After John A. Macdonald's death, four Tory prime ministers — each remarkable but all little known — rose to power and fell in just five years. From 1891 to 1896, between John A. Macdonald's and Wilfrid Laurier's tenures, four lesser-known men took on the mantle of leadership. Tory prime ministers John Abbott, John Thompson, Mackenzie Bowell, and Charles Tupper headed the government of Canada in rapid succession. Each came to the job with qualifications and limitations, and each left after unexpectedly short terms. Yet these reluctant prime ministers are an important part of our political legacy. Their roles were much more than caretakers between the administrations of two great leaders. Personal tragedy, terrible health issues, backstabbing, and political manipulation all led to their eventual downfalls. The Lost Prime Ministers: Macdonald's Successors Abbott, Thompson, Bowell, and Tupper (Dundurn, 2022) is the dramatic saga of these overlooked Canadian leaders.

In Part 2 of our series on chronic homelessness in Waterloo Region, we explore the three main causes of homelessness through two voices - criminologist Dr. Erin Dej from Wilfrid Laurier, and Marjorie, an advocate who's lived through it, and now helps those who are struggling. This episode is a helpful reminder that in order to prevent and end chronic homelessness, we must look beyond the individual and relational factors to the bigger issues that we can all have a role in addressing.

Suite à l'annonce que Frank est en possession du dernier livre de Josée Legault, "Les nouveaux démons", l'émission débute avec la dernière prise de bec de Pierre Poilievre avec une journaliste insistante de la Presse canadienne. Les animateurs commentent également la réaction des médias aux propos de Donald Trump sur l'OTAN, soulignant que la plupart reconnaissent la pertinence du fond, mais critiquent la forme. Une nouvelle suscite l'indignation : un propriétaire de Montréal est contraint par la municipalité de construire un garage conforme, ce qui lui coûtera 50 000$ sous sa maison. Ian partage ensuite un extrait de la candidate au Sénat américain Barbara Lee, qui propose d'augmenter le salaire minimum à 50$ de l'heure pour lutter contre l'inflation. La première ministre de l'Alberta Danielle Smith ramasse de manière magistrale sur Twitter (X), le ministre de l'Environnement fédéral Steven Guilbeault sur sa dernière déclaration que le Canada ne doit plus construire de route afin que les citoyens priorisent la marche, le vélo, le scooter, etc. DANS LA PARTIE PATREON, on commence en parlant d'une étude de David Haskell de l'université Wilfrid Laurier sur le programme EDI (équité, diversité, inclusion) qui créerait davantage de problèmes qu'autre chose lorsqu'il est implanté. Après Ian nous lit un article satire sur l'université Harvard écrit par Samuel Fitoussi. Par la suite, Ian nous présente les résultats de son sondage maison sur Twitter (X) demandant si le Parti Québécois est capable d'écrire une constitution du Québec qui protège les droits et libertés individuelles de chacun. On termine avec de nombreux articles de Denis Coderre qui s'attaque directement au Parti québécois et se met en grand capitaine du Canada uni et du mouvement du NON contre la souveraineté. Il souhaite recentrer le PLQ et se dit en faveur d'un troisième lien à Québec.

Genom historien har många vetenskapliga upptäckter gjorda av kvinnor tillskrivits män. Så är också fallet inom astronomin och astrofysiken. För att berätta mer om dessa kvinnor som än i dag inte är särskilt kända och deras banbrytande forskning har Intergalaktiskt bjudit in Shohini Ghose, professor i fysik vid Wilfrid Laurier universitetet i Kanada och författare till boken Her Space, Her Time. I avsnittet pratar hon med Bill Burrau och Viktor Krylmark om hur man mäter avståndet till avlägsna galaxer och om vad stjärnor faktiskt består av. Dessutom, vad är grejen med att Bill inte kan se bilder framför sig? Vill du komma i kontakt med oss? Har önskemål på spännande rymdfenomen som vi borde prata om?

A factor of small but growing importance at the end of Salisbury's premierships, and during Balfour's that followed, was offered by the Labour Representation Committee. It had been formed by trades unions working with left-wing parties of the working class, most notably Keir Hardie's Independent Labour Party. With no MPs before the election of 1900, it had grown to four by 1903 which, in an environment in which third parties have trouble establishing themselves, was a substantial development. Meanwhile, the ruling Unionists were beginning to divide against each other. The question that finally split them was Tariff reform, the same issue that had split them back in 1846 when Robert Peel repealed the corn laws to usher in a long period of free trade without tariffs, but in the opposite direction: the tariff reformers at the start of the twentieth century, led by Joseph Chamberlain, wanted to reintroduce tariffs. The aim was both to create barriers protecting British industry and agriculture (even if that meant increasing the price of food, painful above all for the poor), and to allow for imperial preference, the system which would draw the colonies closer to the mother country by exempting their economies from certain tariffs. Three factions emerged within the Unionist coalition, right up to cabinet level. One, led by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, remained wedded to free trade. A second, the Prime Minister's, was sympathetic but wanted to proceed slowly. The third, Chamberlain's, was for rapid introduction of tariffs and imperial preference. Split parties don't win elections, and now the Unionists were hopelessly split. With an election looming. Illustration: Some of the white, male attendees at the 1902 Colonial Conference. Joseph Chamberlain is in the middle of the front row, with Wilfrid Laurier,Prime Minister of Canada to his right (our left).

En ce mois de novembre, on commémore toujours les soldats canadiens qui se sont battus au front, durant la Grande Guerre de 1914-1918, dans les tranchées européennes. Ce dont on se souvient moins, c'est que beaucoup de Canadiens n'avaient pas envie d'y aller. En 1917, quand le premier ministre du Canada décide d'imposer la conscription il y a une forte opposition. Et surtout au Québec.

As attacks continue on Palestinian people in Gaza, Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism is on the rise.

To help us understand what is happening, and the impact on Muslim people here in Canada and elsewhere, we're joined by Dr. Jasmin Zine, professor in sociology and religion and culture at Wilfrid Laurier university.

It's been 10 years since Justin Trudeau became leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.That not only makes him one of today's longest-serving party leaders in the country, it also puts him on a short list of historic Liberal leaders: only Lester Pearson, Jean Chrétien, Pierre Trudeau, Mackenzie King and Wilfrid Laurier have held the job longer than Justin Trudeau has.He says he will lead the Liberals into the next election, but a decade is already more than enough time to leave a mark. To discuss Trudeau's legacy to date, I'm joined this week by the CBC's Aaron Wherry, who wrote a book on the first years of Trudeau's time in office, and Susan Delacourt of the Toronto Star.As always, in addition to listening to the episode in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.

Last year when John Duffy, a Canadian political strategist and writer, died at the age of 58, I noticed an outpouring of genuine love, and sadness, on Twitter, along with frequent references to his book Fights of our Lives. It was called one the best ever written on Canadian politics. So I picked up a copy. It's filled with dozens of old photographs, and images of period posters, and flyers, buttons, correspondence, and other fascinating bits and pieces of ephemera and memorabilia: the 'confetti of history' as Walter Benjamin liked to put it, plus it features these great 'diagrams' of game plans, 'playbooks,' that John came up with to explain the strategies and tactics used in what he considered to be the five most consequential elections in Canadian history. It was visually captivating, and a fun informative read, so I decided to feature it on The Biblio File Book Club. But who to engage with?   Several people suggested Justin Trudeau's close friend and advisor, Gerry Butts. After a bit of toing and froing, and my prematurely and, as it turns out, quite erroneously, dismissing him as a typical political bounder, it all came together. Gerry agreed to play ball. We met in person several days ago at the Chateau Laurier hotel in Ottawa.    Gerry is currently Vice Chairman of The Eurasia Group, a risk management firm with offices around the world. We talk here about John Duffy's optimism, about whether or not elections matter; about cynicism, championship debating, Canada's business elite, the PBO's report on income inequality, the urban-rural divide, 1300 Dollarama stores, lifting children out of poverty, the King-Bing Affair, SNC Lavalin, the Manitoba School crisis, Wilfrid Laurier and Justin Trudeau's 'Sunny Ways,' kicking the can down the road; Lament for a Nation, and Mel Hurtig. There's a James Joyce quote. Gerry tells a joke about Franz Kafka on the way out the door, and I recommend that he reads Nora Krug's illustrated edition of On Tyranny.    Plus another thing: we're both convinced that John Duffy's Fights of our Lives (egregiously it's both out of print and published by an American multi-national) should be made into a TV Series as soon as possible.

Les États-Unis représentent la principale puissance militaire, économique et culturelle de notre époque. Le magnat de la presse américaine Henry Luce l'avait d'ailleurs annoncé dans un éditorial du Time en 1941 : le 20e siècle serait le siècle américain — n'en déplaise au premier ministre Wilfrid Laurier qui avait dit à peu près la même chose du Canada quelques décennies plus tôt. Erratum: décès de Chateaubriand en 1848 et non 1792. Et Stagecoach est sorti en 1939.

La ciencia contempla algunos misterios en la creación que aún no ha podido explicar. En un reciente artículo publicado por The Christian Courier, Rudy Eikelboom, profesor of psicología en la universidad canadiense Wilfrid Laurier, explica que las galaxias no tienen la suficiente fuerza gravitacional para mantenerse unidas. Por eso, deberían dispersarse por el universo pero no lo hacen. La comunidad científica especula entonces sobre la posibilidad de que exista una “materia obscura” que resulta de la partícula sub-atómica, aún por descubrir, llamada acertadamente “axioma”. Es decir, para explicar lo inexplicable, los científicos asumen la existencia de algo que desconocen y que, de alguna manera que no pueden probar aún, “sostiene todas las cosas”; y eso se parece mucho a la fe.

Le 17 février 1919 une hémorragie cérébrale emporte avec elle l'ancien premier ministre Wilfrid Laurier. Celui qui figure aujourd'hui sur les billets de 5$ laisse alors derrière lui une carrière politique bien remplie au cours de laquelle il a développé l'Ouest canadien (créant même deux provinces – l'Alberta et la Saskatchewan – au passage) et positionné le Canada sur la scène internationale.

Canada! Isn’t it a multicultural paradise where people leave their doors unlocked and every morning citizens of all nations come together to share syrup-glazed pancakes??

I talked to the ever loveable and knowledgeable Josh D’Addario about Canada’s deeper problems. How did a country with a deeply troubling treatment of Native Americans and the environment come to be seen as a liberal Valhalla in the media? Is it all down to pretty-boy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or has washing with sweet maple syrup always been the Canadian way? Come for that, stay for the Drake-bashing.

Twenty-five years after the genocide against the Tutsi began in Rwanda, in April, 1994, this episode takes a look at the lessons learned since then, for media, peacekeepers and communities that have lived through conflict and violence. Joining host Bessma Momani is genocide survivor Régine Uwibereyeho King, author Allan Thompson and researchers Timothy Donais and Eric Tanguay. They explain why this was indeed a global event, not just a Rwandan event, and what kind of wake up call it gave to journalists, media consumers and the United Nations. The gap still exists between what protection is promised to civilians in harm’s way and what is actually given, but has the gap lessened? How far have we come in learning how to prevent such an atrocity, which saw 800,000 to 1 million people killed in 100 days? Our host Bessma Momani is professor at the Balsillie School of International Affairs and University of Waterloo and a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation. She’s also a non-resident senior fellow at the Stimson Center in Washington, D.C. and a Fulbright Scholar. She has been non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. and a 2015 Fellow at the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation. She’s a frequent analyst and expert on international affairs in Canadian and global media. This week’s guests Timothy Donais is the director of the Masters in International Policy program, associate director of the PhD program in Global Governance and associate professor in the Department of Global Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University. He also serves as the chair of the Peace and Conflict Studies Association of Canada. Eric Tanguay is a PhD candidate with the Balsillie School of International Affairs. His current research focuses primarily on the recent history of political and ethnic violence in Kenya; the politicization of ethnicity; the role of civil society organizations in shaping political consciousness and identity; and the role of memory and history in facilitating conflict resolution and post-conflict reconciliation. Eric completed his Master’s degree in history at Wilfrid Laurier. Régine Uwibereyeho King is an associate professor in the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Calgary. She has a Ph.D. from the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto. As a survivor of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, she has dedicated her life to social justice, human rights for all, and healthy communities. Allan Thompson is a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, where he leads the book project Media and Mass Atrocity: The Rwanda Genocide and Beyond. Allan joined the faculty of Carleton University’s School of Journalism and Communication in 2003, after 17 years as a reporter with The Toronto Star.

But I have a question, during some of the debate about parties a member said something along the lines of “that other useless party none of the above” I’m curious to know why they think that?

In September, the 10K crew went on location to the 2017 Ontario Universities’ Fair, to interview a dozen higher ed leaders about trends in innovation. Leo Groarke holds a PhD in Philosophy from Western, and has experience as Provost at the University of Windsor, and founding Principal of the Wilfrid Laurier campus in Brantford. Since 2014, he has served as President & Vice-Chancellor of Trent University. In this special bonus episode, Ken asks Leo to answer 3 key questions about higher ed innovation.   Innovations at Trent? Leo observes that Trent is proudly focused on the undergraduate experience, and is starting to return to its roots of federated colleges, modelled after Oxford and Cambridge. Trent is revitalizing humanities programs by offering a wide range of double degrees, and has partnered with Swansea University in Wales to offer an international Law and Arts dual degree. The renowned Bata Library is currently undergoing a $20-million renovation, and will remove half of its print collection to make room for an entrepreneurship centre, research and active learning classrooms. And finally, Trent is developing an 85-acre research park focused on environmental science and green industry. The park will generate revenue, advance research, and offer students experiential learning opportunities.   The Decade Ahead? Leo predicts Internationalization will be very significant for Canadian universities over the next 5-10 years, and not just for revenue but to build global understanding. Likewise Indigenization will be a big priority, although Trent has been working at this since the 1970s when it launched Canada’s first Indigenous Studies programs.  Trent’s Indigenous Environmental Science program, in particular, tries to marry the Eurocentric, scientific perspective with Indigenous ways of knowing. Leo dismisses MOOCs as overhyped, having had marginal effect on most university programs, but he notes the growing emphasis on applied learning and work experience: the Ontario government wants 100% of undergraduates to get experiential learning opportunities. But Leo cautions that universities also play an important role as places for reflection. The decade ahead will be “tough times for universities,” thanks to pressure on demographics and government funding, but “necessity is the mother of invention” and universities are good at recreating themselves in useful ways.   Culture of Innovation? Ken suggests that academic culture tends to reinforce “zero fault tolerance,” which can make it difficult to encourage innovation or entrepreneurial approaches. Leo agrees that universities don’t tolerate mistakes well, and that in itself is a mistake: even failed experiments can lead to crucial insights that move knowledge forward. Universities put too much emphasis on grades for admission, attracting students who have never experienced failure, and are unwilling to take risks. Even researchers tend to be cautious in order to attract funding and pass peer review: the system is stacked against radical disruptive ideas. Higher ed leaders need to support innovators on campus, provide them with budget and moral support. When you have creative people, there is a great deal of opportunity for universities launching innovative new programs.    Watch for more interviews soon, or to be sure you don’t miss them, join more than 15,000 Ten with Ken subscribers and followers on any of a dozen platforms.

In a remarkable new book, Daniel Heath Justice, an author and professor of First Nations and Indigenous Studies and English at the University of British Columbia, makes an argument for the vitality of Indigenous literatures and their ability to help make sense of our world. Why Indigenous Literatures Matter (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2018) is one-part literary exegesis, one-part memoir, and many parts radical text which calls for, among other things, broader human and non-human kinship, and the use of indigenous literatures to push back against settler colonial forms of erasure and oppression. Justice explores the vibrant universe of over two hundred years of literatures (written and non-written alike), from autobiography to spoken word poetry, to fantasy and wonderworks, in order to make the case that yes, of course indigenous literatures matter; they do so because indigenous people matter. Why Indigenous Literatures Matter thus acts as both indigenous literary bibliography and call to action to people of indigenous and non-indigenous backgrounds to read up and take notice of indigenous people speaking back to colonial power structures. Stephen Hausmann is a doctoral candidate at Temple University and Visiting Instructor of history at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently writing his dissertation, a history of race and the environment in the Black Hills and surrounding northern plains region of South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.

A two-part series: What are the cultural and social factors that influence our narrative about Muslims? Jasmin Zine, professor of sociology and Muslim studies at Wilfrid Laurier, and contributor Sakeena Mihar, co-chair of the Ryerson Muslim Employee Community Network, join host Melissa Yu Vanti

A continuation of the discussion with Jasmin Zine, professor of sociology and Muslim studies at Wilfrid Laurier, and contributor Sakeena Mihar, co-chair of the Ryerson Muslim Employee Community Network

Lindsay Shepherd talks to Alex Pierson about her ordeal, and says that she hopes more like her stand up for themselves.

On today’s episode we cover: The details of the Wilfrid Laurier University controversy. (1:00) Should people be allowed to discuss topics that may offend or should those with whom we disagree be silenced? (16:00) What’s more important: feeling or knowing? Should we protect people’s feelings at the cost of obscuring reality? (28:00) Is it possible for society as we know it to exist free from difficult conversations and thereby emotional strain? (33:00) What were Jordan Peterson’s offensive remarks at the heart of the Wilfrid Laurier controversy? (42:00) What role do other people have in reinforcing one’s identity? What are the limits of freedom of expression? (46:00) What is language and how does it change? What is the purpose of pronouns? How are language and pronouns viewed differently in French? (1:00:00)

This week we're joined by Aisha Brown (JFL. Kevin Hart LOL) we talk about her life as stand up, Jordan Peterson and the idea of Free speech and problematic white feminism. ----more----  Here are some of the articles and links we used in this episodeThe National Post - Here’s the full recording of Wilfrid Laurier reprimanding Lindsay Shepherd for showing a Jordan Peterson videoVice - No, the Trans Rights Bill Doesn’t Criminalize Free SpeechThe Bustle - This Difference Between Charlottesville & Ferguson Could Be Part Of A Sickening Double StandardThe Guardian - Yes, there is a free speech crisis.

The social justice movement is known for routinely staging demonstrations, shouting down (and shutting down) speakers, and issuing demands. More significantly, however, its ideas and terminology have become part of the fabric of university culture. As psychologist Jonathan Haidt said in an interview earlier this year: This is all so new. There’s been, I believe, a kind of a moral revolution, a new moral culture emerging on campus but it really is only in the last two years. If any of your viewers graduated from college in 2013, they probably haven’t seen it. … [I]t’s organized around victims of oppression, it’s a vertical metaphor of privileged and oppressor people, and victims. This idea that everything is power. To make way for this moral revolution, values that historically have defined secular universities are increasingly being swept aside. The most recent example is perhaps the most chilling. Lindsay Shepherd, a young teaching assistant at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, Canada, was reprimanded for screening a five-minute clip from a televised debate on public education channel TVOntario between … The post Wilfrid Laurier and the Creep of Critical Theory appeared first on Quillette.

This podcast series is devoted to sharing good teaching practice at Gardens Elementary School which is located on the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology campus in Saudi Arabia. At GES, our student population is multi-cultural, diverse, enthusiastic, engaging and confident. They are also fun loving and happy. Through the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) we provide opportunities for students to develop an understanding of essential concepts, skills, knowledge and attitudes that will enable them to be lifelong learners. Our students are actively involved in authentic inquiry-based learning across all the curriculum areas. They develop confidence in their abilities, think for themselves, question, express their opinions and respect the opinions of others. As students learn to reflect on their learning, they become critical thinkers. We encourage students to voice their ideas and to take action to improve the school and the community. Student achievement and progress is shared through regular assemblies, parent conferences, open houses and activities aimed at making the school a stimulating center for the community. Bill’s Bio I am from Kars Ontario, a small town of less than a thousand people, located 25 minutes south of Ottawa. I have a Kinesiology degree from the University of Wilfrid Laurier, A Baccalaureate of Education from the University of Ottawa and Masters of International Education Administration from Endicott College. In 2005, straight out of university I moved overseas to teach in the small Island Kingdom of Bahrain. This two-year adventure turned out to be eight years of learning and growing as an educator.  Professionally, I am qualified and have taught grades one through twelve in Physical Education, History and Special Education. Most of my years of teaching have been in Health and Physical Education, however, I have also spent time in grade three and grade five classrooms. I currently teach elementary Health and Physical Education at The KAUST School just north of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.  I have a young family with a son who is four and a daughter who is six, which helps keep me quite busy when I’m not teaching or coaching. We are an active family who enjoy outdoor activities such as biking and swimming. I enjoy playing hockey and writing in my free time. If you are an educator and thinking of making the leap to move overseas, check out the book “Become an International Teacher A Step-by-Step Guide to Landing Your First Job”, available on amazon. You can find me on twitter @pypmovementman, I am looking forward to connecting with educators from around the world. For the Love of Movement In this episode, Bill unpacks how he and his colleagues in the PE department at Gardens Elementary School create specific conditions for student voice and choice to shine. There are a number of critical elements that go into structuring a quality physical education program to ensure that there are plenty of opportunities for students to take action on their learning outside of their normally scheduled PE time at our school. Despite this episode being more PE focused, there is plenty of takeaway for classroom teachers as many of the strategies and approaches that Bill and his team ultilize are non-subject specific and connect with great teacher practice in general. Hope you enjoy this episode with Bill Kelly.

William Howard Taft and Wilfrid Laurier negotiate a US-Canada free trade agreement, but it blows up when the Canadians get the idea that it is a step toward US annexation. The Standard Oil Company is broken up, US Senator "Fighting Bob" La Follette moves to challenge Taft for the 1912 Republican nomination, and "Alexander's Ragtime Band" takes the US and Europe by storm.

In the second episode from the 2016 Ontario Universities' Fair, Ken Steele surveys the exhibit floor and interviews university representatives to summarize what's new in student recruitment marketing this fall. (See the first, "Why Go to the OUF?" at https://youtu.be/CyXKcQ7fsac ). This podcast includes some flashback photos, video and even some unused interviews from previous years' OUFs, from 2006 to the present. Data Collection: The underlying goal for student recruitment offices at the Fair is to collect contact information for as many prospective students as possible. As Deanna Underwood of OUAC explains, in previous years that meant that prospective students had to enter their contact information in 21 different ways, on paper, iPad, laptop or computer, at all the various booths. That also tended to mean that many universities offered prize incentives to collect data. Last year we interviewed Craig Chipps of Wilfrid Laurier about the branded hoodies they were giving away; Deanna MacQuarrie of uGuelph about their prizes ranging up to an iPhone 6; and both York's Jock Phippen and Carleton's Jean Mullan about their draws for free tuition. All this repetitive data entry seemed pointless for students, and after years of discussion, this year finally introduced centralized data collection: the OUF Passport. Prospective students were encouraged to register online in advance, and thousands did so. Many more registered at the computer terminals in the OUF lobby, or on their smartphones with the assistance of staff at the university booths. By day two, universities were collecting more contacts than in previous years. In place of all the various contests of previous years, this year COU had a "money booth" for students. Exhibit Booths: Ontario universities are investing six figures in spacious, professional booths, so they use them for years, with minor updates. (This year, Laurentian added more bilingual signage, Laurier added a new photo collage, and Windsor added its new tagline, "Promise.") This year, considerable floorspace in the exhibits was freed up from the various desks and kiosks that were so critical for data collection. Many universities rearranged their booths to allow much more space for conversation. New booth layouts for Nipissing, Carleton and Brock focused on kiosks for each major faculty or program, where prospective students could speak with recruiters, faculty or current student ambassadors. Brock wanted to emphasize the transdisciplinary opportunities for students. Carleton wanted to leverage more technology, like video screens and an interactive robot, to engage students and tell its story. McMaster’s new booth adds many backlit images of campus and animated video screens, but unlike the open-concept designs, Mac’s booth seems to create corners and cubbies for small conversations to occur. Western's Lori Gribbon took time to describe their brand-new exhibit, which utilizes the maximum 12-foot height, plenty of backlit graphics and video screens to convey a sense of the beautiful campus. They analyzed the previous booth, and modified the layout to optimize traffic flow. A new “student experience” corner focuses students on co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, from athletics to residence. Virtual Reality: Last year, we reported that UOIT was pioneering the use of 3D (VR) campus tours using beta versions of Oculus Rift headsets. https://youtu.be/7YVIz2RMXCg Now that 3D video is supported on YouTube and Facebook, and easily available on most smartphones, the cost has come down and more universities are creating VR tours. Western shot dozens of 360° videos of campus, from residence rooms, classrooms and labs to outdoor orientation events. The videos are available on the Western welcome page, on Facebook and Twitter, and Western ambassadors had branded iCardboard viewers for prospective students and parents to take a look. uWindsor likewise had branded cardboard viewers for students. Lakehead was using plastic HooDoo viewers, which fasten to your head with velcro. Laurentian's Jean-Paul Rains showed us their ViewMaster brand viewers, using an app designed by Laurentian CompSci students. He explained that the initiative was very cost effective, using a tiny $500 Ricoh Theta S camera, $30 headsets, and $500 smartphones. Travel Incentives: Algoma U has started offering all-expense-paid visits to its campus in Sault Ste Marie, for interested prospective students. President Craig Chamberlin says they provide transportation, housing and meals, and tour potential students around campus to meet their future faculty members and attend classes. In the next episode, we’ll ask people at the OUF for their advice for high school students contemplating their post-secondary futures.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, septième premier ministre du Canada, a eu le plus long mandat ininterrompu. Il est considéré comme l’un des plus grands hommes politiques du Canada. Il avait énormément de charisme et il était charmant et passionné, qualités qui l’ont bien servi dans ses fonctions et dans sa vie personnelle. Cette passion se perçoit dans de nombreuses lettres qu’il a écrites à son épouse, Zoé. Mais peut-être pouvons-nous avoir une meilleure idée de son caractère grâce aux lettres qu’il a envoyées à Émilie Lavergne. Dans cet épisode, nous nous rendons à la Perth and District Union Library, à Perth, en Ontario. Nous y rencontrons M. Roy MacSkimming, auteur du roman historique Laurier in Love, pour avoir des éclaircissements sur ces lettres.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier had the largest unbroken term of office as Canada’s seventh prime minister. He was considered one of Canada’s greatest politicians, full of charisma, charm and passion, qualities that served him well in office, and also in his personal life. This passion is seen in many of the letters he wrote to his wife Zoé. But perhaps we gain a deeper insight into his character through his letters to Émilie Lavergne. In this episode, we traveled to the Perth and District Union Library, in Perth, Ontario. We sat down with Mr. Roy MacSkimming, author of the historical novel, Laurier in Love, to gain some insight into these letters.
