Ethical justification of coercive public health policies must be premised upon their safety and efficacy
This article critically engages with Johnson et al. (2024), who argue that coercive public health policies require context-specific ethical justification. While Johnson et al. highlight four key principles—harm prevention, public interest, paternalism, and the duty of easy rescue—the present analysis contends that these ethical frameworks are insufficient unless safety, efficacy, proportionality, and necessity of the intervention are established …
A Global Index to Quantify Discrimination Resulting from Covid-19 Pandemic Response Policies
Immediately following the emergency use authorizations of COVID-19 vaccines, governments around the world made these products available to their populations and later started implementing differential rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated citizens regarding mobility and access to venues and services. The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) is a time series database that reflects the extent of public health measures in each countr…
Scope and Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Workplace Vaccination Mandates During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic was characterized by a patchwork of government policies in countries around the world, many of which limited civil liberties in unprecedented ways. Here, our objective was to analyze the scope and spatio-temporal patterns of workplace vaccination mandates. Using daily policy data from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker for 2021-2022, we developed a simple mandate intensity index representi…
Vaccine hesitancy was not shown to be associated with traffic safety or driver behavior
The study by Redelmeier et al. (2023) generated significant news media echo in Canada with headlines such as "Unvaccinated drivers more likely to be in a car crash, study" (Globe and Mail, 22 Dec 2022), "COVID vaccine refusers have 72 percent higher risk of a serious traffic crash, study shows" (Vice, 13 Dec 2022), or "Auto insurers may charge unvaccinated drivers more for insurance -report" (Insurance Business Canada, 19 Dec 2022). Indeed, traff…
The academic left, human geography, and the rise of authoritarianism during the Covid-19 pandemic
In this paper, we critically analyse the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting not only the breadth of knowledge geographers have already contributed to this assessment, but also the surprisingly limited critique within geography, social sciences and the broadly defined ‘Academic Left' of the authoritarian dimension of the public health policies of 2020 onwards. We conclude with a number of research questions for the aftermath of the pa…

Measuring Toronto's vital signs – Comparing global and local ideal point analysis in an urban equity case study
Mapping Covid-19 in Context
Le nouveau coronavirus SRAS-CoV-2 a lourdement perturbé le cours de la vie humaine en 2020. Institutions, experts et profanes sont nombreux à suivre de près la propagation mondiale du virus et les conséquences des pathologies associées à la COVID–19. Les cartes thématiques sont abondamment utilisées pour illustrer les multiples indicateurs disponibles, parmi lesquels le nombre des cas, les taux d’hospitalisation et les décès. Malgré les efforts d…
Applications of 3D Printing in Physical Geography Education and Urban Visualization
Through decreasing hardware costs and novel areas of application, three-dimensional (3D) printing has become exceedingly popular in recent years. Starting with a project focused on public education about urban hydrology, we explored the use of 3D-printed landscape models in a number of regional applications. We also experimented with the use of 3D-printed city models to engage users through urban visualization. Our goal was to examine the role of…
Process Mining and Conformance Checking of Long Running Processes in the Context of Melanoma Surveillance
The presented time boxing enables the direct use of existing process mining frameworks like ProM to perform process-oriented analysis also with respect to time constraints between events
The Impact of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Parameters on an Urban Deprivation Index
Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a family of decision support methods that allow analysts to structure a decision problem through the selection and evaluation of multiple and often conflicting criteria, using established techniques to standardize, weight, and combine these criteria. Through a case study of an area-based deprivation index for the city of Toronto's 140 neighbourhoods, we examine the variability of MCDA results under diffe…

Spatial Patterns of Drug Use and Mental Health Outcomes Among High School Students in Ontario, Canada
The Role of Maps in Neighborhood-level Heat Vulnerability Assessment for the City of Toronto
Extreme hot weather is a threat to public health, and it is anticipated that the number of hot days and the duration of extreme heat events will increase with climate change. Already, heat-related illness and mortality is the dominant natural hazard in many countries. While everybody is at risk to varying degrees, there are known factors relating to heat exposure and sensitivity that make some population groups more vulnerable than others. The ob…
Online Map Design for Public-Health Decision Makers
Injury places a heavy burden on public-health resources that is not distributed evenly in space, making the mapping of injury and its socio-demographic risk factors an effective tool for prevention planning. In a survey of health-related interactive Web mapping applications we found great variation with respect to content, cartography, and technical aspects. Based on the survey results, input from a group of potential end users, cartographic desi…
