Environmental risks and opportunities of orphaned oil and gas wells in the United States
Hundreds of thousands of documented and undocumented orphaned oil and gas wells exist in the United States (U.S.). These wells have the potential to contaminate water supplies, degrade ecosystems, and emit methane and other air pollutants. Thus, orphaned wells present risks to climate stability and to environmental and human health, which can be reduced by plugging. To quantify environmental risks and opportunities of well plugging at the nationa…

Regional space in Québec cinema has long been associated with the vestiges of French-Canadian Catholic identity. A body of films in the 2000s by well-known filmmakers challenges this traditional iconography and imagines the Québec region as not only a site of socio-economic crisis and stagnation but of cultural transmission and spiritual renewal. The protagonists in Louis Bélanger’s Route 132 and Bernard Émond’s La neuvaine/The Novena (2005) and …
Evidence-Based Survey Design
Likert-type scales are often used in survey instruments, and practitioners and researchers need to clearly understand the appropriate use of a midpoint in these scales. The authors of this article explore research studies from various disciplines to indicate that there are circumstances when a midpoint should be included and others where it should not. They provide tables, summarizing the benefits and problems in each case as well as evidence-bas…
Borderland Identities in Niagara
This present article explores how border identities are narrated in Craig Davidson’s Cataract City (2013), a Canadian novel about friendship between two young men, set in Niagara Falls, Ontario and their involvement with a smuggler on the Tuscarora Reservation near Niagara Falls, New York. Drawing on research on the complex and contradictory nature of border identities in Canada and elsewhere, it examines how the novel’s Niagara protagonists nego…
Somewhere in California
Scholars of critical regionalism have argued convincingly for a complex re-definition of regions/regionalism that examines the inherent mobility of cultures and their re-appropriation of place. This article aims to bring American-based critical regionalism into dialogue with research on Canada-U.S. cross-border regions, specifically the Pacific Northwest (Cascadia). I will examine an emerging aspect of western culture in the Lower Mainland of Van…

Continental Drift
Michel Brault's Entre la mer et l'eau douce (1967), one of the most accomplished feature films of the Quiet Revolution period, follows the journey of singer-songwriter Claude Fournier from the Charlevoix region to Montreal, where he drifts through a series of marginal jobs and love relationships before returning, disappointed, to his rural village. A portrait of “in-betweenness” in terms of identity, space and time, Brault's film tells the story …
Mère, je vous hais
The gendered rhetoric of Quebec modern nationalism has come under recent scrutiny by political scientists who have questioned its equation of citizenship with a masculine universal (Lamoureux 2001). At the heart of this discourse of liberation is the desire on the part of the Quebecois national subject, figured as castrated by Anglo-Canadian political and cultural domination, to leave the posture du fils (within a female-dominated single-parent f…
Constrained Militants
Beur filmmaker Bourlem Guerdjou's 1998 film Living in Paradise follows the divergent trajectories of a young Algeria couple (Nora and Lakhdar) living in the Nanterre shantytown during the Franco-Algerian war. Although the focus on Nora may seem on the surface to subvert the film's male-centred narrative as her growing political conscience leads her to harbour FLN militants from the French police, the film's gender politics are in fact complex and…
