The Pacific Salmon Experiment in Northern Ontario and the “Indian Problem”
Between 1954 and 1956, the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests attempted to naturalize two species of Pacific salmon in the Hudson Bay region. While this experiment failed, it accidentally resulted in the naturalization of pink salmon in North America’s Great Lakes, accounts of which typically footnote the experiment. Reversing the focus, this article foregrounds the Pacific salmon experiment, placing it in the context of “experimentalist” wi…
From Responsible Research and Innovation to responsibility by design
Drawing on more than eight years working to implement Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the Human Brain Project, a large EU-funded research project that brings together neuroscience, computing, social sciences, and the humanities, and one of the largest investments in RRI in one project, this article offers insights on RRI and explores its possible future. We focus on the question of how RRI can have long-lasting impact and persist bey…
Good governance as a response to discontents? Déjà vu, or lessons for AI from other emerging technologies
Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have led to intense debates about benefits and concerns associated with this powerful technology. These concerns and debates have similarities with developments in other emerging technologies characterized by prominent impacts and uncertainties. Against this background, this paper asks, What can AI governance, policy and ethics learn from other emerging technologies to address concerns and ensure th…
"Preaching "the Gospel of Clean Fish
At Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition in 1913, Canada's fisheries department launched a campaign to promote fish consumption. The campaign included a model retail fish shop, a cookbook, and a fish restaurant, and assumed women were irrational consumers who required training in fish purchasing and preparation. The campaign is an example of "rational consumption," a termed coined by Carolyn Goldstein to describe the shift from production to con…
Ethical and Social Aspects of Neurorobotics
The interdisciplinary field of neurorobotics looks to neuroscience to overcome the limitations of modern robotics technology, to robotics to advance our understanding of the neural system’s inner workings, and to information technology to develop tools that support those complementary endeavours. The development of these technologies is still at an early stage, which makes them an ideal candidate for proactive and anticipatory ethical reflection.…
Framing governance for a contested emerging technology
This paper examines how the governance in AI policy documents have been framed as way to resolve public controversies surrounding AI. It draws on the studies of governance of emerging technologies, the concept of policy framing, and analysis of 49 recent policy documents dedicated to AI which have been prepared in the context of technological hype expecting fast advances of AI that will fundamentally change economy and society. The hype about AI …
Fisheries, invasive species, and the formation and fracturing of the Great Lakes system
Key Messages Invasive and introduced fish species highlight tensions between systemic and jurisdictional visions of the Great Lakes during the 20th century. Different jurisdictions shared the Great Lakes and acknowledged its status as a single biological and hydrological system, yet often took divergent approaches to managing their fisheries. Alewife and splake demonstrate how Ontario and Michigan differed in their respective approaches to fisher…
Gauging Social Integration among Canadian Muslims
While the subject of "Muslim integration" has received extensive scholarly attention, especially in the Western European context, there has been little study of the subject in Canada. Canada has a long history of welcoming immigrants who make up 20 percent of the population. Yet, Canada has not fully escaped the debates and anxieties related to the accommodation of Muslim immigrants and the integration of those populations. In particular, these a…
Homegrown Terrorism in Canada
The article examines how global trends related to militant Islamism have influenced patterns of homegrown terrorism in Canada. It seeks to understand how an evolving movement has shaped three case studies, two cases of homegrown terrorism, the case of Momin Khawaja, the “Toronto 18” plot, and the emerging trend of extremist travelers. Recognizing the notable gap in the literature, a growing number of cases of homegrown terrorism and extremism in …
Memoir of Henry Venn, B. D.
Henry Venn (1796–1873) was an Anglican clergyman who, like his father and grandfather before him, was influential in the evangelical movement and campaigned for social reform, eradication of the slave trade, and better education and economic progress in the British colonies so as to enable them to become responsible for their own affairs. Venn was Secretary of the Church Missionary Society from 1841 to 1873, and alongside practical training and a…
Samuel Wilmot, Fish Culture, and Recreational Fisheries in late 19th century Ontario
Historians have shown that fish culturists and anglers enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship in 19th century North America. Sharing interests in producing and protecting fish for recreation, the two groups supported emerging regimes of fisheries administration and fish culture that privileged angling and game fish species. In Ontario, it has been argued that anglers achieved control of inland fisheries with help from state fish culturist Sam…

A Conversation with Tennyson (1870)
Tennyson entered, and almost at once proposed that we should go out of doors. After a short stroll on the lawn under the cedars, we went into the 'careless ordered garden', walked round it, and then sat down in the small summer-house. It is a quaint rectangular garden, sloping to the west, where Nature and Art blend happily,—orchard trees, and old-fashioned flower-beds, with stately pines around, giving to it a sense of perfect rest. This garden …

XII. Observations on the mode of Construction of the present old London Bridge, as discovered in the years 1826 and 1827
During the execution of the works of the new London Bridge, it became necessary to relieve the water-way of the River by the removal of two of the starlings and piers of the old structure, in consequence of the obstruction to the current by the erection of the cofferdams for the new works; in effecting this object, a practical opportunity presented itself of ascertaining the mode in which the piers of the original old Bridge were built. This subj…
