Multiculturalism in Canada is the sense of an equal celebration of racial, religious and cultural backgrounds. Multiculturalism policy was officially adopted by the Canadian government during the 1970s and 1980s.[1] The Canadian federal government has been described as the instigator of multiculturalism as an ideology because of its public emphasis on the social importance of immigration.[2] The Canadian Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism is often referred to as the origin of modern political awareness of multiculturalism.[3]
Canadians have used the term "multiculturalism" both descriptively (as a sociological fact) and prescriptively (as a political ideology).[4] In the first sense "multiculturalism" is a description of the many different religious traditions and cultural influences that in their unity and coexistence in Canada make up Canadian culture.[4] The nation consists of people from a multitude of racial, religious and cultural backgrounds and is open to cultural pluralism.[5] Canada has experienced different waves of immigration since the nineteenth century, and by the 1980s almost 40 percent of the population were of neither British nor French origins (the two largest groups, and among the oldest).[6] In the past, the relationship between the British and the French has been given a lot of importance in Canada's history. By the early twenty-first century, people from outside British and French heritage composed the majority of the population, with an increasing percentage of individuals who self identify as "visible minorities".
Multiculturalism is reflected in the law through the Canadian Multiculturalism Act and section 27 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and is administered by the Department of Canadian Heritage. The Broadcasting Act of 1991 asserts the Canadian broadcasting system should reflect the diversity of cultures in the country. Despite the official policies, segments of the Canadian population are critical of the concept(s) of a cultural mosaic and implementation(s) of multiculturalism legislation.[7] Quebec's ideology differs from that of the other provinces in that its official policies focus on interculturalism.[8]
In the 21st century Canada is often characterised as being "very progressive, diverse, and multicultural".[9] However, Canada until the 1940s saw itself in terms of English and French cultural, linguistic and political identities, and to some extent Aboriginal.[10] European immigrants speaking other languages, such as Canadians of German ethnicity and Ukrainian Canadians, were suspect, especially during the First World War when thousands were put in camps because they were citizens of enemy nations.[11] Jewish Canadians were also suspect, especially in Quebec where antisemitism was a factor and the Catholic Church of Quebec associated Jews with modernism, liberalism, and other unacceptable values.[12]
Asians encountered legal obstacles limiting immigration during the 1800s and early 1900s.[13][14] Additional, specific ethnic groups that did immigrate during this time faced barriers within Canada preventing full participation in political and social matters, including equal pay and the right to vote.[15] While black ex-slave refugees from the United States had been tolerated, racial minorities of African or Asian origin were generally believed "beyond the pale" (not acceptable to most people).[16] Although this mood started to shift dramatically during the Second World War,[17][18] Japanese Canadians were interned during the overseas conflict and their property confiscated.[19] Prior to the advent of the Canadian Bill of Rights in 1960 and its successor the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, the laws of Canada did not provide much in the way of civil rights and it was typically of limited concern to the courts.[20] Since the 1960s Canada has placed emphasis on equality and inclusiveness for all people.[21][22]
Immigration has played an integral part in the development of multiculturalism within Canada during the last half of the 20th century.[23] Legislative restrictions on immigration (such as the Continuous journey regulation and Chinese Immigration Act) that had favoured British, American and European immigrants were amended during the 1960s, resulting in an influx of diverse people from Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.[24] The number of people who are becoming immigrants is steadily increasing as seen between 2001 and 2006, the number of foreign-born people increased by 13.6%.[25] By 2006 Canada had grown to have thirty four ethnic groups with at least one hundred thousand members each, of which eleven have over 1,000,000 people and numerous others are represented in smaller amounts.[26] 16.2% of the population self identify as a visible minority.[26]
Canada currently has one of the highest per capita immigration rate in the world, driven by economic policy and family reunification.[27] Canada also resettles over one in ten of the world's refugees.[28] In 2008, there were 65,567 immigrants in the family class, 21,860 refugees, and 149,072 economic immigrants amongst the 247,243 total immigrants to the country.[29] Approximately 41% of Canadians are of either the first or second-generation,[29] meaning one out of every five Canadians currently living in Canada was not born in the country.[30] Political parties are cautious about criticizing the high level of immigration, because, as noted by the Globe and Mail, "in the early 1990s, the Reform Party was branded 'racist' for suggesting that immigration levels be lowered from 250,000 to 150,000."[31][32]
Canada receives its immigrant population from over 200 countries of origin. As indicated below, over 50 percent of new immigrants admitted in 2012 came from 10 source countries.

Culturally diverse areas or "ethnic enclaves" are another way in which multiculturalism has manifested. Newcomers have tended to settle in the major urban areas.[34] These urban enclaves have served as a home away from home for immigrants to Canada, while providing a unique experience of different cultures for those of long Canadian descent. In Canada, there are several ethnocentric communities with many diverse backgrounds, including Chinese, Italian and Greek.[35] Canadian Chinatowns are one of the most prolific type of ethnic enclave found in major cities.[35] These areas seemingly recreate an authentic Chinese experience within an urban community. During the first half of the 20th century, Chinatowns were associated with filth, seediness, and the derelict.[35] By the late 20th century, Chinatown(s) had become areas worth preserving, a tourist attraction.[35] They are now generally valued for their cultural significance and have become a feature of most large Canadian cities.[35] Professor John Zucchi of McGill University states:[35]
Unlike earlier periods when significant ethnic segregation might imply a lack of integration and therefore be viewed as a social problem, nowadays ethnic concentration in residential areas is a sign of vitality and indicates that multiculturalism as a social policy has been successful, that ethnic groups are retaining their identities if they so wish, and old-world cultures are being preserved at the same time that ethnic groups are being integrated. In addition these neighbourhoods, like their cultures, add to the definition of a city and point to the fact that integration is a two-way street."
The Quebec Act, implemented after the British conquest of New France in the mid-1700s brought a large Francophone population under British Imperial rule, creating a need for accommodation.[36] A century later the compromises made between the English and French speaking Fathers of Confederation set Canada on a path to bilingualism, and this in turn contributed to biculturalism and the acceptance of diversity.[37]
Lord Tweedsmuir the 15th Governor General of Canada was an early champion of multiculturalism;[38] from his installation speech in 1935 onwards, he maintained in speeches and over the radio recited his ideas that ethnic groups "should retain their individuality and each make its contribution to the national character," and "the strongest nations are those that are made up of different racial elements."[39]
The beginnings of the development of Canada's contemporary policy of multiculturalism can be traced to the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, which was established on July 19, 1963 by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson in response to the grievances of Canada's French-speaking minority.[9] The report of the Commission advocated that the Canadian government should recognize Canada as a bilingual and bicultural society and adopt policies to preserve this character.[9]
The recommendations of this report elicited a variety of responses. Former Progressive Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, (who was now Leader of the Official Opposition after his government was succeeded by that of Pearson on April 22, 1963), viewed them as an attack on his "One Canada Policy" that was opposed to extending accommodation to minority groups.[40] The proposals also failed to satisfy those Francophones in the Province of Quebec who gravitated toward Québécois nationalism.[41] Additionally, Canadians of neither English nor French descent (so-called "Third Force" Canadians) advocated that a policy of "multiculturalism" would better reflect the diverse heritage of Canada's peoples.[42][43]
Paul Yuzyk, a Progressive Conservative Senator of Ukrainian descent, referred to Canada as "a multicultural nation" in his influential maiden speech in 1964, creating much national debate, and is remembered for his strong advocacy of the implementation of a multiculturalism policy.[44]
On October 8, 1971, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau announced in the House of Commons that, after much deliberation, the policies of bilingualism and multiculturalism would be implemented in Canada.[45] As Prime Minister, Trudeau espoused participatory democracy as a means of making Canada a "Just Society".[46] When the Canadian constitution was patriated by Prime Minister Trudeau in 1982, one of its constituent documents was the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and section 27 of the Charter stipulates that the rights laid out in the document are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the spirit of multiculturalism.[47]
The Canadian Multiculturalism Act was introduced during the Progressive Conservative government of Brian Mulroney, and received Royal Assent on July 21, 1988.[48] On a practical level, a result of the multiculturalism Act was federal funds began to be distributed to ethnic groups to help them preserve their cultures, leading to such projects as the construction of community centres.[49]
In June 2000 Prime Minister Jean Chrétien stated:[50]
Canada has become a post-national, multicultural society. It contains the globe within its borders, and Canadians have learned that their two international languages and their diversity are a comparative advantage and a source of continuing creativity and innovation. Canadians are, by virtue of history and necessity, open to the world.
With this in mind on November 13, 2002, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien designated, by Royal Proclamation, June 27 of each year Canadian Multiculturalism Day.[51]
Section Twenty-seven of the Charter states that:[47]
This Charter shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the preservation and enhancement of the multicultural heritage of Canadians.
The 1988 Canadian Multiculturalism Act affirms the policy of the government to ensure that every Canadian receives equal treatment by the government which respects and celebrates diversity.[47] The "Act" in-general recognizes:[52]
Section 3 (1) of the act states:[47]
It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Government of Canada to
(a) recognize and promote the understanding that multiculturalism reflects the cultural and racial diversity of Canadian society and acknowledges the freedom of all members of Canadian society to preserve, enhance and share their cultural heritage
(b) to recognize and promote the understanding that multiculturalism is a fundamental characteristic of the Canadian heritage and identity and that it provides an invaluable resource in the shaping of Canada's future
In the Multiculturalism Act, the federal government proclaimed the recognition of the diversity of Canadian culture.[53] Similarly the Broadcasting Act of 1991 asserts the Canadian broadcasting system should reflect the diversity of cultures in the country.[54] The CRTC is the governmental body which enforces the Broadcasting Act.[54] The CRTC revised their Ethnic Broadcasting Policy in 1999 to go into the details on the conditions of the distribution of ethnic and multilingual programming.[53] One of the conditions that this revision specified was the amount of ethnic programming needed in order to be awarded the ethnic broadcasting license. According to the act, 60% of programming on a channel, whether on the radio or television, has to be considered ethnic in order to be approved for the license under this policy.[53]
All ten of Canada's provinces have some form of multiculturalism policy.[55] A total of six provinces – British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Nova Scotia have authorized multiculturalism legislation,[55] while eight of the provinces – British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia – have an advisory council that reports to the minister responsible for multiculturalism within the province.[55]
British Columbia legislated the Multiculturalism Act in 1993.[55] The purposes of this act (s. 2) are:[56]
- to recognize that the diversity of British Columbians as regards race, cultural heritage, religion, ethnicity, ancestry and place of origin is a fundamental characteristic of the society of British Columbia that enriches the lives of all British Columbians;
- to encourage respect for the multicultural heritage of British Columbia;
- to promote racial harmony, cross cultural understanding and respect and the development of a community that is united and at peace with itself;
- to foster the creation of a society in British Columbia in which there are no impediments to the full and free participation of all British Columbians in the economic, social, cultural and political life of British Columbia.
Alberta primarily legislated the Alberta Cultural Heritage Act in 1984 and refined it with the Alberta Multiculturalism Act in 1990.[55] The current legislation pertaining to multiculturalism is The Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Act that passed in 1996.[55] This current legislation deals with discrimination in race, religious beliefs, colour, gender, physical disability, age, marital status and sexual orientation, among other things.[57] Alberta Human Rights chapter A‑25.5 states:[58]
- multiculturalism describes the diverse racial and cultural composition of Alberta society and its importance is recognized in Alberta as a fundamental principle and a matter of public policy;
- it is recognized in Alberta as a fundamental principle and as a matter of public policy that all Albertans should share in an awareness and appreciation of the diverse racial and cultural composition of society and that the richness of life in Alberta is enhanced by sharing that diversity; and
- it is fitting that these principles be affirmed by the Legislature of Alberta in an enactment whereby those equality rights and that diversity may be protected.
Saskatchewan was the first Canadian province to adopt legislation on multiculturalism.[55] This piece of legislation was called The Saskatchewan Multiculturalism Act of 1974, but has since been replaced by new, revised Multiculturalism Act (1997).[55] The purposes of this act (s. 3) are similar to those of British Columbia:[59]
- to recognize that the diversity of Saskatchewan people with respect to race, cultural heritage, religion, ethnicity, ancestry and place of origin is a fundamental characteristic of Saskatchewan society that enriches the lives of all Saskatchewan people;
- to encourage respect for the multicultural heritage of Saskatchewan;
- to foster a climate for harmonious relations among people of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds without sacrificing their distinctive cultural and ethnic identities;
- to encourage the continuation of a multicultural society.
Manitoba's first piece of legislation on multiculturalism was the Manitoba Intercultural Council Act in 1984.[55] However in the summer on 1992, the province developed a new provincial legislation called the Multiculturalism Act.[55] The purposes of this act (s. 2) are to:[60]
- recognize and promote understanding that the cultural diversity of Manitoba is a strength of and a source of pride to Manitobans;
- recognize and promote the right of all Manitobans, regardless of culture, religion or racial background, to: (i) equal access to opportunities, (ii) participate in all aspects of society, and (iii) respect for their cultural values; and
- enhance the opportunities of Manitoba's multicultural society by acting in partnership with all cultural communities and by encouraging cooperation and partnerships between cultural communities
Ontario had a policy in place in 1977 that promoted cultural activity, but formal legislation for a Ministry of Citizenship and Culture (now known as Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration) only came to fruition in 1982.[55] The Ministry of Citizenship and Culture Act (1990) (s. 4) states its purpose:[61]
- to encourage full, equal and responsible citizenship among the residents of Ontario;
- recognizing the pluralistic nature of Ontario society, to stress the full participation of all Ontarians as equal members of the community, encouraging the sharing of cultural heritage while affirming those elements held in common by all residents;
- to ensure the creative and participatory nature of cultural life in Ontario by assisting in the stimulation of cultural expression and cultural preservation;
- to foster the development of individual and community excellence, enabling Ontarians to better define the richness of their diversity and the shared vision of their community.
Quebec differs from the rest of the nine provinces in that its policy focuses on "interculturalism"- rather than multiculturalism,[62][63] where diversity is strongly encouraged,[64] but only under the notion that it is within the framework that establishes French as the public language.[65] Immigrant children must attend French language schools; most signage in English is banned.[55] In 1990, Quebec released a White paper called Lets Build Quebec Together: A Policy Statement on Integration and Immigration which reinforced three main points[66]
- Quebec is a French-speaking society
- Quebec is a democratic society in which everyone is expected to contribute to public life
- Quebec is a pluralistic society that respects the diversity of various cultures from within a democratic framework
In 2005, Quebec passed legislation to develop the Ministry of Immigration and Cultural Communities, their functions were:[55]
- to support cultural communities in order to facilitate their full participation in Quebec society
- to foster openness to pluralism; and
- to foster closer intercultural relations among the people of Quebec.
New Brunswick first introduced their multicultural legislation in 1986.[55] The policy is guided by four principles: equality, appreciation, preservation of cultural heritages and participation.[67] In the 1980s the provincial government developed a Ministerial Advisory Committee to provide assistance to the minister of Business in New Brunswick, who is in turn responsible for settlement and multicultural communities.[55]
Nova Scotia introduced their multicultural legislation, the Act to Promote and Preserve Multiculturalism, in 1989.[55] The purpose of this Act is (s. 3):[68]
- encouraging recognition and acceptance of multiculturalism as an inherent feature of a pluralistic society;
- establishing a climate for harmonious relations among people of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds without sacrificing their distinctive cultural and ethnic identities;
- encouraging the continuation of a multicultural society as a mosaic of different ethnic groups and cultures
Prince Edward Island introduced their legislation on multiculturalism, the Provincial Multicultural Policy, in 1988.[55] This policies objectives were (s. 4):[69]
- serve to indicate that the province embraces the multicultural reality of Canadian society and acknowledges that Prince Edward Island has a distinctive multicultural heritage
- acknowledge the intrinsic worth and continuing contribution of al Prince Edward Islanders regardless of race, religion ethnicity, linguistic origin or length of residency.
- serve as an affirmation of Human Rights for all Prince Edward Islanders and as a complement to the equality of rights guaranteed in the P.E.I. Human Rights Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
- encourage specific legislative, political and social commitments to multiculturalism in Prince Edward Island
Newfoundland and Labrador first legislated their Policy on Multiculturalism in 2008.[55] Some of the policies are to:[70]
- ensure that relevant policies and procedures of provincial programs and practices reflect, and consider the changing needs of all cultural groups;
- lead in developing, sustaining and enhancing programs and services based on equality for all, notwithstanding racial, religious, ethnic, national and social origin;
- provide government workplaces that are free of discrimination and that promote equality of opportunity for all persons accessing employment positions within the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador;
- support multicultural initiatives by enhancing partnerships with culturally-diverse communities and provincial departments and agencies
Canadian multiculturalism is looked upon with admiration outside the country, resulting in the Canadian public dismissing most critics of the concept.[71][72] Multiculturalism is often cited as one of Canada's significant accomplishments and a key distinguishing element of Canadian identity.[73] Canadian supporters of multiculturalism promote the idea because they believe that immigrants help society grow culturally, economically and politically.[74] Supporters declare that multiculturalism policies help in bringing together immigrants and minorities in the country and pushes them towards being part of the Canadian society as a whole.[74] Supporters also argue that cultural appreciation of ethnic and religious diversity promotes a greater willingness to tolerate political differences.[73] Journalist and author Richard Gwyn has suggested that "tolerance" has replaced "loyalty" as the touchstone of Canadian identity.[73]
In a 2002 interview with the Globe and Mail, Aga Khan the 49th Imam of the Ismaili Muslims described Canada as:[71][75]
the most successful pluralist society on the face of our globe, without any doubt in my mind.... That is something unique to Canada. It is an amazing global human asset.
Aga Khan explained that the experience of Canadian governance – its commitment to pluralism and its support for the rich multicultural diversity of its peoples – is something that must be shared and would be of benefit societies in other parts of the world.[76][77] With this in mind, in 2006 the Global Centre for Pluralism was established in partnership with the Government of Canada.[78] The Centre seeks to export the Canadian experience by promoting pluralist values and practices in culturally diverse societies worldwide.[77]
Critics of multiculturalism in Canada often debate whether the multicultural ideal of benignly co-existing cultures that interrelate and influence one another, and yet remain distinct, is sustainable, paradoxical or even desirable.[79][80][81] In the introduction to an article which presents research showing that "the multiculturalism policy plays a positive role" in "the process of immigrant and minority integration," Citizenship and immigration Canada sums up the critics' position by stating:[82]
Critics argue that multiculturalism promotes ghettoization and balkanization, encouraging members of ethnic groups to look inward, and emphasizing the differences between groups rather than their shared rights or identities as Canadian citizens.
Canadian Neil Bissoondath in his book Selling Illusions: The Cult of Multiculturalism in Canada, argues that official multiculturalism limits the freedom of minority members, by confining them to cultural and geographic ethnic enclaves ("social ghettos").[83] He also argues that cultures are very complex, and must be transmitted through close family and kin relations.[84] To him, the government view of cultures as being about festivals and cuisine is a crude oversimplification that leads to easy stereotyping.[84]
According to a study conducted by The University of Victoria, many Canadians do not feel a strong sense of belonging in Canada, or cannot integrate themselves into society as a result of ethnic enclaves.[85] Many immigrants to Canada choose to live in ethnic enclaves because it can be much easier than fitting in with mainstream Canadian culture.[85]
Canadian Daniel Stoffman's book Who Gets In questions the policy of Canadian multiculturalism. Stoffman points out that many cultural practices (outlawed in Canada), such as allowing dog meat to be served in restaurants and street cockfighting, are simply incompatible with Canadian and Western culture.[86] He also raises concern about the number of recent older immigrants who are not being linguistically integrated into Canada (i.e., not learning either English or French).[86] He stresses that multiculturalism works better in theory than in practice and Canadians need to be far more assertive about valuing the "national identity of English-speaking Canada".[86]
Canadian Joseph Garcea explores the validity of attacks on multiculturalism because it supposedly segregates the peoples of Canada; multiculturalism hurts the Canadian, Québécois, and Aboriginal culture, identity, and nationalism projects; and, it perpetuates conflicts between and within groups.[87] Oxford sociologist, Reza Hasmath, argues that the multicultural project in Canada has the potential to hinder substantive equality in the labour market for ethnic minorities.[88]
Despite an official national bilingualism policy, many French commentators from the Province of Quebec believe multiculturalism threatened to reduce them to just another ethnic group.[89][90] Quebec's policy seeks to promote interculturalism, welcoming people of all origins while insisting that they integrate into Quebec's majority French-speaking society.[91] In 2008, a Consultation Commission on Accommodation Practices Related to Cultural Differences, headed by sociologist Gerard Bouchard and philosopher Charles Taylor, recognized that Quebec is a de facto pluralist society, but that the Canadian multiculturalism model "does not appear well suited to conditions in Quebec".[92]

ATandT Buys NextWave to Expand Wireless Spectrum Holdings
ATandT Buys NextWave to Expand Wireless Spectrum Holdings
Todd R. Weiss
Posted 2012-08-02
The purchase of NextWave Wireless will bolster AT&T's ability to take advantage of the long-awaited Wireless Communications Service (WCS) radio spectrum if federal rules changes eventually allow its use.
AT&T is buying
NextWave Wireless
, a wireless spectrum holding company, as it seeks to grasp a new chunk of the 2.3 GHz Wireless Communication Service (WCS) spectrum, which presently is not yet available for use by mobile Internet carriers. The move will allow AT&T to be ready to take advantage of WCS when federal rules change to allow the use of WCS in about three years, according to an Aug. 2 statement by AT&T.
"WCS spectrum was first auctioned in 1997, but has not been utilized for mobile Internet usage
due to technical rules designed to avoid possible interference
to satellite radio users in adjacent spectrum bands," according to the statement. "In June, AT&T and Sirius XM filed
a joint proposal with the FCC [Federal Communications Commission]
that would protect the adjacent satellite radio spectrum from interference and enable WCS spectrumfor the first timeto be used for mobile Internet service. This proposed solution on WCS spectrum, which is still under review by the FCC, effectively creates much-needed new spectrum capacity."
Under the deal, AT&T will pay about $600 million for NextWave, including $550 million to acquire its debt. In addition to its WCS holdings, NextWave also holds licenses in the Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) band in the United States and Canada. By working with the FCC to modify the rules governing WCS while protecting from possible interference with adjacent radio bands, "the proposed WCS rule changes and NextWave acquisition represent an alternative approach to creating additional wireless network capacity to help support skyrocketing wireless data usage on smartphones and tablets," according to AT&T.
If approved, AT&T said it hopes to begin initial deployment in three years to add to its 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) capacity. The NextWave acquisition must be approved by the FCC to be finalized. The deal is expected to close by the end of this year. The first 128 licenses in the 2.3GHz WCS were
originally auctioned
by the FCC for use back in April 1997, but they
quickly raised concerns about potential radio-wave interference
with the nearby Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (
) band, according to an ATT Public Policy Blog post. That dispute has continued to drag on, preventing wireless companies from using the WCS band for their growing legions of customers. That's where the new joint proposal from AT&T and Sirius XM comes in with hopes to finally find a solution to the debate. "Its time for the era of dispute and uncertainty to come to an end," wrote Joan Marsh of AT&T in the blog post. The proposal "will enable the adoption of technical rules satisfactory to both interests and should enable licensees in the 2.3GHz WCS band to deploy the most efficient new mobile broadband technologies, including LTE, while not posing an unreasonable interference threat to satellite radio reception," Marsh wrote. "To be sure, neither party to this proposal got everything it had asked for and perhaps wanted. But both AT&T and Sirius XM are confident that they have developed a set of technical rules that will allow each service to flourish while ending the uncertainty that has plagued both bands for far too long." NextWave and the FCC were previously locked in an
eight-year legal battle
over wireless spectrum rights until a settlement was reached in 2004.
Editor's Note: This article was updated to clarify how much AT&T paid to acquire NextWave.

I agree with the majority of the list though I do think a handful could probably be bumped up or down a single category. I'm not too sure, as it stands, that pirate is really a "most viable" but that's only because of a lack of masteries/runes. His early game is no where near as strong and all he's especially useful for is his ult. Now, when things catch back up to how they were if he hasn't been nerfed he'll be super strong all over again. Alistar is also an incredibly under appreciated tank, right now. Some of that is because of some of the odd things that trigger the cooldown on his heal (Cannonballs and fear in the boxes...really?) but he is still great for doing team tower dives with and pushes like a beast.

Lol, with the release of the Top 500 ELO players, e-***** measuring in these forums have risen 350%.
I would say at the moment Shaco is currently the most overpowered 'when played by a master' champion. He is absolutely unkillable when played by anyone who is good at him, I'd put Twitch at a similar level when played by a very competent player. No, I haven't been in any tournaments or **** like that but there are a few halfway-decent champions that turn into absolute ****ing monsters when put into the hands of a master. Some of those champions in the viable section are included in this.
I don't think a list like that works out well. Its so hard to classify heroes with different roles into categories like viable and unviable. If you break it down by roles, you start to see that even the roles of the tanks are different and the casters (in both offensive and support categories) as well. Due to the strength and apparent clarity of certain roles ( AOE initiator for example), tanks like amumu and malphite shine in people's eyes and are played a lot more. So let's say we were doing casters tier (and by casters I mean offensive sort): I THINK it would look like this, based on organized team games: Fiddle: Defintely the caster with the most impact on games Pheonix/Annie : Very powerful casters who can take a beating Karthus/Veigar: Situationally useful casters Ryze: Rarely useful caster Why doesn't someone else do a list for another class and we can discuss that out as well as this one?
Yeah Uthgar that's a much better way to do it. You also need to break out 3v3 vs 5v5 as well (or just focus on 5v5). Warwick and Ryze, for example, seem to be more viable in a 3v3 format than a 5v5.
3 v 3 is a completely different beast, BUT I will say that MUUUUUUUUUUUUUNDO rules in 3 v 3. And the gap between tanks who dont have aoe initiations and those that do becomes less apparent. I guess I could give a shot of what I know Fear, but theres a lot of grey area in most categories: Tanks Amummu: He does it all, stun aoe initiate, and do damage if you ignore him Malphite: Aoe Initiation, Damage if you ignore him (possibly), very tanky Both these heroes can jungle very well (not right now but at lvl 30), increasing their versatility. The rest dont have a powerful aoe initiation, so I believe they get split into different categories... you have tanks that cause disruption in a team fight and then you have those that are ganking tanks. Due to the nature of "AOE initiation" its hard to classify the above 2 tanks into gank tanks or disruption tanks... they are a bit of both. Gank tanks: Rammus: Has the most map control and mobility of all the tanks in the game. Taunt is amazing anti carry ability as well. Problem is his HP gain is low, but his armor and MR with ball curl more than make up for that. He does better than the rest when it comes to team fights with his taunt and aoe damage. Singed: I love singed. he's so fun to play, but in a real team fight he gets ignored and the only person he can toss vs a good team is their tank... That being said, basing your lineup around him and using his craziness probably hasnt been done well yet. Would love to see it. Disruptor tanks: Allistar: Has an aoe stun, and a headbut to position people and disrupt channels. Can heal and be super annoying . Unkillable with his ult... but why kill him is the problem. That being said he IS alive, he IS annoying and there aint nothing you can do about it. Best pushing tank in the game. Chogath: ANother fun hero. Massive HP, a silence and a stun. Why isn't he higher? He can be ignored also and isnt a threat till hes more farmed. He cant push as good as allistar so.... I think if people used cooldown runes and cooldown items with disruptor tanks... they could rise in prominence. Then there are the semi tanks or secondary tanks which are a class of their own I would say: Nunu Sion Blitz Mundo (not in any particular order) Making a tier list is very hard, because certain heroes shine in certain lineups. There is a lot of GOOD variety in the game, and lots more games need to be played on a high level before anything liek a tier list can be made with confidence.

A man sees a sign in front of a house "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the back yard. The guy goes into the back yard and sees a mutt sitting there."You talk?" he asks."Yep," the mutt replies."So, what's your story?"The mutt looks up and says "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leader, cause no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running. The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals.Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what hewants for the dog. The owner says "Ten dollars." The guy says he'll buy him but asks the owner, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him?" The owner replies, "He's such a f,,,ing liar."

(22) Georgetown 91
(22-9, 10-8 Big East)
(3) Syracuse 84
(28-4, 15-3 Big East)
12:00 PM ET, March 11, 2010
Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
Top Performers
Georgetown: C. Wright 27 Pts, 6 Reb, 6 Ast, 1 Stl
Syracuse: W. Johnson 24 Pts, 7 Reb, 3 Stl, 2 Blk
Syracuse featured the conference's player of the year and coach of the year in winning an unexpected Big East regular-season title. That doesn't mean that the Orange expect to roll through the tournament, especially with their first game against Georgetown.
The No. 3 Orange and No. 22 Hoyas renew their rivalry Thursday when they meet in the quarterfinals of the most-played series in the Big East tournament.Unranked at the start of the season, Syracuse (28-3) lost to Division II LeMoyne in an exhibition game that caused coach Jim Boeheim to say that his team needed to "grow up mentally and physically." That's exactly what happened in a big way as the Orange finished two games ahead of the pack in the powerful Big East."When you start out in the Big East, you want to do well enough that you can make the NCAA tournament," said Boeheim, who earned coach of the year honors for the fourth time. "If you can finish in the top four or five that is pretty good, but if you win the thing, I don't think it can get any better than that."Syracuse has five players who average in double figures led by Wesley Johnson, who averages 15.7. Johnson came to the Orange after two years at Iowa State and became the first transfer to win conference player of the year honors."It wouldn't be possible without my teammates," Johnson said. "We have a team full of MVPs not just me. So a piece of this trophy goes out to all of them."Syracuse won three games en route to the final in last year's tournament, needing six overtimes to get past Connecticut and one to beat West Virginia. The Orange, who fell 78-68 at Louisville on Saturday to lose the No. 1 ranking, are expecting more tight games this week."Every game will be tough," Boeheim said. "It's a nightmare. It'll be a great tournament with great games. We have a lot of good teams so any team can win."Syracuse swept both meetings with Georgetown (21-9) this season by doing a solid job of defending Hoyas star Greg Monroe, who had a total of 28 points and 13 rebounds while also committing 11 turnovers. The Orange also did a good job of getting to the line for 58 attempts."They're a good team, they can beat you so many ways," coach John Thompson III said. "They're long, they have a terrific defense, so we just need to come out and execute at both ends of the floor."Monroe and Jason Clark each scored 16 points as Georgetown advanced with a 69-49 victory over South Florida on Wednesday.The Orange and Hoyas have split 12 tournament meetings, with Syracuse winning 58-57 four years ago in the last one in the semifinals en route to its most recent title."We've played them twice already," Thompson said. "It's Georgetown-Syracuse. We know what they're going to do. They know what we're going to do."The winner of this game will face either Villanova or Marquette in the tournament semifinals.SPONSORED HEADLINES

Gifted students who can ace exams with ease may still earn poor grades for failing to complete homework that seems like a waste of time, and for one gifted student that meant colleges rejected him for his 3.3 GPA.

Dog owners get more exercise than gym members
Responsible dog owners know the benefits of walking their dogs—happier pets, fewer accidents in the house. But they may not know that those walks benefit their own health as much as their dogs'.
According to a new study conducted by British pet health company Bob Martin found that dog owners get more exercise than gym members. The average dog owner walks his or her pooch twice a day for 24 minutes each stroll, plus three longer treks a week at 51 minutes each. That's more than eight hours of exercise per week, compared to just one hour and 20 minutes that the average gym member gets.
Pet owners aren't only getting more exercise than many gym members—they're enjoying it more, too. Eighty-six percent of dog owners said they like walking with their pet, while just 16 percent of people reported enjoying going to the gym.

- Researching time for items has always been interesting but often
not conclusive. For example: needlework, if we know a particular
type was done in (x) century, we should also know that it likely
didn't spring into use instantly, but was used and developed over
time and place. We don't have the extant examples to show this
so we can only surmise and use conjecture as to when it started.
Of course we do have a few examples - like when blackwork was
brought to England from Spain. However, we can't be absolutely
certain how and when it actually started in Spain. We just know
when it flourished in Spain.
In all the research I've worked on over the years I have forced
myself to allow a little given time at either end of the generally
accepted time-frame to allow for this. I suspect this is true of
many things through time other than just needlework. It would
be nice of course if we could be absolutely certain such as with
actual dated inventions, so I generally accept "wriggle room" unless
it can be proven to a set date.
Cheers, Sine

pretty similar for 14th... Before then it's probably manageable.
My impression from my looking around at late 16th and early 17th century
clothing is that it does change fairly quickly, too.
That said I think I am going to go ahead and make myself a dress from 10-20
years back, because I want something from that period. And I figured it
could be an old dress of my persona... But when I do wear anything
significantly older, or further in the future, I do so knowing that my
persona wouldn't have done so. Just like I don't dress like my grandmother
(with a retro touch, maybe, but not quite like her). I just either ignore
the fact or think I'm just "different" on that day. Again, this is late
middle ages... not sure if actually makes a difference before 1250-1300.
A piece of jewellery I think would be different, too, but I don't know
whether it's because I don't know enough of its evolution, or if it really
was more estable, as I suppose (hints from jewelry fans/experts welcome

comfortable you are with what you've found out and what you can do. To me
it's all about coming closer and closer :) (within economic restraints!)

All over the web, you can find "selfies": photos people take of themselves, often in provocative poses. Whether they're on YouTube or Facebook, girls (and some boys) now feel more pressure to be "camera-ready" -- as if to say that the only way to be valued is to appear sexy.
The teen years are all about experimentation and the search for identity. A lot of times, the impulse to broadcast sexy photos is driven by the desire for attention. Ask your teen whether she wants to get attention by being provocative or by exhibiting other qualities. Help her understand how certain choices make her feel.
Here are some more ways to help teens develop a healthy self-image:
Offer positive role models. Get your two cents in about who your kids idolize or find attractive in the media. Without being heavy-handed, talk about different people you find beautiful who have various body types, ethnicities, and ages, and explain why.
Model positive body talk. Pay attention to how you talk about your own body and those of people you know. If your teen hears you being constantly critical of your looks or the looks of your peers, she will follow your lead. Focus on your teen's qualities and actions that have nothing to do with her body or appearance so she can find strength in her actions and abilities.
Help your kid become a media critic. Pay attention to ads, magazine covers, and billboards. Talk to your kids about how these messages make you feel, and ask them about their own reactions.
Expose the myths. Make sure kids know that celebrities have stylists, hairdressers, personal trainers, and more -- all working to make them look polished. Point out that pictures in magazines have been altered to make models look flawless -- and impossibly thin. Even better, show them just how much work goes into a cover shoot by watching the short "Evolution" film produced by the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty.

JAL turns to Brazilian planes
February 2, 2009
Japan Airlines has begun flying Brazilian planes for the first time, using two Embraer 170 jets for domestic routes, the airline said.
The first flight from Nagoya to Matsuyama took off Sunday. The airline said it would also use the jets for four round trip flights between Nagoya and Fukuoka and add additional routes through the summer.
Japan Airlines turned to Brazilian plane maker Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA because of the Embraer 170′s fuel-efficiency, Kyodo news reported Monday.

Creating High Reliability Teams in Healthcare through In situ Simulation Training
Received: 4 May 2011 / Revised: 20 June 2011 / Accepted: 4 July 2011 / Published: 19 July 2011
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Teamwork and Leadership in Organizations)
Abstract: The importance of teamwork on patient safety in healthcare has been well established. However, the theory and research of healthcare teams are seriously lacking in clinical application. While conventional team theory assumes that teams are stable and leadership is constant, a growing body of evidence indicates that most healthcare teams are unstable and lack constant leadership. For healthcare organizations to reduce error and ensure patient safety, the true nature of healthcare teams must be better understood. This study presents a taxonomy of healthcare teams and the determinants of high reliability in healthcare teams based on a series of studies undertaken over a five-year period (2005–2010).

Audience Reviews for The Mysterious Island
it looks like i'm the 4th person on flixster to rate this so i think it needs a review. it's a mostly silent underseas adventure starring lionel barrymore as a scientist who wants to prove the existence of mermen. he builds some submarines which are promptly confiscated by the military for more nefarious purposes. there're some really well done scenes including octopus attacks; very cool effects for 1929. a kind of prequel to 20,000 leagues under the sea

Effective for the period ending May 31, 2013, the monthly reports entitled "FHA Monthly Outlook" and "Monthly Reports to the FHA Commissioner" have been replaced with new reports entitled "FHA Single Family Origination Trends", "Loan Performance Trends" and "Monthly Production Report". The new reports provide details on the credit characteristics and performance of the FHA programs, the information previously found in the previous reports as well as additional information regarding the FHA programs that was previously provided in quarterly reports.
The Office of Evaluation section of the Monthly Report to the FHA Commissioner describes FHA's insurance activities for single family, multifamily and Title I programs. It shows the current month's activities and compares the cumulative activities current fiscal year-to-date with the activities of the prior fiscal year for a comparable time period. It lists activities using an inventory approach showing beginning portfolio balances, additions for the period, subtractions for the period and ending portfolio balances. For single family programs, it gives additional detailed information such as loans in default, use of loss mitigation tools and comparisons with the conventional market and VA.
Note: The May 2012 report will show changes in the grouping of insurance activity on the Multifamily Insured Portfolio page. These changes were required because of source-system changes that caused this reporting to erroneously treat recent period insurance endorsements and terminations as-if they had occurred in the prior year, but had just been recorded. We apologize for this problem and we will be re-posting prior month's reports (October 2011 through April 2012) in the near future so that users have correct information on monthly insurance activity.
NOTE: Modifications were made in the March and April 2012 reports on the SF Insured page regarding the Current and Prior fiscal years for prepayment and claim numbers.

President Obama's new war on ISIS is bringing back some old names and faces from the George W. Bush years, especially as the war appears to be expanding into Syria. Though the neoconservative vision failed miserably in Iraq after the 2003 invasion they have not given up hope in the power and glory of US imperialism. Despite even mainstream voices calling the expansion of the war against ISIS into Syria flawed, the old neocons are ready, once again, to sacrifice the lives of other Americans for their pipe dreams.

In hindsight the stagecraft is rather obvious as the Truthdig piece points out – Tweets by the Foreign Policy Initiative indicating prior knowledge of Wahl's resignation and the interview coming right after the fact with Kirchick makes it even more clear. The question then is why did the mainstream media fall for it? Or did they just not care?

In addition to Lieberman, the bill's sponsors include Senators Tom Carper (D-DE) and Susan Collins (R-ME). But it was Collins' defense of the bill that should send shivers up the spines of anyone who cares about the Internet.

"Unhappy with the Morgenthau-plan consequences, former U.S. President Herbert Hoover remarked in a report dated 18 March 1947:"There is the illusion that the New Germany left after the annexations can be reduced to a 'pastoral state'. It cannot be done unless we exterminate or move 25,000,000 people out of it."
It is argued that it was Hoover's March 1947 statements in his report that led to the end of the Morgenthau plan and to a change in U.S. policy."

A self proclaimed scrapoholic, I have just too many crafting supplies; more than I need or know what to do with. So sometimes, when I actually sit down to make a project, I find that I have so many options, that I take too much time to finish anything. That's why I love being challenged! For this challenge, I had to use no other tool but the Orange Handled scissor! My paper supplies include 5 sheets of white cardstock, ribbons, adhesives and a bunch of photos.
I am going to be making a mini album today. And this is a pretty easy and quick project to do (excluding the drying time). To start with, I took 4 of my white cardstocks and folded them in half and added modge podge to glue it close. This way I created four 6 by 12 inch album pages. I added some ribbon on the bottom just before pressing the cardstock down to glue.
Now to adhere the pages to each other, in order to form an album/book, I added more modge podge between each pair of pages. I had to wait for the pages to dry at this stage, and to keep things flat I did put down a heavy book on my album and also used some paper clips near the spine of the book. I let it dry overnight. You could use regular white glue, but that is not quite photo safe. If you would like to use this method to just make a book and stick images or drawings, the white glue could work.
Now comes the fun part! Adhering the photos! I used a mix of black and white and colored photos here. This is an handmade album, and thus surface of the pages are slightly uneven, so I used my adhesive (I used a tape runner by Glue arts) generously while adhering the photos to the album. I have eight 6 by 6 inch pages to fill with photos. A vertical 4 by 6 photo will fit neatly on a page or you could use smaller wallet sized photos here.
Now to add drama and interest to the cover of my album, I used the fifth and last white cardstock sheet to make a few flowers and a photo frame. Using the scissors, I cut about 4 or five strips off the cardstock, each about half and inch wide. I also used a small bowl from my kitchen as a guide to draw a circle onto my cardstock with a pencil. This circle will be a guide to make the photo frame.
I covered the circle I drew with some cling wrap. I then moistened the strip of paper I just cut with some water and modge podge. This makes the cardstock pliable and soft to work with. I pleated this wet strip along the circle as seen below. You will need two or three strips to completely finish pleating around the circle. I let this dry, and since I used the cling wrap it will peel off very easily.
Now using my Orange handled scissors, I spiral cut into the circle I drew earlier on the cardstock. This is to make a flower.
I moistened this spirally cut circle and rolled into a flower. And let it dry on the cling wrap.
Once dry, I added a photo, the photo frame and flowers onto the album cover. I added bits of ribbon to the center of the flowers and adhered them using some foam dots.
To give the album a pretty touch, I tied it shut with a huge organza bow.
And there it is, a pretty mini album to treasure.
