Russel Ogden’s topic in the early 1990s for his MA thesis at Simon Fraser University (SFU) helped to start up his long involvement with controversy. By deciding to conduct research on assisted suicide among people living with HIV/AIDS), Ogden became involved in a contentious moral and political debate. As he continued his research, he soon encountered a second controversial issue – academic freedom. Later, in early 2015, a third area of controversy happened, this one about his status with his employer

Directed by Rob Reiner, When Harry Met Sally (1989), begins as Harry Burns and Sally Albright, two University of Chicago graduates, leave for their post-graduate lives in NYC. During the trip they both discuss various things, relating to themselves, and men and women in general. As they drive they conclude that “men and women can’t just be friends” (Scheinman & Reiner, 1989) and they soon part ways.

Though there might be the need to catch up to a more universal curriculum, of sorts, quite a few universities are coming up with MS or Professional Certificates in Data Science/Analytics. Canada, being one of the top countries for higher education, has now begun their bid to get into the data race. In this article, we will list some of the known universities, across all the Canadian provinces, that offer a formal training in handling big data. The list is in no particular ranking
Since the University of Northern British Columbia has been opened there have been many efforts to create a sustainable facility. There are many aspects of the university that contribute to its sustainability, which include the buildings, as well as on-going projects. The students and faculty, however, do not necessarily take part in maintaining the university’s title as Canada’s Green University. UNBC’s title as Canada’s Green University may also be put into question when compared to other Canadian

very important aspect to an individual’s life. Pursuing post-secondary education and obtaining a university degree opens up a wide range of high-paying career opportunities. However, there has recently been an increase in the number of students who do not finish their program and graduate.

The constructivist-interpretative paradigm states that reality is constructed through interactions between a researcher and the research subject. According to Smith (2008), “[s]cientific knowledge can be created by virtual experience and conversations” (p. 102).

A College in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region, undertook a pilot project
