False security ::the radicalization of Canadian anti-terrorism /
No full textOn 20 October 2014, a terrorist drove his car into two members of the Canadian Armed Forces, killing Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. Two days later, another terrorist murdered Corporal Nathan Cirillo before storming Parliament. In the aftermath of these attacks, Parliament enacted Bill C-51 ? the most radical national security law in generations. This new law ignored hard lessons on how Canada both over- and underreacted to terrorism in the past. It also ignored evidence and urgent recommendations about how to avoid these dangers in the future. For much of 2015, Craig Forcese and Kent Roach have provided, as Maclean?s put it, the ?intellectual core of what?s emerged as surprisingly vigorous push-back? to Bill C-51. In this book, they show that our terror laws now make a false promise of security even as they present a radical challenge to rights and liberties. They trace how our laws repeat past mistakes of institutionalized illegality while failing to address problems that weaken the accountability of security agencies and impair Canada?s ability to defend against terrorism

The cultivation of (difficult) surfaces or “I know that’s a tree”
No full textTo coincide with the exhibition Real Painting at the Castlefield Gallery in Manchester Craig Staff, author of After Modernist Painting: The History of a Contemporary Practice (2013), offered his response to the exhibition, considering it in relation to painting’s histories, theories and philosophies. From connections with the Renaissance and modernism, he will venture towards the means by which we might begin to think about, if not understand the works that make up Real Painting
Bringing Hidden Organizations Out of the Shadows: Introduction to the Special Issue
No full textThis introduction to the special issue describes hidden organizations, offers several reasons for the lack of research on these collectives, and explains how this collection of articles helps move us forward in efforts to empirically study hidden organizations. After providing background information on the history of this special issue, the five articles published here are described in terms of the type of collective examined, the theories and methods used, and the key research questions addressed. Three observations about the published pieces are made: being hidden requires communicative effort; hiddenness is usefully understood in terms of identity management; and any discussion of hidden organizations raises ethical considerations. The piece closes with acknowledgements and a call for continued conceptual/theoretical and empirical research into hidden organizations.This is an introduction to a special issue on Hidden Organizations edited by the author.

Touching Torture with a Ten-Foot Pole: The Legality of Canada’s Approach to National Security Information Sharing with Human Rights-Abusing States
No full textIn 2011, then-Public Safety Minister Vic Toews issued “ministerial directions” to Canada’s key security and intelligence agencies on “Information Sharing with Foreign Entities.” These directions permit information sharing in exigent circumstances, even where there is substantial risk of mistreatment of an individual. After a brief chorus of condemnation, the directions sank into relative obscurity while remaining part of Canada’s national security policy framework. This article aims to reignite discussion of these policies and their controversial content, relying in large measure on documents obtained by the author directly or through journalistic researchers under access to information law. First, I examine dilemmas raised when information is shared between human rights-observing and -abusing states and then focus on the legal parameters and policy context in which both “in-bound” and “out-bound” information sharing takes place. Next, I analyze the 2011 instruments and consider their legality under both international and domestic law. I conclude that the legality of these measures is doubtful in international law—at least in so far as out-bound information sharing is concerned—and that domestic criminal culpability and constitutional validity are very close questions
First person - Craig Keenan
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Craig Keenan is first author on ‘Post-traumatic osteoarthritis development is not modified by postnatal chondrocyte deletion of Ccn2’, published in DMM. Craig conducted the research described in this article while a postdoctoral research associate in Dr Blandine Poulet's lab at the University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK. He is now a lecturer in vertebrate physiology in the lab of Dr Jason Kirby at Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK, investigating the roles of cartilage and bone in the pathogenesis of degenerative joint disease.</jats:p
