National Public Radio (NPR), on the other hand, is a Democratic Party initiative. Unlike the CBC, NPR was never designed to be a network. Initially, it was just a few dozen scattered local radio stations, licenced to colleges and universities. This became a successful model that today has more than a thousand local radio stations as part of the NPR system. Jeffrey Dvorkin is the former managing editor and chief journalist at CBC Radio and former VP-news and information at NPR.

The Leafs 0-10 in games where the opposition could have been eliminated in the era of Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. There were two games the Leafs should have lost but found a way to rally from the depths and prevail. The Lightning came out in a fury but the Leafs had already cracked open Tampa’s aura of invincibility.

In recent media appearances, Brock experts discussed the reasons children are shy, upcoming changes to police recruitment in Ontario, ongoing geologic research at Crawford Lake and the impact of the PSAC strike on labour movement trends.

Photographer Ken Pretty spotted this strangely shaped iceberg off the coast of Harbour Grace, N.L., on Thursday. has captured the attention of iceberg lovers after photographing an oddly-shaped hunk — now popularly known as the "dickie berg" on social media — off the coast of Newfoundland. "I'm gettin' a lot of response, a lot of reaction to the photo because of its resemblance to ... part of the male anatomy, say," chuckled drone photographer Ken Pretty. The berg got its nickname from the term "dickie bird," a Newfoundland euphemism for the male anatomy. But anyone rushing off to see the "dickie berg" of Harbour Grace for themselves is in for a disappointment.

Trump insisted on meeting North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in person. That’s Donald Trump on North Korea. The U.S. under Biden was no longer interested in improving relations between North and South Korea. As Biden put it this week, America’s main interest in the Korean Peninsula is to provide a nuclear umbrella. And there may be other areas where a Trump victory may provide a better outcome than a Biden win — no matter what the intelligentsia says.

(Higher-skilled jobs are defined as requiring a minimum of two years of post-secondary education and above; lower-skilled jobs only require some high school education and on-the-job training.) Even among longer-term economic immigrants who have been in Canada for more than a decade, 31 per cent were in lower-skilled positions. This group of immigrants, selected for their higher education and skills, is a major provider of lower-skilled labour. It accounted for 53 per cent of all adult immigrants, and almost half (46 per cent) of the immigrant labour force in lower-skilled jobs. “Traditionally, economic immigrants in particular have been selected based on a ‘human capital model,’ which orients immigration towards higher educated individuals,” said the report.

When I was hired as president of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, I was given a mandate to initiate change at the university by the Board of Regents. Personal attacksWhat was different about being president at Memorial University, compared to the other universities I have led, was that the social media and email attacks began almost immediately, and quickly escalated. I let the Board of Regents know about it, and I released a statement to the university community.

Vianne Timmons is the former president of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador.
