Policing Protest Through Financial Sanctions: Canada and the ‘Freedom Convoy
For 3 weeks in early 2022, the so‐called ‘Freedom’ Convoy took over the downtown of Canada's capital, fuelled by frustrations with the federal government over strict vaccine policies and frequent lockdowns. In response, the Prime Minister declared a national crisis and invoked the Emergencies Act. This article examines the financial sanctions used as part of these emergency measures to force an end to the Ottawa encampments. In the 1 week during …
Understanding public confidence in the police within a changing crime landscape
Examining the effects of the killing of George Floyd by police in the United States on attitudes of Black Londoners: A replication
High-profile incidents of police misconduct can have serious consequences for public trust in the police. A recent study in the British Journal of Political Science found that Eric Garner’s death in NYC lead to more negative attitudes towards the police in London among Black residents compared to White and Asian residents. The current study aimed to replicate this transnational effect by assessing the impact of George Floyd’s death on Londoners’ …
Public support for empowering police during the Covid-19 crisis: Evidence from London
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, police services around the world were granted unprecedented new powers to enforce social distancing restrictions. In this paper, we present data from a rolling representative sample survey of Londoners (n = 3,201) fielded during the height of the first wave of the pandemic (April to June 2020). We examine the scale of public support for giving police additional powers to enforce the regulations, whether suppo…
A Small Area Estimation Method for Investigating the Relationship between Public Perception of Drug Problems with Neighborhood Prognostics: Trends in London between 2012 and 2019
The correlation of the public's perception of drug problems with neighborhood characteristics has rarely been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate factors that correlate with public perceptions in London boroughs using the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) Public Attitude Survey between 2012 and 2019. A subject-specific random effect deploying a Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) using an Adaptive Gaussian Quadrature m…
The Brief Form of the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 for Individuals with Visual Impairments
Children with visual impairments (VI) tend to struggle with their fundamental motor skills (FMS), and these difficulties often persist across the lifespan, requiring frequent assessment. The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) shows robust psychometric properties for children with VI. The TGMD, which includes 13 skills, is time-consuming to administer and score, warranting the need to explore brief versions. Therefore, the purpose of this stud…
SKIPing Together: A Motor Competence Intervention Promotes Gender-Integrated Friendships for Young Children
Research Synthesis
Herbert Simon’s (1956) concept of satisficing provides an intuitive explanation for the reasons why respondents to surveys sometimes adopt response strategies that can lead to a reduction in data quality. As such, the concept rapidly gained popularity among researchers after it was first introduced to the field of survey methodology by Krosnick and Alwin (1987), and it has become a widely cited buzzword linked to different forms of response error…
Sanctuary Inter/rupted: Borders, illegalization, and unbelonging
Key Messages Sanctuary Inter/rupted, a group exhibit by Way Past Kennedy Road, explored issues of internal borders, illegalization, and unbelonging in Toronto. We focus on how artists in the Sanctuary Inter/rupted exhibit unsettled whitewashing logics of belonging and contested the limits of liberal sanctuary city movements. We expand the ways that racial justice is understood and practiced in sanctuary city movement organizing

Using New Technologies for Time Diary Data Collection: Instrument Design and Data Quality Findings from a Mixed-Mode Pilot Survey
Recent years have witnessed a steady growth of time-use research, driven by the increased research and policy interest in population activity patterns and their associations with long-term outcomes. There is recent interest in moving beyond traditional paper-administered time diaries to use new technologies for data collection in order to reduce respondent burden and administration costs, and to improve data quality. This paper presents two novel…

Militaries, finance, and (in)security
This essay points to some of the ways that militaries are focused on money and economics, and addresses what this means for understanding the entanglements of security and finance. We cannot think about security in the contemporary moment without also thinking about militaries and war, and it is only by addressing how military power engages money and finance that can we better understand how insecurity is enacted

A Comparison of Branched Versus Unbranched Rating Scales for the Measurement of Attitudes in Surveys
The format of a survey question can affect responses. Branched survey scales are a question format that is increasingly used but little researched. It is unclear whether branched scales work in a different way than unbranched scales. Based on the decomposition principle ( Armstrong, Denniston, and Gordon 1975 ), if breaking a decision task up into component decision parts increases the accuracy of the final decision, one could imagine that breaki…
Money as a "weapons system" and the entrepreneurial way of war
In US counterinsurgency doctrine, money has been characterized as "ammunition" and as a "weapons system". Money is being wielded to win over the "hearts and minds" of the population, and to protect the lives of the occupying forces. Soldiers are taking on greater responsibility for spending money on reconstruction and development projects on the battlefield. Billions of dollars have been spent by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan on a wide ran…
War, law, jurisdiction, and juridical othering: Private military security contractors and the Nisour Square massacre
In September 2007 private contractors working for Blackwater, a private military contracting firm based in the US, killed seventeen people in Nisour Square in Iraq and severely injured more than twenty others. For over seven years the contractors evaded legal liability. This paper examines the way that legal jurisdiction played out in this evasion of accountability. We first examine the role of Order 17 in mandating that private contractors in Ir…

Between Tragedy and Farce: 9/11 Compensation and the Value of Life and Death
This paper examines how lives have been valued (or not) in the US federal compensation programs set up in the wake of 9/11. The Victim Compensation Fund (VCF), implemented within days of the attacks, provided unlimited funds to the victims. In contrast, many first responders who developed illnesses later have had access to limited support. Only in 2011 was the Zadroga Act signed into place, which extends compensation to these workers and others. …

This paper engages with a wide range of social theories to argue for a more nuanced understanding of money that is attuned to its spatial and scalar dimensions. The paper begins with a brief overview of modernist and postmodernist accounts, including the works of Karl Marx, Georg Simmel, Max Weber, Jean Baudrillard, Marc Shell and Jean-Joseph Goux. These theories have provided a useful corrective to neoclassical economic accounts that distil the …

Ornamenting the Facade of Hell: Iconographies of 19th-Century Canadian Paper Money
In this paper I explore the iconographies on 19th-century Canadian paper money. Drawing upon the recent debates regarding the intersection of culture, society, and economy, it is argued that the form of paper money conveys not only economic but social and cultural values. The paper is divided into three parts. The first section situates Canadian paper currency in terms of the consolidation of paper monies more generally in the 18th and 19th centu…

Leaky Borders and Solid Citizens: Governing Security, Prosperity and Quality of Life in a North American Partnership
The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), signed by Canada, Mexico and the United States in March 2005, proposes a dramatic reshaping of the continent. This is no simple plan for the intensification of economic and security cooperation. The SPP is much more expansive and includes quality of life issues such as education, science and technology, the environment, and health. But what does it mean that there is an emergent conc…

The Inevitability of Integration? Neoliberal Discourse and the Proposals for a New North American Economic Space after September 11
The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 had an immediate impact on Canada–U.S. relations. Whereas security became foremost among U.S. concerns, Canada became preoccupied with ensuring that the newly fortified border would not impede trade. Within days of the attacks, Canadian analysts argued that the only way to guarantee open access to U.S. markets would be to negotiate some form of deeper North American economic integration. Previous proposa…

The impact of homeland independence on the Latvian community in Great Britain
The article examines the effects of homeland independence on the Latvian DP community in Great Britain. Although the most tangible effects of independence have been the new opportunities to re-establish physical links with the homeland — to visit, and for a tiny minority to return to live, there have also been significant consequences for the organised community and on conceptions of home and belonging. This paper suggests that for an overwhelmin…

Places and Spaces of Dislocation: Lady Oracle's Toronto
In this paper we explore some of the issues relating to place, identity, and ideology in Margaret Atwood's third novel, Lady Oracle, first published in 1976. Simply, Lady Oracle relates the story of the writer Joan Foster as she struggles to come to terms with her multiple identities. In so doing, the novel depicts some of the many social and spatial changes taking place in Toronto from the 1940s to the 1970s. Herein we focus on the representatio…

Beyond Survival? Wilderness and Canadian National Identity into the Twenty-First Century
Are wilderness and industry reconcilable? This article examines recent examples of Canadian art and literature which draw upon the canonical theme of wilderness, but which encourage a re-examination of the impact of human presence on the land rather than idealising those spaces where humans are not. Recent works by Margaret Atwood, Thaddeus Holownia and Edward Burtynsky encourage a much more complex understanding of land and identity that reconfi…
