I am curious as to Selena Hinds' reasoning for referring to the ethnic background of the would-be rescuer. "A Filipino man jumped in after them when he realized the pair might drown..." Explain to me what possible bearing this man's ethnic background had on the story.
It's easy to say that anything worth fighting for is worth dying for. But we must understand and believe in what we're fighting for. That's no longer true in Afghanistan.
Should Canada continue to contribute troops to the war in Afghanistan? This is an agonizing question for Canadians. Watching the almost daily news of another soldier fallen is a truly painful experience. There are clearly reasons to stay and reasons to leave. One factor that I think should go into the decision is whether Canada is, in a sense, losing mor...

Judicial alteration of the meaning of civil marriage from union of a man and woman to the union of any two persons raises a number of legal issues not raised by legislative redefinition; these are separation-of-powers issues centered in notions of the proper scope and role of judicial review, creation of standards to guide judicial application of broad and open-ended constitutional guarantees like equality, liberty, and dignity, judicial deference to the political branches, and the like. Here, Stewart examines whether the tasks of the judiciary in these areas are done well by citing appellate cases.

For the firefighters at the airport's Emergency Response Service, the memory of Swissair 111's crash in 1998 at Peggy's Cove, N.S., is a constant reminder to remain alert. Sixteen firefighters work here in shifts of four around the clock, based in a small building on the southwestern corner of the airport's property.

A portrait of Shanawdithit, painted by William Gosse in 1828, shows a stolid, mature person with a penetrating and reproachful look. And why wouldn't she look disapproving? Her people had been wiped out and she'd been made a servant in the household of the man responsible for her uncle's murder.
Coming upon a trapper skinning a beaver, the women were horrified to realize they'd stumbled upon William Cull, whom they recognized as the murderer of Shanawdithit's mother's cousin 20 years earlier. They knelt to receive bullets from the musket aimed at them, but instead, a miracle of sorts occurred. They were saved, for the government was offering an award for the delivery of live Beothuks in an attempt to save the dying race.
The women were marched overland, finally boarding boats bearing th...

This article focuses on rural girls' aspirations of becoming migrants in a setting where girls are subjected to social constraints curtailing their movements in the midst of an otherwise mobile society, where mothers and grandmothers frequently recall their experiences in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, and boys set off on their first migration in their mid- or late teens. However, the high level of mobility affects both intergenerational relations and the ways in which girls can justify their wish to migrate. Based on multi-sited ethnographic research between 2002 and 2008 in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, the article explores the ways in which images of success and material wealth of (trans)national migrants feed into adolescent girls' imaginations of migration and its outcome. Furthermore,...
