Stem Cell Research

Stem cells are the body's "building blocks"; they are the cells from which all tissues and organs are derived. They have the ability to divide while still maintaining their identity, yet they can also develop into specialized cells in response to certain stimuli. They can be found in a wide range of tissues in mammals at different stages of development and in adult organisms in tissues like nerve, muscle and skin. Stem cells from adults have a more restricted range of development. In order to develop new treatments for specific conditions scientists must understand more about how cell differentiation is directed by biological signals. New methods need to be found to grow large numbers of desired cells and more scientific experimentation involving different types of stem cells is vital. It will take many years for research projects to provide sufficient knowledge about stem cells to make new treatments possible (see Medical Research).

Sterilization of Indigenous Women in Canada

The practice of sterilization arose out of the eugenics movement and has a long, often hidden history in Canada. Sterilization legislation in Alberta (1928–72) and British Columbia (1933–73) attempted to limit the reproduction of “unfit” persons, and increasingly targeted Indigenous women. Coerced sterilization of Indigenous women took place both within and outside existing legislation, and in federally operated Indian hospitals. The practice has continued into the 21st century. Approximately 100 Indigenous women have alleged that they were pressured to consent to sterilization between the 1970s and 2018, often while in the vulnerable state of pregnancy or childbirth.

Steven Galloway

Steven Galloway, novelist, professor (born 13 July 1975 in Vancouver, BC). Steven Galloway is widely known for his award-winning international bestseller The Cellist of Sarajevo. He is also known for the controversy surrounding his 2016 dismissal as head of the creative writing program at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Galloway was accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault by a former student, with whom he had a consensual affair. An investigation conducted in 2016 could not substantiate the sexual assault allegations against Galloway. In 2018, Galloway sued the complainant and more than 20 others for defamation. Their appeals were dismissed in 2024. The suit will go to trial, though a date has yet to be set.

Stickleback in Canada

Stickleback, of the fish family Gasterosteidae, occur in freshwater lakes and streams and in marine waters along northern coastlines of the northern hemisphere. There are five genera and, as a conservative figure, about eight species worldwide; four genera and five species are found in Canada. Canadian sticklebacks are most diverse in the Maritimes but occur in all provinces and territories. Brook and ninespine sticklebacks are common from the prairies to Quebec. Threespine sticklebacks, well known in Europe, occur along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts; some populations enter the ocean, while others live only in fresh water a short distance inland. The other two species are confined to the East Coast.

Straight Edge Kids

It's Saturday night in a downtown Toronto club.

In other words, it's another night of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. But there's a twist.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on May 17, 1999
