Participants were 53…

Crum, Kathleen I.; Waschbusch, Daniel A.; Willoughby, Michael T. – Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2016

The Nunavut education system is seen by many as failing to provide Inuit with the promise of supporting Inuit economic and social well-being. Today in Nunavut, there is a growing awareness of the effects of past colonialist polices…

Therefore, this study's first objective is to investigate opinions toward Section 43 and spanking more…

Joyce, Katherine – Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, 2011
In a country as diverse as Canada, spread over an incomprehensibly large land mass, the connections between citizens may require more imagination.
