Continued from page 1Mini-satellitesry. There is a growing demand for the mini-satellites that are manufactured there, which range in price from $600,000 to $3 million.

The project was born in 1998, involving micro- and nano-space technology, which con-sists of the construction of small spacecraft, often no larger than the size of the luggage used by the common traveler, and serve such varied purposes as ship tracking, telecommunications, and astronomy missions.

Grant Bonin, a project man-ager of U of T’s Space Flight Laboratory (SFL), explains that lab is largely vertically inte-grated, and can develop these mini-satellites as “end to end missions.”

This new type of spacecraft is revolutionary because these small spacecraft can accom-

plish most of what bigger space-craft can, but at a fraction of the price.

Mr. Bonin also noted that mini-satellites are much faster and more effi cient than the larger satellites, so a rewarding component of this technology for the engineers themselves is that they can see the results of their work in space in their life-time, a chance often missed due to implementation and travel time of larger projects.

The SFL is already anticipat-ing new customers and plan-ning future projects and mis-sions. There are around a dozen spacecraft in various stages of development right now, includ-ing a development concept to provide Internet access for Ant-arctica.

Continued from page 1Facebookwith the outrage the anger the in-cident has caused, but doesn’t think that Baggiarini should take the fall.“That’s the exact thing we hear from tenured faculty, from de-partment heads, from deans, from senior administrators, it’s this … continuous disparaging attitude to-ward undergraduates on campus,’’ says Rollmann.

Rollmann thinks this incident is symptomatic of a much bigger is-sue. “It’s a much wider and more systemic problem of respect on campus, and in many ways it just refl ects the same attitude and com-ments many tenured faculty and senior administrators encourage.”Teaching assistants offi cially work 10 hours per week, but usually end up working twice as much. Still, long hours and diffi cult work do not excuse public ridicule, says Rollmann. “It’s just not nice. I don’t like insulting people publicly. I think, anyone could read this.’’

Baggiarini has since apologized for her faux-pas, and continues to work as a teaching assistant at York. As of Monday, Baggiarini’s case was still under review by the university’s Department of Sociol-ogy.

the youth of this nation should have a rite of passage: that they have under their bed a pair of boots dirtied with the mud of countries in development.”

As commander of the UN peacekeeping mission in Rwan-da in 1994, Dallaire had re-quested additional troops and a more forceful mandate to inter-vene and prevent the genocide, but these were denied, with tragic results. Over the next four months, 700,000 minority Tut-sis were slaughtered by ethnic Hutus, who also killed 100,000 of their own people for being too conciliatory toward Tutsis. Dal-laire disobeyed orders from his political superiors not to place his peacekeepers in harm’s way, and concentrated his troops in areas in and around the capi-tal city of Kigali where he knew Tutsis to be hiding.

“He was my boss, and this was a legal order,” he said, re-ferring to his instructions from UN headquarters to withdraw. “Although it was legal, it was also immoral. Better to stand a court martial than add 30,000 more bodies” to the death toll. Dallaire said the international community’s failure to act in Rwanda, and subsequently in the Congo and Darfur, is unfor-giveable: “the rest of humanity just watched and let it happen, actually let a planned genocide happen.”

He also criticized the UN’s

Continued from page 1Dallaire

decision to intervene in the for-mer Yugoslavia, and not take stronger action in Rwanda. “How is it,” he asked, “that in 1994 I could barely keep 2,600 troops in Rwanda where more people were killed and raped than in six years in Yugoslavia? Why did we go into Yugoslavia and pull out of Rwanda? Are all humans human, or are some more human than others?” Dal-laire described his experience in Rwanda in the award-winning 2003 book, Shake Hands With the Devil: the Failure of Hu-manity in Rwanda, made into a movie of the same name.

His most recent book, They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children, focuses on the conscription of child soldiers. At the end of the war in Rwan-da, Dallaire recalled that a pa-trol under his command had found a group of Hutus taking refuge in a church when they were fl anked by children armed with AK-47s. “What does the sergeant do then?” Dallaire asked. “Keep in mind he only has milliseconds” to react. “Do you kill children who kill? Chil-dren who have been drugged up and indoctrinated. Is it the an-swer to kill them to protect the others?”

Dallaire argues students are uniquely suited to make a differ-

ence in the world, but that they should pay greater attention to the developing world. Abandon your plans for a Euro trip, Dal-laire advises, and spend time in an underdeveloped country to get a sense of the problems affl icting humanity. “Don’t go to Paris or London, go to Kin-shasa, parts of South America, so you can see, hear, feel what is going on to 80% of humanity, and bring it back here.”

Dallaire encouraged students to join non-governmental orga-nizations, or even to create their own like Marily Ize-Dutuze, a student born in Burundi who broke down in tears thanking Dallaire for work in Rwanda. Ize-Dutuze, a York student who lost several family members in the genocide, founded Green Hope for Children, a non-profi t agency that aids child victims of war.

Speaking to the newspaper after his lecture, Dallaire criti-cized the Harper government’s foreign policy. In Libya, he said, Canadian policy has been “late, inept, and hedging its bets.” He also rebuked the government for failing to win a seat on the UN Security Council last Oc-tober. Canada could have used this seat to act as a bridge be-tween the great powers and the developing world.

Nuclear energy: is it a force for good?

You decide which argument smoked the other. Visit thenewspaper.ca and vote in the poll at the bottom of this article!

JAMAIAS DACOSTA

Nuclear power a force for good? That, dear read-ers, is preposterous. With the slightest of acci-dents resulting from either human and or me-chanical error, or as we have recently witnessed in Fukushima, natural disaster, surrounding areas become contaminated with highly toxic, cancer-causing radiation and can remain in ecosystems for as long as twenty four thousand years.

According to critics, the nuclear industry has developed its technology based on “low probabil-ity”. Basically, nuclear power has developed on the speculation that the likelihood of an accident is minimal. Despite the fact that the stakes are astronomical, the nuclear industry has rational-ized proliferation of nuclear power based on what nuclear scientists consider low odds.

Just what are the odds? Let’s look at the facts. Since the emergence of nuclear power in the late 1950s, there have been approximately 100 nu-clear power plant accidents, which have resulted in loss of life, cost millions of dollars and leaked radiation into ecosystems that will be around for thousands of years. It is impossible to quantify the loss of life, because one of the tricky truths about nuclear radiation is that most related deaths are not immediate. Cancer, which is the leading ill-ness related to radioactive contamination, takes its time with many of its victims.

There have been some approximate guesses for the 1986 Chernobyl incident, and according to a 2006 study by Greenpeace International, the death toll will reach at least 200,000. The areas affected include surrounding countries in Europe and Asia, and several million people are still liv-ing in contaminated areas. Scientists continue to discover the long-term effects of living in a ra-dioactive ecosystem. In a 2006 article published by The Observer, generations have been effected with low birth rates, high birth defects and rare illnesses are rampant. According to one senior doctor at a Belarus hospital, “one in four babies in the region is born healthy” twenty years later.

Following the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan two weeks ago, radioactive iodine has been found in the tap water in Tokyo, approxi-mately 300 kilometers from Fukushima where the nuclear reactors are situated. The problem with radioactive iodine is that it is immediately absorbed by the thyroid, and has caused thyroid cancer throughout the surrounding area of Cher-nobyl. Another concern for people in Japan is Caesium-137 which is, according to nuclear ana-lyst Shawn Patrick Stencil, the “principle source of radiation in the zone of alienation around the Chernobyl plant” and is a long lived radio isotope that can stick around for up to 300 years.

It cannot be debated that there are some helpful technologies that have emerged from nuclear de-velopment, such as medical isotopes and house-hold fi re alarms. The question is whether or not nuclear power is a force for good in the world. My opponent may suggest that these technologies, combined with the lack of fossil fuels associated with it, are examples of how nuclear energy is a force for good. However, upon closer examina-tion, it becomes evident that the high risks and irreparable damage associated with accidents and malfunctions raise a multitude of ethical ques-tions and concerns about nuclear power.

The con

GLEN BRAZIER

If you were to look up nuclear technology in Wikipedia, the image that appears next to the introduction may surprise you, since it is not an image of, say, a power plant or an atom bomb, but a common, every day smoke detec-tor. That’s right, there is a small amount of radioactive material inside each of those little disks above our heads. It’s a factoid that helps bring home the point that nuclear technology is a far more widespread part of our everyday lives than it may seem because of the narrowness of the debate on nuclear energy.

Nuclear technology is in use all around us. A good amount of the world’s food is produced more effi ciently --and thus more cheaply-- be-cause of it; the lifesaving power of medical im-aging and radiation therapy relies on it. Nuclear technology is involved in everything from cos-metics to contact lens cleanser to disposable di-apers. Nuclear is so commonplace and crucial to modern life that it is worthwhile to try and imagine life without it.

The nuclear crisis in Japan has given new political legs to all those who would rather we put an end to nuclear. And the world over, from China to Germany, nuclear energy projects are screeching to a halt. Here in Canada, support for the closure of a nuclear energy plant in Que-bec is broadening.

But with the homes and livelihoods of so many in Japan under threat today, and the stunning images of the earthquake and tsunami still fresh in mind, now is not the best moment for sober and prudent policy-making. What the Japanese experience ought to remind us is that like many forces, nuclear is one force humanity has yet to properly corral.

Humans have always had to learn over time --and often through disasters and death-- how to safely harness the technologies we develop, or those that the environment gives us. Heck, we’re still trying to fi gure out how best to har-ness the power of the wind for energy purpos-es.

Ultimately, nuclear is just another phenome-non humans have stumbled upon along the long road of history, and it can bring about situations both triumphant and tragic. However, on bal-ance, given its inextricable integration into our way of life, nuclear has to be a force for good, despite its risks.

It’s never been humanity’s way to shrink from risks. Throughout human history the world has been a tough place to live, and just when you’ve got it all fi gured out, a natural disaster could strike and wipe it all away. Nevertheless we’ve soldiered on. Most of our actions, on a large and small scale, entail some measure of risk. So it’s been our ability to manage risk, to fi nd ways to defend against--not avoid-- the worst the world can dish out, that has allowed us to progress as far as we have. Nuclear is clearly another pow-erful tool for us to use in that struggle.

I wish that Toronto had a festival like SXSW. CMW is close, and NXNE is closer, but nothing we have can compare, and how can it? Our restrictive liquor laws would never allow for the impro-vised venue-conversion of so many spaces. It is a festival patched together from the city’s spare parts; churches, parking garages, empty lots and vacant commercial spaces. The entire downtown

is transformed--every cranny exploited. The event is both utterly well organized and completely spontaneous. Crowds shift in sec-onds. Lines form out of nowhere, and it feels like it could descend into chaos at any moment. Sometimes it does, that’s what makes SXSW so damn fun, but that’s also why it will never happen in Toronto. We don’t have the balls.

Canadian collaboration

SUZIE BALABUCH

This weekend, on Sunday March 27, Toronto will host the Junos for their 40th anniversary show at the Air Canada Centre. These days, Ca-nadian artists like Drake (who will be hosting) and Justin Bieber are among those nominated for awards in their home country and abroad. What some people, even some Ca-nadians, don’t realize is that apart from the stadium-selling pop acts, Canada possesses some of the best musical talent in the world.

Running from March 20 to 26, TIFF Bell Lightbox is putting on a series called The JUNO Awards at 40: Celebrating Canadian Mu-sic on Film, celebrating Canadian music through seven infl uential “music-themed” movies. Each fi lm will be introduced by a famous Ca-nadian with either a spoken preface or a musical performance.

Shane Smith, Director of Pro-gramming at TIFF Bell Lightbox, was fi rst pitched the idea by Steve Cranwell, the Executive Director of MusiCounts, a charity affi liated with the Junos.“It was a great fi t to support the Junos being back in Toronto for their 40th anniver-sary.”

MusiCounts works toward the goal of keeping music in schools in order to afford children the abun-dance of opportunities that come with music education. Proceeds of various Juno-related events and products, like the 40th anniversary book Music From Far and Wide go to the charity.

In order to pick the fi lms that would strike the right chord with viewers, Smith and Cranwell chose to present a medley. “Steve and I went back and forth on titles until we ended up with a programme

In the past year, one of Canada’s favourite new musicians, Leslie Feist, has released a fi lm chroni-cling her music and career, reach-ing back to 2007 when her album The Reminder made waves in Can-ada and abroad. Her movie, Look At What The Light Did Now, was screened on Monday night, with an introduction by Stuart Berman, au-thor of This Book is Broken, a book on the Canadian indie darlings Broken Social Scene, which are also featured in the week-long series.

The series is a refl ection of the talented, eclectic and hardworking nature of both the Canadian music and fi lm industries. Anvil! The Sto-ry of Anvil is probably one of the funniest, yet most touching fi lms in the series, as it follows the ups and downs of one the world’s most under-rated metal bands.

Smith himself would be hard-pressed to choose a favourite fi lm among the series, but he does have a few recommendations. “Hard Core Logo is a classic of course- I can never see that fi lm enough. But I’m also excited about the Toronto premiere of Music From the Big House- that fi lm is not only go-ing to look and sound amazing on screen, but will touch you emotion-ally and show what a powerhouse Rita Chirelli is.”

The series wraps up just like it started; namely, with a movie about an iconic Canadian musi-cian and poet. Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man embodies the spirit of Canadian music: quirky, talented, and timeless. Take Smith’s advice on this unique series, and “don’t miss it.”

For more information and tick-ets, go to www.tiff.net. Student tickets cost $9.50 with valid stu-dent ID.

that we thought contained ‘classics’ but also new or under-seen fi lms that audiences would enjoy seeing- particularly on the big screen.”

The movie that kicked off the se-ries on March 20 was none other than Neil Young: Heart of Gold. Al-though the legendary musician has enjoyed an international career, he has always retained his Canadian roots. At this year’s Juno Awards, Neil Young will be honoured with the 2011 Allan Waters Humanitar-

ian Award for his philanthropic work with Farm Aid and Live 8, among many other efforts over his decades-long career.

With iconic Canadian artists like this, it was hard for Smith and Cranwell to choose which movies they would screen.

“We had so many amazing fi lms to choose from - Canada does liter-ally rock! - that we went from one screening per night to 2 and still couldn’t fi t in everything we would

have liked to,” says Smith.According to Smith, Canadian

music and Canadian fi lm are inter-twined, and this union should be celebrated. “Canadian music and Canadian fi lm have always had a close relationship and that’s only going to grow and evolve. Particu-larly with fi lmmakers like Bruce McDonald, who is a huge music fan (with 3 fi lms in this programme!), making music-focused fi lms.”

Canadian film The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom features Dolly Parton in its story and music

Dolly’s daughter

SUZIE BALABUCH

In the stark prairie landscape of Mani-toba, an eleven year old girl sets off on a journey of self-discovery, and the search for her biological mother. The catch is, the girl, Elizabeth (Julia Stone) is con-vinced that her mom is her idol, country darling Dolly Parton.

The intriguing thing about this feature debut film is that when writer/director Tara Johns first came up with the idea, she never thought that she would be able to secure the rights to Ms. Parton’s music, or even be able to tell the country singer of her plans to make a movie wherein she would play an idolized maternal figure to a little Canadian girl.

Dolly Parton was reportedly so flat-tered upon hearing about The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom, that she not only gave permission to use her musical cata-logue on the soundtrack, but also lent her voice to two narrative segments in the movie itself.

The soundtrack is a melancholy, albeit quite lovely compilation of Dolly Parton’s music as performed by her and also vari-ous Canadian artists, and a moseying, road-tripesque score arranged by Cana-dian composer Luc Sicard.

The soundtrack opens with the clear, sparrow soprano voice of the “Queen of Country Music” herself in the 70s classic Love is Like a Butterfly. Since Tara Johns set her film in the 1970s, she could not have picked a better musician to model her film, and entire soundtrack on. This decade was the time when Dolly Parton was on an identity search of her own, try-ing to branch out into pop music.

The interspersing of Sicard’s score is at once contrasting and complimentary to the vocal renditions of Parton’s music. His pieces feature a blend of guitar, pia-no, banjo, ukulele, drums, bass, mando-lin, lap steel, and many more instruments that are prominent in Parton’s music (and some of which he plays himself.)

His pieces, in particular Crossing Bor-ders, enhance the movie’s journey ele-ment with their subtle touches of mando-lin, guitar and banjo, paired sometimes with a driving, yet soft percussion that lends a gentle sense of urgency to the music.

The album also features covers of Dolly Parton’s music by such Canadian artists as Martha Wainwright, Coral Egan, the Wailin’ Jennys and Nelly Furtado. Wain-wright’s rendition of the heartwrenching Do I Ever Cross Your Mind is particu-larly memorable because it speaks to the longing and confusion an adopted child like Elizabeth could have in terms of her roots.

Possibly the most stunning piece on the album is the Wailin’ Jennys’ cover of Light of a Clear Blue Morning, with sumptuous harmonies delivered the group, and homage paid to the sweet so-prano range of the song’s original singer. This piece is also the most hopeful of the

lot, a stark and necessary contrast to the rest of the lovely, yet quite despondent album content.

This editor must admit at feeling a bit apprehensive upon hearing that a group of Canadian musicians would be cover-ing Parton’s music, but the end result is a wistful and emotional accompaniment to that particular time in life when one can see the end of childhood on the horizon.
