above the entrance to the finnish labour temple, in whatwas once port arthur in northern ontario, is the motto labor omnia vincit ? ?hard work conquers all.? since 1910, these words have reflected the dedication of the finnish community in canada. hard work conquers all isa social history of finnish immigration and community building in canada during the twentieth century. the first finns to arrive ranged from conservative churchgoers to radical socialists, reflecting the ideologies that divided their homeland. after the first world war, left-wing finns fled persecution; following the second world war, finns sought the economic security that canada offered. each new wave of immigration imbued the relationship between people, homeland, and host country with the politics, ideologies, and cultural expressions of its time.
the story of finns in canada dovetails with the larger literature on immigration and enriches the history of socialism and ethnic repression in this country. the insightful essays in hard work conquers all explore the nuanced cultural identities of finnish canadians, their continued ties to finland, intergenerational cultural transfer, and the community?s connections with socialism and labour movements. this is a fresh interpretation of the successive waves of finnish immigration and their influence on canadian politics and society.hard work conquers all will appeal to scholars and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 of the historyof immigration to canada and of finnish history, and, within that context, particularly to those interested in the history of workers, youth, and women, military history, and sport history. anyone wanting to understand the finnish experience in canada will find this study illuminating.

times of prolonged conflict spur great minds to seek a lasting peace. thus was the case of warring states china, which saw the rise of the hundred schools of thought, includingthe doadejing and the han feizi, and renaissance italy, which produced niccol machiavelli. witnessing their respectivesocieties fall prey to internal corruption and external aggression, all three thinkers sought ways to produce a strong,stable state that would allow both the leader and the populace to endure. fortune and the dao: a comparative study of machiavelli, the daodejing, and the han feizi demonstrates where the shortcomings of each theory lie, with emphasis on the similarities among machiavelli, laozi, and han feizi.
阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 professor, jason p. blahuta ultimately argues that if machiavelli?s philosophy, the most comprehensive of the three theories, were supplemented by aspects of the daodejing, the revision would potentially overcome the deficiencies of the original.

whether it was organizing canada's first g-7 summit or concluding the free trade agreement, derek burney fused politics, public policy, and diplomacy into a fine art. his tenure as chief of staff to brian mulroney is often cited as a model of how the prime minister's office should work. as canada's ambassador to the united states from 1989-1993 he had aninsider's perspective of ways in which canada manages, and sometimes mismanages, its relationship with the world's superpower. his career in canada's foreign service spanned threedecades, with assignments in japan and korea, and he servedin ottawa as deputy minister..
in a candid memoir, burney paints a vivid picture of leading politicians, including pierre trudeau using an off-colour joke to break the ice with ronald reagan, colin powell becoming upset over canadian concerns about collateral damage in the first gulf war, and george bush sr chafing at the excessive european flavour of g-7 summits.
lori chambers is a professor in the department of women?s studies at lakeheaduniversity.
lori chambers? fascinating study explores the legal history of adoption in ontario since the passage of the first statute in 1921. this volume explores a wide range of themes and issues in the history of adoption including: the reasons for the creation of statutory adoption, the increasing voice of unmarriedfathers in newborn adoption, the reasons for movement away from secrecy in adoption, the evolution of step-parent adoption, the adoption of indigenous children, and the growth of international adoption.
unlike other works on adoption, chambers focuses explicitly on statutes, statutory debates and the interpretation of statues in court. in doing so, she concludes that adoption is an inadequate response to child welfare and on its own cannot solve problems regarding child neglect and abuse. rather, chambers argues that in order to reform the area of adoption we must first acknowledge that it is built upon social inequalities within and between nations.
globalization and the shifting tectonic plates of the international system have led to an increasingly competitive world. if canada hopes to gain advantage from the dramatic developments underway it will have to aggressively adapt its foreign and domestic policies and priorities under the clear direction of the federal government or accept being left behind. in brave new canada, derek burney and fen hampson identify the key trends that are reshaping the world's geopolitics and economics and discuss the challenges canada confronts with the rise of china and other global centres of power. their examination of a wide range of themes - including the place of pluralistic democratic values in diplomacy, economics, and trade, the ways that canada should reset relations with its neighbour to the south, as well as how to manage new global security threats - paints a picture of how canada can become bold, assertive, and confident and easily adjust to anew global landscape. arguing that a successful foreign policy cannot be crafted by looking at the world in thederek burney, an officer of the order of canada, is a senior strategic advisor to norton rose fulbright.

this volume visits death in children?s literature from around the world, making a substantial contribution to the dialogue between the expanding fields of childhood studies, children?s literature, and death studies. considering both textual and pictorial representations of death, contributors focus on the topic of death in children?s literature as a physical reality, a philosophical concept, a psychologically challenging adjustment, and/or a social construct. essays covering literature from the us, mexico, el salvador, guatemala, canada, the uk, sweden, germany, poland, bulgaria, brazil, czechoslovakia, the soviet union, india, and iran display a diverse range of theoretical and cultural perspectives. carefully organized sections interrogate how classic texts have been adapted for the twenty-first century, how death has beenpoliticized, ritualized, or metaphorized, and visual strategies for representing death, and how death has been represented within the context of play. asking how different cultures present the concept of death to children, this volume is the first to bring together a global range of perspective on death in children?s literature and will be a valuable contribution to an array of disciplines.

frederick rennie emerson (1895-1972) was a dynamic presence in the cultural and intellectual life of newfoundland and labrador for much of the twentieth century. a musician, lawyer, educator, and folklore enthusiast, emerson was a central figure in the preservation and mediation of newfoundland culture in the tumultuous decades prior to and following confederation with canada in 1949.
glenn colton shows how emerson fostered greater awareness and understanding of newfoundland's cultural heritage in local, national, and international contexts. his collaboration with song collector maud karpeles in the late 1920s preserved some of the mostcherished folk songs in the english language, and a decade later, his lectures at memorial university college emphasized folk traditions and classical repertoire to inspire cultural discovery for an entire generation. as newfoundland's representative on the first canada council and vice-president of the canadian folk music society, he played a crucial role in shaping canadian cultural policy during the transformative years of the mid-twentieth century. colton also reveals the meaningful creative works emerson composed in response to the same cultural heritage he documented and preserved: his one-act drama proud kate sullivan (1940) is a pioneering depiction of newfoundland life, and the folk-inspired newfoundland rhapsody (1964) is one of few examples of symphonic music composed by a newfoundlander of his generation.
newfoundland rhapsody explores newfoundland society, canada's emerging arts scene, and the international folk music community to offer a new lens through which to view the cultural history of twentieth-century newfoundland and canada.

freud is best remembered for two applied works on society, the future of an illusion and civilization and its discontents. yet the works of the final period are routinely denigrated as merely supplemental to the earlier, more fundamental 'discoveries' of the unconscious and dream interpretation.in fact, the 'cultural freud' is sometimes considered an embarrassment to psychoanalysis. dufresne argues that the latefreud, as brilliant as ever, was actually revealing the true meaning of his life's work. and so while the future of an illusion, civilization and its discontents, and his final work moses and monotheism may be embarrassing to some, they validate beliefs that freud always held - including the psychobiology that provides the missing link between the individual psychology of the early period and the psychoanalysis of culture of the final period. the result is a lively, balanced, and scholarly defense of the late freud that doubles as a major reassessment of psychoanalysis of interest to all readers of freud.
- this is dufresne's final work on freud and an unmissable addition to his previously acclaimed scholarship

globalization is often hailed as a phenomenon that is making the world smaller, drawing regionsand people closer together as technology and trade enhance interaction and break down barriers. less appreciated is thetendency towards geographic concentration and the concomitant undermining of the social, cultural, and economic viability of peripheral areas in both the developed and developing worlds that is also part of the reality of the new global economy. the chapters in this volume examine these processes in marginal zones in both the global north and south. theoretical models of development, the political and economic context of policy decisions, empirical indicators of transformations, local acts of resistance, reaction, and adaptation, changing ideas about and interactions with nature, and possiblefutures for these regions are described and analyzed in this collection of papers by scholars from canada, the united states, europe, and africa.

addressing the significance of the pet in the victorian period, this book examines the role played by the domestic pet in delineating relations for each member of the "natural" family home. flegel explores the pet in relation to the couple at the head of the house, to the children who make up the family's dependents, and to the common familial "outcasts" who populate victorian literature and culture: the orphan, the spinster, the bachelor, and the same-sex couple. drawing upon both animal studies and queer theory, this study stresses the importance of the domestic pet in elucidating normative sexuality and (re)productivity within the familial home, and reveals how the family pet operatesas a means of identifying aberrant, failed, or perverse familial and gender performances. addressing the significance of the pet in the victorian period, this book examines the role played by the domestic pet in delineating relations for each member of the "natural" family home. flegel explores the pet in relation to the couple at the head of the house, to the children who make up the family's dependents, and to the common familial "outcasts" who populatevictorian literature and culture: the orphan, the spinster,the bachelor, and the same-sex couple. drawing upon both animal studies and queer theory, this study stresses the importance of the domestic pet in elucidating normative sexualityand (re)productivity within the familial home, and reveals how the family pet operates as a means of identifying aberrant, failed, or perverse familial and gender performances. the family pet, that is, was an important signifier in victorian familial ideology of the individual family unit's abilityto support or threaten the health and morality of the nation in the victorian period.

introductory remarks on the perspective and intent of the author in writing this monograph the european court of human rights comments in the judgment korbely v. hungary that: however, clearly drafted a legal provision may be, in any system oflaw, including criminal law, there is an inevitable elementof judicial interpretation. there will always be a need forelucidation of doubtful points and for adaptation to changing circumstances. indeed, in the convention states, the progressive development of the criminal law through judicial lawmaking is a well-entrenched and necessary part of legal tradition...the court's role is con?ned to ascertaining whetherthe effects of such an interpretation [interpretation by the national courts and authorities of domestic law which sometimes may refer to or incor- rate international law principles or agreements] are compatible with the convention 1 [european convention on human rights and fundamental freedoms] (emphasis added). this book then examines to what degree this "inevitable element of judicial interpretation" has been applied by the european court of human rights in a manner consistent with the guarantees of the most fundamental human rights under international criminal, human rights and humanitarian law.
young people?s human rights and the politics of voting age is the first book to address in-depth the topic of voting age eligibility asa universal fundamental human rights issue rather than an internal, discretionary state policy matter. international perspectives on the issue of voting age eligibility are examined as are the legal, historical, philosophical and sociological dimensions of the legislated age-based bar to the vote. the book examines examples of movements for the youth vote at 16. also addressed is the failure of high profile human rights organizations and institutions to endorse the vote at age 16 and the implications for democratic values of the denial of the youth vote in most western and non-western states.the book would be extremely valuable for instructional purposes as one of the primary texts in undergraduate or graduate courses on children?s human rights, political psychology, sociology, political science, sociology of law and as a supplementary text for courses on human rights or constitutionallaw. it would be of great interest also to members of the general public concerned with children and youth human rightsissues.

this book presents the views of various international law and human rights experts on the contested meaning, scope of application, value and viability of r2p; the principle of the responsibility to protect . r2p refers to the notion that the international community has a legal responsibility to protect civilians against the potential or ongoing occurrence of the mass atrocity crimes of genocide, large scale war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. r2p allows for intervention where the individual state is unable orunwilling to so protect its people or is in fact a perpetrator. the book addresses also the controversial issue of whether intervention by states implementing r2p with or without the endorsement of the united nations security council constitutes a state act of aggression or instead is legally justified and not an infringement on the offending states sovereign jurisdiction. the adverse impact on global peace and security of the failure to protect civilians from mass atrocitycrimes has put in stark relief the need to address anew theprinciple of responsibility to protect and the feasibility and wisdom of its application and this book is a significant contribution to that effort. this book was originally published as a special issue of the international journal of human rights.

this book discusses selected works by six contemporary indian novelists writing in english ? vikram seth, salman rushdie, nayantara sahgal, arundhatiroy, ruchir joshi and rupa bajwa ? all of whom have made the indian nation a central theme in their fiction. all thesewriters respond, in varying ways, to the idea of india as united in diversity, a construct most readily associated withthe nationalist vision of jawaharlal nehru, india?s first prime minister. in considering india?s past and looking towards the future, they struggle with and attempt to extend theavailable language of cultural diversity.
writing indians and jews examines discursive practices surrounding the representation of jews and jewishness in indian literature in english. these investigations make an important contribution to the study of contemporary south asian and diasporic literature, and understandings of anti-semitism, religious fundamentalism, and globalization.

dorothea mitchell was a canadian pioneer ofthe first order. she did things that pioneering women have always done, but her pioneer experience was made more difficult by the fact that she was a single woman. unlike other unsung heroines of the early twentieth century, we know of dorothea's accomplishments because she wrote about them. this collection serves to introduce dorothea mitchell as a a latter day susanna moodie or catherine parr traill. the contents of this volume are comparable to parr traill's
the backwoods of canada and moodie's roughing it in the bush not only because dorotheamitchell is able to describe life as a british immigrant woman on the canadian frontier, but because she provides a refreshing glimpse at the place of women in canadian society during the first decades of the twentieth century. dorothea mitchell, the "lady lumberjack", was a remarkable individual whose accomplishments as a writer and pioneer of women's rights have been largely overlooked.

the amount of material published on environmental issues continues to grow, comprised of broad generalizationsaimed at non-specialists in the field. this edition of global environmental issues fills the gap between technical literature and general articles for popular reading.
the book takes an interdisciplinary approach to issues such as global warming, ozone depletion, drought and acid rain--those which raise the greatest concern, and emphasizes both their societal and environmental components. while the book is grounded in a sound scientific base, it presents the work in as non-technical manner as possible. the unifying theme is the climatological aspect, and this unique approach is continued in this revisededition.
while the main theme is climatological, the contributions of socio-economic, political and cultural elements to these issues are also examined and held in account. global environmental issues is a valuable edition of a unique and accessible work on a topic of worldwide concern.
this practical handbook will equip readers with the tools to have meaningful conversations about death and dying
death is apart of life. we used to understand this, and in the past, loved ones generally died at home with family around them. but in just a few generations, death has become a medical event, and we have lost the ability to make this last part of life more personal and meaningful. today people want to regain control over health-care decisions for themselves and their loved ones.
talking about death won?t kill you is the essential handbook to help canadians navigate personal and medical decisionsfor the best quality of life for the end of our lives. noted palliative-care educator and researcher kathy kortes-miller shows readers how to identify and reframe limiting beliefsabout dying with humor and compassion. with robust resourcelists, kortes-miller addresses
- advance care plans for ourselves and our loved ones
- how to have conversations about end-of-life wishes with loved ones
- how to talk to children about death
- how to build a compassionate workplace
- practical strategies to support our colleagues
- how to talk to health-care practitioners
- how to manage challenging family dynamics as someone is dying
- what is involved in medical assistance in dying (maid)
far from morbid, these conversations are full of meaning and life ? and the relief that comes from knowing what your loved ones want, and what you want for yourself.

"we wrote this book in response to teachers? requests. teachers wanted better insight into children?s mathematical development. they wanted to know: ?what does this child?s thinking tell me about what he or she understands?? ?where does this child?s mathematical thinking lie on a framework of primary numeracy development?? ?what questions can i ask, or what activities can i do, to help this child move to the next phase??
this resource is a sample video record of the mathematical development of 60 children over the course of two years. the teachers in the videos began with the children?s initial understandings and worked with their ideas to help the children develop increasingly sophisticated strategies and deepen their mathematical understanding. the development you see in these children is a result of this instruction."

people living in northern ontario have long known thattheir communities are different from those of other regionsof ontario. in addition to their unique geographic and social conditions, a belief exists in the communities of the region that they have not shared equally in the wealth that their region has produced. until the 1980s, the region saw itself as part of the economic engine of the province. this perception started to change in the late 1980s. the region slowly began to realize that the industrial era that had given birth to their communities, and that had valued the pulp, wood, and minerals produced by these communities, was changing. increasingly, people worried about the long term future of the region. northern ontario was experiencing change. how would this change affect their communities?
this book is an attempt to answer some of these questions. it is written for the people of northern ontario to help them understand how economic change is affecting their communities. it traces the general trends in population and socio-economic conditions in northern ontario as the country shifts from an industrial economy to a post-industrial one. it seeks to allow people living in northern ontario to better understand what is happening in their communities so that they are better equipped to respond to these challenges.

the papers in this volume were selected from those presented at the 27th annual meeting of the western association of sociology and anthropology which was held in thunder bay, ontario in february 1986. the theme of the meeting, "social relations in resource hinterlands," was appropriate to the fact that the association was based in the west and that the meeting was held in thunder bay, the largest city in a provincial resource hinterland dependent upon forestry, mining, and the transportation of western grain and coal.
