Nick Martin quotes the Manitoba Human Rights Commission chairwoman as saying the Garden Valley School Division is creating "a poisoned environment" in its schools. He also quotes Janet Baldwin as saying "I gave them a little lecture on the code and indicated how that protects religion, including atheists." Let's get to the last, first. Atheism is not a religion. It is a philosophy but it's not a religion. Secondly, regarding what is stated as being a "poisoned environment", have her tell us what is poisonous about the following messages;
If a man strike you on the left cheek, turn to him the right"; "Love thy neighbour as thyself"; "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Tell me, Ms. Baldwin, just what is "poisonous" about that?

Protesting a ban imposed by the university administration on one topic of discussion, she demanded that the restriction be lifted "in accordance with a basic commitment to freedom of expression and organization in the democratic context of the public university ... This strange and unprecedented ban," the National Post quotes her as writing, "is a blatant violation of democratic freedoms of speech and dissent, and an attack on students' right to organize. It is the position of the YFS (York Students Federation) and GSA (Graduate Students Association) that universities are sites where discussions and debates about difficult geo-political questions should be promoted, not stifled. International controversy ... cannot be resolved through repression, but through ongoing intellectual exchang...

He's a man who made my city, Winnipeg, a better place to live," said Ferguson's close friend, Ted Foreman, during his eulogy. "We will all miss him, but when God needed a first-round draft pick for his all-star team, he looked down and chose our friend, No. 22, [John Bowie Ferguson]. Rest in peace, my friend.
Foreman took the letters of Ferguson's nickname -- he was known as Fergie to most -- to describe his friend. When he got to 'G' he said: "G is for grumpy, but unlike that scowl on the face when the Jets had a bad night, our friend was like a good dinner roll -- crusty on the outside but soft on the inside."

This article explores the experiences of clients inside the Collaborative Law process. Analyzing the results of a pilot study, the authors discuss the degree to which clients were meaningfully engaged in the process, and identify reported imbalances in power as one of the most significant barriers to client engagement. Clients' reflections also help to identify the degree to which Collaborative Law's unique features either overcame or exacerbated significant imbalances. While lawyers had considerable influence over how the process was experienced, what clients brought to the table also appeared influential, leading the authors to conclude that more attention must be paid to screening.

This study investigates tattoo removal as a means of identity negotiation using Brewer's (1991) optimal distinctiveness theory as the conceptual foundation. Twenty-two informants who ranged in age from 19 to 43 participated in in-depth interviews telling their stories of tattoo acquisition and removal. Findings unpack the relationship between consumption, disposition, and the different aspects of the self-concept. Informants who felt overly individuated (or assimilated) in a frequently activated social identity group because of tattoo acquisition, compensated for this conflict by enhancing feelings of affiliation (or differentiation) in another frequently activated social identity via tattoo removal. This study extends previous research on the role of consumption in shaping the maintena...

What happens, then, when we tangle with long-standing feminist critics of some aspects of science and technology such as the issue of embodiment? [Sarah Kember] addresses this issue both in earlier sections where she engages with [Alife] and the socio-political particulars of artificial intelligence in games, and in her conclusion that is based on [Donna Haraway]'s work and in particular her claim that "biology is one of the great 'representing machines' of the century" (p. 179). Embodiment, Kember notes, has long been locked inside the dualism of nature/culture where both Alife and earlier feminist criticism of science and technology fall into the cultural half or social constructionist camp. Instead, Kember cites trends in technoscience as well as in the science and technology itself ...
