How likely is a war with Canada? Seeing as we're currently in a trade war with them, and President Trump and his press secretary have claimed they will be our "51st state", I find it likely that the US and Canada will have some sort of conflict.

How will President Trump's proposed tariffs against Mexico, Canada, and China affect the U.S. economy?

What is the purpose of these tariffs?

Do agree or disagree with this policy? Why?

Dear Researchers,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am interested in applying for a PhD in Clinical Psychology at universities in the United States, Canada, or Europe. I am currently working on several papers and learning R. Could you please provide information on the requirements for a PhD in Clinical Psychology? Additionally, what optional experiences or qualifications could enhance my chances of being accepted?

Thank you for your assistance.

Certainly not; even if he fights on peaceful Canadian soil!

Provide journals or articles in relation to the question. What social responsibility has the organization contributed to its community?

Will Trump’s 25% Tariffs on Canada Exclude Crude Oil? What Are the Betting Odds?

Speculation is mounting that if Donald Trump returns to the White House, he will impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. The big question, though, is: Will crude oil be exempt?

A blanket tariff on Canadian goods would shake up industries like automobiles, steel, aluminum, and agriculture, making everything from cars to lumber more expensive for American consumers. But crude oil? That’s where things get tricky.

Why Would Trump Exempt Canadian Crude?

Canada is the largest supplier of crude oil to the U.S., providing millions of barrels per day, particularly from Alberta’s oil sands. Many U.S. refiners, especially in the Midwest and Gulf Coast, rely on this supply. Slapping a 25% tariff on crude would likely send U.S. gas prices soaring—something no president wants.

From an economic standpoint, exempting crude oil makes sense. Trump has often talked about energy dominance and lowering fuel prices. Taxing Canadian crude could contradict that message and hurt American consumers at the pump.

The Betting Odds: Will Crude Oil Be Spared?

If you were placing a bet, odds favor an exemption for crude oil. Trump’s trade policies are aggressive, but they are also politically calculated. Given the impact on gas prices, it’s unlikely he would risk the backlash of expensive fuel—especially heading into an election.

However, nothing is guaranteed. If Trump sees an opportunity to push for more U.S. drilling by taxing foreign oil, he could take a gamble. And if relations with Canada sour over other tariffs, retaliation could further complicate energy trade between the two countries.

What’s Next?

If these tariffs become reality, expect a mix of economic consequences, political pushback, and potential Canadian retaliation. The oil exemption—if it happens—will likely be framed as a necessary exception to protect American consumers, while tariffs on other industries could be used as leverage in future trade negotiations.

So, will Trump exclude Canadian crude? If Vegas were taking bets, the safe money says yes—but with Trump, surprises are always possible. What odds do you place on the question?

As we enter 2025 – the second quarter of the 21st century – the 45th/47th President of the United States of America is asking this important question:

"Should Canada officially become the 51st state of the United States?"

Let's reflect with the help of political science – and all the science that citizens are able to mobilize – to answer this important question raised by President Trump.

Im working as a lab technician at an educational facility in Montréal, QC. Canada. We're already cloning plasmid and DNA using bacteria but to be honest restriction enzyme are kind of expensive !! Since students tend to make mistakes using expensive enzyme, I'm really looking forward to have the expertise to synthesize our own. I need guidance please.

Hello Everyone,

The purpose of this research is to find out how effective artificial intelligence (AI) tools are in enhancing the emotional intelligence (EI) of leaders of higher education institutions. The study aims to find out how AI can help leaders understand and manage emotions within organizations.

This study aims to establish whether EI for academic leaders can be developed by AI software, thus improving leadership outcomes within higher education.

Identify and Evaluate AI Tools:

Review existing AI tools that are designed to analyze emotions to help communication and support leadership.

Check if these tools are applicable in higher education settings with a focus on EI aspects such as sentiment analysis, emotion recognition, and optimizing communication through various features.

Do a Primary Research Study:

Design and carry out a study where education administrators will employ a chosen AI tool within simulated conditions as well as real-world circumstances.

These changes will then be measured against their EI levels as well as effectiveness in leadership using survey approaches, behavioural observations, and feedback analysis techniques involving both qualitative and quantitative elements.

Analyze the role of AI In leadership scenarios:

Explain how AI tools offer actionable insights to support decision-making among leaders under different emotional circumstances focusing on EI aspects like empathy, conflict resolution, and effective communication.

What does the identified AI tool justify regarding sentiment or emotion analysis about managing higher education?

How does the AI-assisted tool change EI as well as the leadership effectiveness of educational leaders across real-life situations?

What are the benefits of having AI software in providing direction and recommendations for improving important aspects such as empathy, conflict resolution and effective communication in leadership scenarios?

What do educational leaders think are the advantages and disadvantages when it comes to using AI for leadership purposes in higher education?

Emotional Intelligence in Leadership:

A leader should have high emotional intelligence, especially when it comes to higher education. Daniel Goleman divided EI into five areas: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. EI models like Salovey and Mayer’s among others provide a comprehensive view of its components and how it relates to leadership (Goleman, 2020; Brackett et al., 2011).

AI in Emotional Analysis and Sentiment Analysis:

AI tools for emotion and sentiment analysis employ natural language processing along with deep learning to interpret human emotions. IBM Watson, Google Cloud Natural Language API, and Affectiva are some examples of such tools. The use of these tools presents great potential in several domains e.g. in the educational sector where they reveal the emotions behind data and assist in decision-making (Ferrucci et al., 2010; Picard, 2010; Liu, 2010).

Integration of AI and EI:

Combining AI with EI can improve management practices. Through continuous unbiased emotional analysis, AI tools may be used to assist leaders in managing their emotions better. However, there are issues such as data privacy concerns regarding ethical considerations or possible biases within AI algorithms (McDuff et al., 2014; Grefenstette et al., 2015; Turkle, 2011).

Methodology:

Mixed-Methods Design:

The research employs a mixed-methods design that combines qualitative and quantitative methods to give a holistic understanding of the effects of AI on EI among educational leaders.

Participants:

Participants in this study are faculty members, Program Heads, Academic Chairs, Associate Deans, and Deans at higher education institutions. This choice will be guided by their leadership positions as well as their willingness to participate in the research process.

Data Collection Methods:

Scenario-Based Analyses:

Participants will go through various leadership scenarios where they consider what it would have been like with AI tools and what it is like without them which will enable a comparison of results about AI’s impact on decision-making, emotional control, and effective leadership.

Follow-Up Questionnaires:

Detailed feedback on the experiences of participants during the scenarios and how they perceived the effectiveness of AI tools will be gathered through questionnaires.

Surveys:

Surveying quantifies EI parameters before using AI tools and after using them. Significant differences and correlations between AI tool use and improvements in EI can be revealed by statistical analyses.

Data Analysis Techniques:

Thematic Analysis:

Thematic analysis will be used to analyze qualitative data from scenario-based analyses as well as follow-up questionnaires to find patterns or themes.

Statistical Analysis:

Quantitative data from surveys are analyzed statistically using techniques such as paired t-tests, regression analysis and ANOVA to determine the impact made by AI tools on EI levels.

Ethical Considerations:

Confidentiality:

All participant data will be coded under unidentified names and stored securely away from unauthorized persons and only accessed by authorized personnel. Informed consent will be sought ensuring voluntary participation with confidentiality guaranteed.

Ethical Research Practices:

Ethical approval shall be requested from the relevant Institutional Review Board, full disclosure of the study purpose, procedures and potential benefits will be made available to participants and a debriefing document explaining the findings of the study will be issued.

Limitations:

Sample Size and Generalizability:

The sample size may affect the generalization of the findings, so efforts aimed at ensuring that a wide range of samples are included in this study.

Response Bias:

To reduce bias during participant response, anonymity and privacy of participants will be observed.

Technological Limitations:

Clear instructions together with technical support shall cover technology-related issues.

Subjectivity in Qualitative Analysis:

To enhance reliability, multiple coders will independently analyze qualitative data.

Limited Longitudinal Data:

Short-term impacts are examined in this research with recommendations for future research focusing on long-term consequences.

This is limited to educators within Canada. Should anyone be interested, please reach out.

I am doing a dissertation for my master's and am researching if AI can affect emotional intelligence in educational leaders, and was wondering about looking for people in leadership positions within Canada at higher education institutions to participate.

It is seen that supply of qualified candidates for teaching is far more than demand since population growth is low . It is also seen that there is visible discriminations for immigrant teachers even if they are citizens and educated locally. Why is it so ? A large number of young teachers are reduced to substitute teaching almost for life.

This cant be called a developed society and what education standard can be expected with such faculty status.

Which countries do you think offer better teaching careers and relative salary package ?

Ideal status quo's are blatantly more harmful to the majority of individuals in today's societies.

Dissemination of Canada's sovereignty is only way truth and reconciliation can occur. This will leave the shared land of the "self determined sovereign allies in the government of the indigenous.

This is possible if we open our minds and shut our egotistical, privileged, systemically biased discrimination impulses aside.

Hi!

This might be a bit of a stupid question, but I am currently writing my master thesis. One of the things I am doing is a factor analysis on a scale developed in Canada. This scale has only been validated on the Canadian workforce (the developers have one time done a exploratory factor analysis and two times done a confirmatory factor analysis). I am doing an exploratory and a confirmatory factor analysis in the Norwegian workforce to see what factor structure I would find here, and if it is the same as in Canada. As this this only one of three things I am doing in my masters I have hypothesis for all the other findings, so my supervisor would like me to have hypothesis for the factor structure as well. Whenever I try to come up with some arguments, I always feel like I am just arguing for the same attitudes in both countries, rather than the factor structure.

My question is: How do you make a hypothesis for this where you argue for the same/a different factor structure without arguing for the same/different attitudes?

Thank you in advance! :)

For years we have been unsatisfied with the quality of boundary files for Canada publicly available including from government sources. Many products have trouble in coastal areas and miss many coastal islands, peninsulas etc. Many global boundary files are too coarse and miss borders etc. I have been considering using the land cover classification of Canada (2015) raster to try to create one but aggregation of coastal waters and lakes in its formation process makes that challenging.

Any advice/are there any really high quality datasets out there that accurately represent boundaries?

The criteria below are intended to provide a framework for analyzing scholarly open-access publishers and journals. The criteria recognize two documents published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE):

Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers

Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing

Evaluating scholarly open-access publishers is a process that includes closely, cautiously, thoroughly, and at times skeptically examining the publisher's content, practices, and websites: contacting the publisher if necessary, reading statements from the publisher's authors about their experiences with the publisher, and determining whether the publisher commits any of the following practices (below) that are known to be committed by predatory publishers, examining any additional credible evidence about the publisher, compiling very important "back-channel" feedback from scholarly authors, and taking into account counter-feedback from the publishers themselves.

Some journals of course are "single titles." They publish independently of any multi-title publisher. In most cases, however, we evaluate journals that are part of a publisher's multi-title platform. This is very often described as a "fleet," a term meant to clarify that even a new publisher suddenly launches a large number of new journals, ranging from several dozen to hundreds of titles all at once.

The practices described below are meant to apply both to single-title independent journals and to publishers with or multiple or "fleet" journals in their portfolios.

·The publisher's owner is identified as the editor of each and every journal published by the organization. ·No single individual is identified as any specific journal's editor.

·The journal does not identify a formal editorial / review board.

·No academic information is provided regarding the editor, editorial staff, and/or review board members (e.g., institutional affiliation).

·Evidence exists showing that the editor and/or review board members do not possess academic expertise to reasonably qualify them to be publication gatekeepers in the journal's field.

·Two or more journals have duplicate editorial boards (i.e., same editorial board for more than one journal). ·The journals have an insufficient number of board members , (e.g., 2 or 3 members), have concocted editorial boards (made up names), name scholars on their editorial board without their knowledge or permission or have board members who are prominent researchers but exempt them from any contributions to the journal except the use of their names and/or photographs.

·There is little or no geographical diversity among the editorial board members, especially for journals that claim to be international in scope or coverage.

·The editorial board engages in gender bias (i.e., exclusion of any female members).

·Demonstrates a lack of transparency in publishing operations.

·Has no policies or practices for digital preservation, meaning that if the journal ceases operations, all of the content disappears from the internet.

·Begins operations with a large fleet of journals, often using a common template to quickly create each journal's home page. 3

·Provides insufficient information or hides information about author fees, offering to publish an author's paper and later sending an unanticipated "surprise" invoice.

·Does not allow search engines to crawl the published content, preventing the content from being indexed in academic indexes.

·Copy-proofs (locks) their PDFs, thus making it harder to check for plagiarism

· The name of a journal is incongruent with the journal's mission.

·The name of a journal does not adequately reflect its origin (e.g., a journal with the word "Canadian" or "Swiss" in its name when neither the publisher, editor, nor any purported institutional affiliate relates whatsoever to Canada or Switzerland).

·In its spam email or on its website, the publisher falsely claims one or more of its journals have actual (Thomson-Reuters) impact factors, or advertises impact factors assigned by fake "impact factor" services, or it uses some made up measure (e.g. view factor), feigning/claiming an exaggerated international standing.

·The publisher sends spam requests for peer reviews to scholars unqualified to review submitted manuscripts, in the sense that the specialties of the invited reviewers do not match the papers sent to them. · The publisher falsely claims to have its content indexed in legitimate abstracting and indexing services or claims that its content is indexed in resources that are not abstracting and indexing services.

·The publisher dedicates insufficient resources to preventing and eliminating author misconduct, to the extent that the journal or journals suffer from repeated cases of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, image manipulation, and the like.

·The publisher asks the corresponding author for suggested reviewers and the publisher subsequently uses the suggested reviewers without sufficiently vetting their qualifications or authenticity. (This protocol also may allow authors to create faux online identities in order to review their own papers).

A predatory publisher may...

·Re-publish papers already published in other venues/outlets without providing appropriate credits.

·Use boastful language claiming to be a "leading publisher" even though the publisher may only be a startup or a novice organization.

·Operate in a Western country chiefly for the purpose of functioning as a vanity press for scholars in a developing country (e.g., utilizing a maildrop address or PO box address in the United States, while actually operating from a developing country).

·Provide minimal or no copyediting or proofreading of submissions.

·Publish papers that are not academic at all, e.g. essays by laypeople, polemical editorials, or obvious pseudo-science.

·Have a "contact us" page that only includes a web form or an email address, and the publisher hides or does not reveal its location.

The following practices are considered to be reflective of poor journal standards and, while they do not equal predatory criteria, potential authors should give due consideration to these items prior to manuscript submissions:

·The publisher copies "authors guidelines" verbatim (or with minor editing) from other publishers.

·The publisher lists insufficient contact information, including contact information that does not clearly state the headquarters location or misrepresents the headquarters location (e.g., through the use of addresses that are actually mail drops).

·The publisher publishes journals that are excessively broad (e.g., Journal of Education) in order to attract more articles and gain more revenue from author fees.

·The publisher publishes journals that combine two or more fields not normally treated together (e.g., International Journal of Business, Humanities and Technology).

·The publisher charges authors for publishing but requires transfer of copyright and retains copyright on journal content. Or the publisher requires the copyright transfer upon submission of manuscript.

·The publisher has poorly maintained websites, including dead links, prominent misspellings and grammatical errors on the website.

·The publisher makes unauthorized use of licensed images on their website, taken from the open web, without permission or licensing from the copyright owners.

·The publisher engages in excessive use of spam email to solicit manuscripts or editorial board memberships. ·The publishers' officers use email addresses that end in .gmail.com, yahoo.com, or some other free email supplier.

·The publisher fails to state licensing policy information on articles or shows lack of understanding of well-known OA journal article licensing standards, or provides contradictory licensing information.

·The publisher lacks a published article retraction policy or retracts articles without a formal statement (stealth retractions); also the publisher does not publish corrections or clarifications and does not have a policy for these issues.

·The publisher does not use standard identifiers such as ISSNs or DOIs or uses them improperly.

·For the name of the publisher, the publisher uses names such as "Network," "Center," "Association," "Institute," and the like when it is only a solitary, proprietary operation and does not meet the definition of the term used or implied non-profit mission.

·The publisher has excessive, cluttered advertising on its site to the extent that it interferes with site navigation and content access.

·The publisher has no membership in industry associations and/or intentionally fails to follow industry standards.

·The publisher includes links to legitimate conferences and associations on its main website, as if to borrow from other organizations’ legitimacy, and emblazon the new publisher with the others' legacy value.

·The publisher displays prominent statements that promise rapid publication and/or unusually quick peer review.

·Evidence exists showing that the publisher does not really conduct a bona fide peer review.

·The publisher appears to focus exclusively on article processing fee procurement, while not providing services for readers, or on billing for fees, while abdicating any effort at vetting submissions.

·The publisher creates a publishing operation that demonstrates rapacious entrepreneurial behavior that rises to level of sheer greed. The individual might have business administration experience, and the site may even have business journals, but the owner seems oblivious to business ethics.

·The publisher or its journals are not listed in standard periodical directories or are not widely cataloged in library databases.

·The publisher copies or egregiously mimics journal titles from other publishers.

·The publisher includes text on its website that describes the open access movement and then foists the publisher as if the publisher is active in fulfilling the movement’s values and goals.

·None of the members of a particular journal's editorial board have ever published an article in the journal. · There is little or no geographic diversity among the authors of articles in one or more of the publisher's journals, an indication the journal has become an easy outlet for authors from one country or region to get scholarly publications.

·The publisher has an optional "fast-track" fee-based service for expedited peer review which appears to provide assured publication with little or no vetting.

Dear all,

I am working on preparing the baseline of actors involved in green economy in Canada. For this research, I am planning to use systematic review process, however findings articles using systematic review process is easier. But, I am struggling to find the appropriate source/methods to find all the organizations (network, non-profit, community organizations etc) involved in green economy (with sectoral focus on transportation, agriculture, labour and finance). It would be great if you suggest any article/readings/website related on how to conduct systematic review to find the organization.

Thank you so much

Long Term Care Homes across Canada ( and probably USA) remain places with major outbreaks of COVID-19. Should this facilities closed and seniors and patients moved in to hospitals, and special field hospitals which adapted only for seniors? Probably Public Health need elaborate new technologies for medical care for infected seniors?

I'm looking for information on how chemicals and mixtures are regulated in Canada. I have found that the hazardous products regulations (HPR) specify the criteria for hazard classification and that the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) gives a definition of "toxic substances" according to the risk posed by the substance or group of substances. As far as I understood, toxic substances are added to a list and risk management measures can be considered. Does it mean that the classification, for instance as carcinogen, does not imply directly a regulation? What about mixtures and alloys?

Thanks for any information and examples you may provide!

There is a backlog for deionized formamide from all the suppliers in Canada. Do you know what I can use instead of deionized formamide for conducting the whole-mount in situ hybridization in zebrafish embryos? It will be great to get some help. Thanks

I am looking for a Canadian distributor of Fluoro-Jade C (cell death stain), as it seems that Fisher and Sigma have both discontinued carrying it. Does anyone know of an alternate distributor in Canada, or an American distributor that would ship to Canada? Many carriers seem to have discontinued it and I am not sure why.

Methods for assessing group work in mathematics and the case for individualized student's contributions were discussed. Countries considered were US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

I am in search of studies with a small n to support recent work completed in-depth with two participants regarding international students in Canada. I am not sure if framing things as two case studies would be better. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am a beginner user on SPSS. I have per country data to analyse. The data consists of a % score for several questions:

Question 1: USA 76%, Canada 88%, China 82%....

Question 2: USA 90%, Canada 65%, China 74%...

Question 3...

The scores are a mean taken from a Likert scale for each country and each question (many respondent per country). I would like to assess if countries scored different for the whole survey (not per question). While looking at tutorials for Friedman test, I arrived to the conclusion that each country should be a different variable instead of having one ''country'' variable and then choosing country in the data view sheet. I find it odd, and I am not sure if this is the right way to go when looking at different examples with single respondant online. Should I use another test? Should I enter my data in another way?

Thank you for your help!

Climate change disaster is a great amplifier of health inequities. It is already affecting and will continue to affect vulnerable populations’ health and well-being like migrants, both in Canada and internationally. We are conducting a critical scoping review to explore work that has been done to examine and address the needs, challenges, experiences, and health outcomes of immigrant populations. Your critical reflections and suggestion will be helpful.

Greetings from Vancouver, Canada!

My doctoral research is going to begin soon. Because the instance of higher education students in Canada, and elsewhere, has been on the rise for more than a decade, I am interested in exploring at the intersection of instructional design and supporting student mental health. Specifically, I want to determine whether there may be adaptations that can be made to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to mitigate stressors students may experience in the future at the time of pedagogical development and instructional design. To get a sense of how my work is beginning to materialize, please see:

Does anyone know of work being done in this area? Please point me in interesting directions that might be worth some exploration.

Thank you very much!

Most (especially European and Asiatic) Cucujus species (Coleoptera: Cucujidae) are known as rare or threatened or even endangered. Is the same situation in case of the American Cucujus clavipes (which is actually didived into two subspecies)? Is this species legaly protected or included in the Red Data List/Book in any state of the USA or Canada?

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Hi,

I am planning to do in- vitro assays for production of triterpenoids in yeast.

Looking for the proper strain, I found the strain GIL77 suited for the purpose. However, It's difficult to find a company/ etc providing it; the strain been created in Tokyo and I am looking for a suggestion on how to get that to Canada?

Appreciate your help.

Best,

Information on distribution of recovery time or recovery data in US and Canada...

Thanks a lot!

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Nursing Science degree major in Geriatrics and would really like to experience a research fellowship to apply what I have learned. Would like to ask if there are any tips on applying for a research fellowship in Canada? How can I make my application stand out? What do I need to do to get a fellowship? Are fellowships only given to those who have had experience? It's just very difficult to have experience if there are no opportunities to get experience.

I chose Canada because me and my wife are currently applying for permanent residency in Canada.

I am searching for information on global M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) figure for the dairy industry on an annual basis. It would also be helpful to know what are the FDI inflows and outflows for the Canadian dairy industry on an annual basis (2000 - 2016).

This is Gagandeep Singh pursuing Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering with the research focus on the design of the PV solar system. 

Currently, I am carrying out the pre-feasibility, feasibility study and engineering design of a PV system for one of our University's building. Project work also investigates the technical issues involved, and whether such a system would be considered financially feasible by businesses in today’s market. To carry out the project I need of the real-time electrical consumption data of the building. Since the building is a part of the university, so I was supposed to go through many stages or levels to reach the administration for getting the access of required data. However, all my efforts went in vain, because the administration refused to provide the data by saying it's not actual or formal project work. 

Based on this, my professor has asked me to shift the project's objective from Canada to some other part, and later if possible we can scale up the data as per Canada's requirements. After doing a lot of research, I've decided that India is the most suitable country for my project work. 

Therefore, I would like to know what is the possibility if I request you to help me for providing the real-time electrical consumption data of the project.  The data can be from your ongoing project or the project that has been done in the past by you.

To date, there is no quick screening test that could be used during routine office visits to accurately assess language disorders in neurodegenerative diseases. To fill this important gap, we developed the Detection Test for Language impairments in Adults and the Aged (DTLA), a quick, sensitive, standardized screening test designed to assess language disorders in adults and the elderly individuals. In Study 1, we describe the development of the DTLA. In Study 2, we report data on the DTLA's validity and reliability. Finally, in Study 3, we establish normative data for the test. The DTLA has good convergent and discriminant validity as well as good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Norms for the DTLA obtained from a sample of 545 healthy, community-dwelling, French-speaking adults from 4 French-speaking countries (Belgium, Canada (Quebec), France, and Switzerland) are provided. The development, validation, and standardization of the DTLA constitute a significant effort to meet the need for a language screening test adapted to neurodegenerative diseases.

This seems like a great program. Can it be accessed by students outside of Europe? I'd love to add it as a component of a course that I teach at Trent University in Ontario, Canada.

Part time system of working helpful to every one. If in India it is applicable to research then it will be more helpful to improve the system as well as help to the part time employee. For example it is seen in western countries.

Snow fences are using in cold regions of different countries (US, Canada etc.) to prevent the road casualties along the roads. I would like to study for the feasibility of using snow fence in Nepal. Can you please let me know if you have any idea about it or if you have done any research about it in the context of Nepal?
