Society must work hard to solve the problems of unfit family life and irresponsible parenting. The shortcut: "Let the government do it" for our own good, or even "for babies' sake," is the proverbial pavement of good intentions. Although there's a monument in Winnipeg's new Sgt. Prince Veterans Park proclaiming Thomas George Prince as "Canada's most decorated aboriginal soldier," the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa both officially recognize Francis Pegahmagabow of Wasauksing First Nation in Ontario. As a recently retired teacher, I have an interest in education issues. This recent issue regarding sick notes for the Jan. 25 blizzard is the last straw for me. What's next? Sick notes from mommy? Start treating us like adults. If we have better working conditions...

The fact is humans are not all the same. We vary. Some of this variation is geographic and some genetic. If your ancestors lived in south Asia, you probably look different than if they were from east Africa or northern Europe. These differences in physical features correspond to differences in genes, but the overall genetic differences are, in fact, small. Were we to randomly select two individuals from, say, France, and then randomly select two individuals, one from France and the other from Tanzania, the average genetic difference for the latter would only be slightly different than the former. For most human traits, most variation occurs within, not between populations, which undermines the importance of race in terms of explaining differences between peoples. Others who tread on for...

The Swampscott Conference focused on prevention as its theoretical underpinning, noting that treatment has never eliminated any disease. Later other theoretical frameworks were placed alongside prevention including empowerment (Prilleltensky, 1994; Rappaport, 1981) and cognitive community psychology (O'Neill, 1981). In addition to the clinicians, others also came on board, most significantly those who worked in education and were dissatisfied with the limited role given to psychologists in school settings (see especially [Sarason], 1971). This evolution of theory and practice, especially as it played out in Canada, is well detailed in Nelson and Lavoie (2010). The Nelson and Lavoie paper on contributions is no mere listing of Canadian community psychologists. It contains much thoughtful...
