Canada and Cuba have a long historical relationship, in governmental and non-governmental realms alike. While hundreds of Canadian students take part in educational exchanges from a variety of Canadian universities, Canadian/Cuban scholarly ties are not as strong as they are in the US or even the UK. There are a handful of internationally recognized Cuba scholars who have been working in Canada for some decades, among them John M. Kirk, Hal Klepak and Keith Ellis. Cuban scholarship in Canada is still notably scant and it cannot really be classified in generational terms. However it is clear that the work of these senior scholars is bearing fruit, as other scholars located in Canada are increasingly working in Cuban Studies, in both teaching and research. A few of these scholars came together recently to discuss their experiences. This isn't an exhaustive or representative group. The participants in this roundtable conversation include those trained as Cubanists, trained in other fields but with more recent research and/or teaching ties to Cuba, and a Cuban educated in Canada. We came together to discuss what we see as the state of the field in Cuban/Canadian studies today and in the future.

Public access to government information forms the foundation of a healthy liberal democracy, but because this information can be precarious, it needs stewardship. Government Information in Canada provides analysis about the state of Canadian government information publishing. Practitioners from across the country draw on decades of experience and hands-on practice to offer a broad, well-founded survey of history, procedures, and emerging issues—particularly the challenges posed by the transition of government information from print to digital access. This is an indispensable book for librarians, archivists, researchers, journalists, and everyone who uses government information and wants to know more about its publication, circulation, and retention.

Jan Roseneder's piece, War Casualties, the Media, and the Internet, discusses how the immediacy of casualty reports and the graphic details conveyed has alternatively engaged and distanced the Canadian people, while at the same time providing distinct platforms for political parties.The importance of Afghanistan to NATO's credibility and its very existence is examined by Joshua Walker in NATO"s Litmus Test: Prioritizing Afghanistan. Walker argues that events in the mountains and villages of Afghanistan are ultimately where NATO's future will be affirmed.Lara Olson discusses how NGOs are Fighting for Humanitarian Space, looking at problems related to their security in Afghanistan, the militarization of aid, and how NGOs have been made public scapegoats for the failures of the overall aid effort. She explores their efforts to preserve humanitarian space through advocacy and dialogue with the military and with donors.
Turbulence will mark the world economy in the coming decade as Canada's traditional trading partners in North America and Europe struggle with slow growth and rising structural unemployment and move, as they must, to restore the health of their public finances. Settling for the status quo is not a compelling option as the US border thickens and Canada stays on the sidelines in two areas vital to its long-term interest: climate change policy and trade liberalization. In this context, the Policy Brief evaluates the strategic options for Canada's long-standing economic relationship with the United States. The authors propose a two-part proactive strategy. The first part is for Canada to differentiate its economy by building on its macroeconomic, financial and energy strengths relative to the United States and by shaping a best-practice North American climate change policy. The second part of the strategy is to deepen NAFTA by participating in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a comprehensive, highquality FTA that has strategic attention of the US administration. Any country can join by accepting the agreement's provisions. The TPP offers at least two strategic opportunities: a comprehensive negotiation in which Canada, the United States and Mexico could upgrade NAFTA and a way to diversify and deepen trade and investment liberalization with major economies in the Asia-Pacific region.
Canada has been a long-time key producer and global supplier of uranium. It has produced more uranium than any other country, close to 500,000 tU since 1942. It also hosts the world´s largest operating mine (in terms of annual production), mill and refinery and is home to the world´s largest high-grade uranium deposits. Given its high concentrations, Canada is the only producer that has to "water down" its rock. Over seven decades, Canada´s production of uranium has evolved from being dedicated to fulfilling military contracts in the 1940s and 1950s to being focused on the environment, non-proliferation and safety. Initially a state secret, uranium mining and trade have become transparent with a public hearing-based licensing process, regulatory oversight and annual reporting of operational safety and environmental performance. This level of transparency and regulation is unparalled by any other industry in Canada, forming the basis of Canada´s reputation as a solid and steady supplier. This study analyses the Canadian uranium supply industry, the evolution of its development, and the legal framework that regulates uranium production and trade in Canada. It is part of the larger Governing Uranium project led by the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS), which explores the dimensions of security of natural uranium in a changing global market.
The paper considers a variety of sources of potential climate liability in Canada. Sources considered include the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, jurisdictional issues, aboriginal rights, the public trust, judicial review of regulatory decisions, tort principles of such as nuisance, negligence, and strict liability, securities litigation, legislative issues under federal and provincial legislation, such as species at risk Acts, environmental assessment processes, and the role of public international law in climate litigation in Canada. Various opportunities to petition national and international institutions on climate issues are also identified.co-authors: Dennis Mahony and Alex Smith

Until recently, the meaning and origin of the Canadian university degree was well understood by Canadians and around the world. Degrees were only offered by universities and the use of the label university was controlled by legislation in each of the ten provinces and three territories. Institutional membership in the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada signified that an institution was a university-level institution. However, the increased demand in the last two decades of the 20th century for access to university-level degrees has resulted in the provincial-level approval of degrees that are offered in non-university settings. As a result of the increased proliferation of these non-university delivered degrees, the provincial-level degree accreditation processes and the university-level degree granting standards, as represented in the membership criteria for AUCC, are no longer aligned. In this paper, the author traces the changes in degree granting in Canada over the past 15 years or so. Current provincial policies and recent decisions regarding degree granting are outlined. The author suggests a number of implications of the current degree accreditation process in Canada, including the emergence of a new kind of tiering of Canadian undergraduate degrees where different degree accreditation processes have led to different degrees with different meaning and value to the student. In order to protect both the student consumer and the currency of the Canadian undergraduate degree, the author recommends the development of national standards to define both a university-level institution and the quality of the degree it delivers. ; Dans un passé récent, tout le monde connaissait la provenance et la valeur des diplômes universitaires canadiens: les universités délivraient ces diplômes, l'utilisation du terme «université» était régie par la législation de chacune des dix provinces et des trois territoires, et c'est en attribuant à un établissement le statut de «Membre institutionnel» que l'Association des universités et collèges du Canada le reconnaissait officiellement en tant qu'institution universitaire. Or, depuis la fin des années 1970 environ, on a assisté à une demande croissante de diplômes universitaires, demande qui a eu pour conséquence la création de diplômes provinciaux à l'extérieur du système traditionnel des universités. La prolifération de ces nouveaux diplômes a progressivement creusé le fossé entre, d'un côté, les processus d'accréditation provinciale et, de l'autre, les exigences universitaires, telles que définies parles critères d'admission à l'AUCC. Cet article passe en revue les changements auxquels le Canada a dû faire face, dans les 15 dernières années environ, dans les domaines de création et d'accréditation de diplômes. Il examine les politiques provinciales actuelles sur l'instauration de nouveaux diplômes, ainsi que les décisions récemment prises à ce sujet. L'auteur traite ensuite des diverses implications des processus actuels d'accréditation de diplômes au Canada et entre autres de l'émergence d'une nouvelle série de diplômes de premier cycle - ayant chacun leur propre méthode d'accréditation-, dans laquelle les étudiants ont grand mal à se retrouver car ces diplômes n'ont ni la même signification ni la même valeur. Afin de poursuivre la mise en place de nouveaux diplômes canadiens de premier cycle et de clarifier la situation pour la clientèle étudiante, l'auteur recommande l'élaboration d'exigences nationales définissant, à la fois, ce qu'est une institution universitaire et la qualité des diplômes qu'elle pourra délivrer.
