The Best Subjects At Canadian Universities
By Rebecca Zamon. When it comes to Canadian universities, three names tend to be bandied about pretty regularly — that's the University of Toronto, McGill University and the University of British Columbia.

Will Canada be the country that dumbed itself to death?
By Daryl Copeland. Foreign policy issues rarely figure centrally in Canadian politics — and in the public and media mainstream, science is an even more distant outlier.

Don't ban laptops in university classrooms
By Tai Notar. Take the movement to ban laptops from university lectures — it’s just ridiculous. Professors who oppose laptops in lectures are out of touch. The issue isn’t us — it’s the way they teach. Some professors simply do not understand the way we learn.
