Quebec, this article discusses how parents in such unions negotiate strategies of cultural transmission and develop “identity projects” for their children, that is, blueprints for the children’s ethnic identities. Our data show that instead of one person having to take on the other’s culture, and the children adopting that culture, both partners usually embrace cultural differences as enriching for themselves, their children, and the society in which they live. It is not so much a question of transmitting a “heritage” but rather making available a set of virtual cultural resources to the child that he or she will activate (or not) later in life. We argue that through the choices they make, mixed couples contribute to shaping a society where plural identities are normalized. In so doing, they become important agents of social change and participate in the creation of an enduring diversity, a long-term transformation of Quebec society, and even contribute to the multiple meanings of “Quebecois.”

Abstract:

This conference was organized by the Ontario Institute for Studies inEducation (OISE), Toronto, Canada. Approximately 166 participants,representing various disciplines and different countries, attended theeight plenary and twenty concurrent sessions. Its purpose was to bringtogether Eastern and Western knowledge through culture via an exchangeof ideas and deliberations, an exposition of theories, and an examinationof the contributions of various cultures-mainly China's-to humancivilization.The papers presented and the discussions that ensued were extremelyenlightening and concentrated on the following issues: a) the contributionsmade to knowledge by specific cultures (mainly Chinese, Indian,and Muslim); b) knowledge transferreed from the West to the East doesnot consider the attributes of the East; c) the East is responsible forfinding ways to adapting its cultures to imported knowledge; and d) socialscience knowledge is better generated when social science researchersabandon natural science methodologies (i.e., realism and positivism) andrecognize that the social sciences should be based on qualitative research.There were a few papers on the above-mentioned themes that wereoutstanding. Abdul Rahman, in his "Spheres of Life: Inheritance, Creativity,and Society," emphasized the holistic nature of knowledge. Thisknowledge does not underestimate or neglect the contributions of differentcountries (races) in developing the present (current) civilization.Abdul Rahman indicated that the lack of a holistic view of knowlege atpresent has also led knowledge to be fragmented ...

Abstract:

A growing awareness of the difference between the supply and demand for fish products is fueling rapid growth of an aquaculture industry in Canada, including a freshwater sector, based mainly on the cage farming of rainbow trout. Cage farms can release relatively large loads of organic matter and nutrients to the environment. In consequence, federal and provincial resource management agencies need to develop regulatory instruments that will foster the growth of the industry while ensuring minimal water quality impacts. Such instruments should be science based, but there are currently key gaps in our understanding of the water quality implications of the operations of freshwater cage aquaculture. Here I review the state of science of the water quality implications of cage aquaculture and identify 11 knowledge gaps that currently hamper the development of sound, science-based cage culture management instruments. Perhaps the most important finding of the review is the recognition that, while aquaculture has produced significant increases in lakewater total phosphorus (TP) levels in some situations, classic phosphorus mass balance models may substantially overestimate the contributions of cage farms to TP concentrations in some lakes. Research on this, and perhaps the other knowledge gaps identified in this review, should aid the development of sound management instruments for freshwater cage aquaculture in Canada and elsewhere. Key words: aquaculture, cage culture, water quality issues, phosphorus, BOD, review, research needs, freshwaters.
