Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, and the Minister responsible for Official Languages

À l’occasion de sa revue de presse, jeudi, Paul Arcand revient sur la sortie de Paul St-Pierre Plamondon concernant les artistes qui manquent, selon lui, de loyauté à l’égard du Québec. Lors d’un point de presse, le chef du Parti québécois a fustigé les porte-paroles du milieu culturel qui ont salué la nomination de Marc Miller comme ministre fédéral de la Culture. Il leur a reproché de manquer de décence alors que le nouveau ministre a suscité l’ire de plusieurs Québécois en disant être «tanné» du débat entourant le déclin du français. Dans une publication sur les réseaux sociaux, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon a même dénoncé l’aplaventrisme des porte-paroles qui représentent les artistes du Québec, soulignant qu’ils doivent agir de manière cohérente vis-à-vis les gestes du fédéral qui viennent affaiblir le rayonnement de la culture québécoise. Autres sujets abordés Un jeune tue ses parents et sa grand-mère, mais les psychiatres affirment qu’il n’est pas responsable de ses gestes; Cododo: un bébé de 26 jours meurt accidentellement; La saga entre Québec et les médecins; Le gouvernement Legault coupe l’aide sociale aux réfugiés, Les partisans des Canadiens rendent hommage à Andreï Markov.

Aujourd'hui dans le podcast, on commente la crise de bacon des représentants du milieu artistique québécois à la suite du tweet du chef du Parti québécois Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon, qui accuse ces leaders d'un manque de cohérence face à leur acclamation de la nomination de Marc Miller comme nouveau ministre de la Culture et du Patrimoine canadien sachant que ceux-ci souhaitent toujours des subventions du fédéral.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre roasted Laurentian elites this weekend and said the recently resigned cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault's "brand of crazy" fits in with the NDP's alignment with “furries and queers for Palestine.” Following the resignation of Steven Guilbeault last week, Marc Miller has been appointed to Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet to assume the role of Canadian Culture Minister. A new poll finds that lacking a family doctor could mean Canadians are more than twice as likely to struggle accessing the rest of Canada's health care system, including early screening for cancer.Tune in to the Daily Brief with Cosmin Dzsurdzsa and Geoff Knight !

Ottawa is one year into its two-year temporary international student visa cap project, and post-secondary institutions across the country are heavily feeling the effects of a limited international tuition profit margin. Former Immigrations, Refugee and Citizenship Minister, Marc Miller, introduced the program of January 2024 which hopes of tightening up any immigration loopholes found within the student visa guidelines, as well as to alleviate housing and healthcare pressures brought on by the influx of students. But halfway through the plan, and cuts to dozens of programs and campuses are now starting to paint a clearer picture of what may be to come. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Gina Lorentz, Professor and Coordinator for Fanshawe College's Multimedia Journalism program and President of the Radio-Television Digital News Foundation for Canada, about what things are looking for students across the province and where the future of local journalism could potentially go from here.

This Canadian election will be a sprint, not a marathon. Only 30 days remain! And so, World Report wants to help you find the best election podcast to keep you informed. Today, we present The House with Catherine Cullen, a weekend digest dedicated to making politics make sense. This wide-ranging show talks to people across the political spectrum.

There's been no shortage of drama one week into this sprint election campaign, which is already affected by U.S. President Donald Trump and his tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump spoke with each other for the first time ever, the day after Carney said Canada's old economic and military relationship with the U.S. is “over.” Goldy Hyder, CEO of the Business Council of Canada, explains the impact of Trump's tariffs and the bigger economic risk of retaliatory tariffs that could drop next week. Then, Liberal candidate Marc Miller discusses how his party is prepared for the intensifying Canada-U.S. trade war.Then, as federal party leaders fan out across Canada, CBC reporters on the road send us postcards from the campaign trail — with analysis on the Liberal, Conservative, NDP and Bloc Québécois campaigns so far.After that, party strategists explore the biggest takeaways from the first week of the campaign and what they want their team to do next.Finally, The House hears from a CBC Manitoba provincial affairs reporter about the tight NDP-Conservative battle in the Winnipeg riding of Elmwood-Transcona, where strategic voting is coming up at the doorstep.This episode features the voices of:Goldy Hyder, president and CEO of the Business Council of CanadaMarc Miller, Liberal candidate for Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-SœursJohn Paul Tasker, CBC reporter following the ConservativesTom Parry, CBC reporter following the LiberalsMarina von Stackelberg, CBC reporter following the NDPRaffy Boudjikanian, CBC reporter following the Bloc QuébécoisMarci Surkes, Liberal strategistKate Harrison, Conservative strategistGeorge Soule, NDP strategistBartley Kives, CBC Manitoba senior reporter

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling for interparty unity in the face of Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. But it didn't take long for the Liberal-Conservative divisions to appear. So is it still realistic to talk about Team Canada? Two Ottawa bureau chiefs weigh in on Canada's attempt to show a united front against the incoming U.S. president.Next, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly joins Catherine Cullen to discuss Canada's new Arctic foreign policy, the crisis in the Middle East and whether there's a way to stop Trump's tariff threat before the president-elect takes office in January.Then, representatives and experts of Canadian universities and colleges explain how the federal government's dramatic cut in international student visas will affect their institutions, including whether they need to shave programs. Minister of Immigration Marc Miller and Ontario Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy also share their thoughts on who's to blame for the funding crisis facing Canadian post-secondary institutions.This episode features the voices of:Tonda MacCharles, Ottawa bureau chief for the Toronto StarStuart Thomson, parliamentary bureau chief for the National PostMélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign AffairsMeti Basiri, CEO and co-founder of ApplyBoardAlan Shepard, president of Western UniversityPari Johnston, president and CEO of Colleges and Institutes CanadaMarc Miller, Minister of ImmigrationPeter Bethlenfalvy, Ontario Minister of Finance

At the beginning of this year, immigration minister Marc Miller said the government was looking to rein in the number of international study permits it would be granting, in a bid to take pressure off the strained housing market. But that's been bad news for the post-secondary institutions for which a significant part of their operating budgets come from tuition fees from international students. Colleges in southern Ontario have been particularly hard hit, with many announcing cuts and consolidations — and there could be more to come.But it's only part of the problem. Alex Usher, the president of Higher Education Strategy Associates, explains the crisis Canadian universities and colleges are now dealing with: the result of years of cuts and a refusal to spend more on our post-secondary institutions.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

On Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a major reduction in the number of permanent residents the country will admit over the next three years, saying his government had not gotten the balance between labour needs and population growth “quite right.”In 2025 and 2026, the government had initially planned to bring in 500,000 permanent residents – now, they've set a target of 395,000 and 380,000, respectively. In 2027, that target is 365,000 permanent residents. This signifies a major policy reversal for the Trudeau government – and would mean that Canada's net population is projected to decline by 0.2 per cent per year over the next two years.Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, joins us to discuss why the government is cutting Canada's immigration targets, and why he says Canadians should trust the Liberals to fix the problem.Questions?

That long-awaited Liberal caucus meeting where a group of MPs asked Trudeau to step down as party leader came — and went. In less than 24 hours after hearing their concerns, Trudeau told reporters that he would continue as Liberal leader. So… Now what? And where does this leave the Liberal Party? The House goes behind closed doors and breaks down the tense caucus meeting, then two political strategists talk about what comes next.Plus, as the federal government announces a steep cut to immigration over the next three years, minister Marc Miller sits down with The House to explain the major policy change and what message he says it sends to prospective newcomers who want to enter Canada.And finally, after a slate of back-to-back-to-back provincial elections in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, CBC reporters in all three provinces join The House to discuss what federal parties can learn from the results as a national campaign looms.This episode features the voices of: Vandana Katter, political strategistFred DeLorey, political strategistAlicia Backman-Beharry, an immigration lawyer with Holthe Immigration LawMarc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship of CanadaMeera Bains, CBC NewsJacques Poitras, CBC NewsAdam Hunter, CBC News

Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news you've already heard.https://www.enworld.org/threads/mongoose-acquires-twilight-2000-and-2300-ad.707036/Mongoose Publishing is at it again. Recently we discussed that Marc Miller had turned over publishing of the Traveller RPG to Mongoose and now they have picked up the rights to Twilight 2000 and 2300 AD. Mongoose has been publishing 2300 AD under licensing since 2007 and currently Free League has the publishing rights for Twilight 2000. Mongoose reports nothing will change and Free League will continue with Twilight 2000 until the current licensing phase ends.While not necessarily canonical Twilight 2000, 2300 AD, and Traveller all feel like part of the same universe and this seems to open up a huge IP space for Mongoose going forward.Mike, what are your thoughts?[Kick to Mike]Christina, your take?[Kick to Christina]Our next item was a minor if interesting article from Rascal Newshttps://www.rascal.news/oh-captain-my-captain-rpg-simon-and-schuster/The article starts with “On September 24, Simon & Schuster's Adams Media released Oh Captain, My Captain! a Descended From The Queen RPG by James D'Amato. This marks the first time in recent memory that an imprint of the Big 5 (the largest entities in book publishing, which include S&S, Penguin Random House, Hatchette Livre, HarperCollins, and Macmillan) has produced a standalone tabletop roleplaying game.”I guess I have a longer memory, because TSR had a publishing deal, albeit a rather strange one, with Random House in the 1980s and for a long time Dungeons and Dragons was a common sight in traditional bookstores of the day. But, to be fair the low sales of RPGs dropped them from consideration by traditional publishing houses decades ago.This is what I find interesting. The article discusses the possibilities that TTRPGs might once again become a hot product at the traditional publishing houses and how that's a good thing, however, the traditional publishing companies are not in a good place write now.Indie publishing and self-publishing, especially with the creation of Kindle Unlimited have done a number on the traditional publishing companies and they no longer hold the book world in a vice grip. This almost seems like a desperate grab by the Big 5 to gain some market share.Mike, thoughts?

In 1977 Marc Miller, bored with the Chess Club at Illinois State University, made his way to the Strategic Games Club…the rest they say is history.Ok, for those of you that have no idea who Marc Miller is or why the fact that Chess is boring matters I'll go a little deeper.Marc Miller, Frank Chadwick, John Harshman, and Loren Wiseman created the roleplaying game Traveller, that's with 2 L's by the way, in 1977 born out of games at that Strategic Games Club.Traveller is the quintessential sci-fi roleplaying game, building on the science fiction novels of the 1960 and 70's and coming onto the scene just after Dungeons and Dragons and before Star Wars.My first dive into Traveller started in 1983 with the Classic Traveller Starter Edition. I still have the boxed set buried somewhere in a pile of old games. I remember stumbling across it in my friendly local gaming store and being taken by the cover art. Three heroes wearing golden armor with a space ship flying overhead.I had just watched the Return of the Jedi a few days earlier in the theatre so I had to get the game, and boy it did not disappoint.What disappointed me was all my friends. I couldn't find anyone to play it with me. But that was ok, because the character generation portion of the book was so good it was like a solo game all on its own. I made so many characters…or at least tried to make so many characters, a lot of them didn't make it. But we will come back to that.Fast forward a few decades and finally I get to run a Traveller game.It was a blast and if you want to hear all about it listen to our “Anatomy of a Campaign” series.Christina, do you remember the first time you ever heard of Traveller?[kick to Christina]There are a lot of versions of Traveller out there, many of them still being played, and while we might discuss bits and pieces from the other versions, we are going to focus this discussion mostly on the new caretaker of the Traveller Legacy, Mongoose Publishing and their 2nd Edition Version of Traveller.Christina, before we dive into Traveller give us the disclaimer.[Kick to Christina] – We aren't getting paid for this. They didn't give us any games or material or support. We actually played the game, a lot.Now that the official stuff is out of the way, what do you like best about the system?

Welcome to you heard it here last where we talk about news you've already heard.We are starting this week off with some good news.https://www.reddit.com/r/traveller/comments/1f2le2u/mongoose_publishing_now_owns_traveller/?share_id=uyOnyDYBcc2twtg2LBUZi&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&utm_source=share&utm_term=22Traveller is a 1977 table top roleplaying game that brought science fiction into roleplaying. Building on the success of Dungeon and Dragons introduced in 1974, Traveller dropped onto the scene just before Star Wars hit the big screen, and boy did it make a splash. Today Traveller is considered a seminal work in the world of table top roleplaying. Marc Miller, one of the creative minds behind Traveller recently announced that Mongoose Publishing will be carrying the torch of Traveller if anything might happen to him. This succession plan for the game was important to Marc Miller and even though Traveller has been published by a variety of game companies and publisher, ensuring the future of this beloved franchise was important to him.And I am very happy to hear this.Christina, I know that Sci-Fi is one of your jams.
