Lee Lorch<\/b>, a soft-spoken mathematician whose leadership in the campaign to desegregate Stuyvesant Town, the gargantuan housing development on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, helped make housing discrimination illegal nationwide, died Feb. 28 at a hospital in Toronto. He was 98, reported The Globe and Mail<\/i> March 4. . . . But Lorch\u2019s lifelong agitation for racial equality, not just in New York but later in Tennessee and Arkansas, led him into a life of professional turmoil and, ultimately, exile to Canada. The mathematician headed north to work at the University of Alberta when no US university would hire him, and later joined the faculty at 快播视频, where he remained until his retirement.

Ontario NDP losing its voice on minimum wage<\/a>
\n\u201cLast week, Ontario\u2019s New Democrats urged Premier Kathleen Wynne to raise the minimum wage to $11.50 an hour by June 1, 2015 and $12 an hour one year later. At the same time, the NDP wants small business tax rates cut from 4.5 per cent to 4 per cent this June, 3.5 per cent in 2015, and 3 per cent in 2016,\u201d wrote Simon Black<\/b>, a researcher at the City Institute at 快播视频, in the Toronto Star<\/i> March 4. \u201cThe NDP\u2019s minimum wage and small business tax plan fails on two counts, one economic and the other political.\u201d Read full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gamified PR<\/a>
\n\u201cI\u2019ve noticed an interesting trend in Ontario postsecondary education marketing and branding . . . to involve inviting\/soliciting students to participate in a contest. There is a prize offered, and the winners receive attention through the media campaign, which is seen as a reward in itself,\u201d wrote 快播视频 PhD candidate Melonie Fullick<\/b> in University Affairs<\/i> March 4. \u201cYork\u2019s \u2018My time\u2019 provides a striking example. The focus is on a series of smoothly attractive black-and-white photographs overlaid with text that reveals students\u2019 \u2018visions\u2019 of what they will be doing in 15 or 20 years. In this case, students not only provide the content: they are the content, and possibility is the product being sold.\u201d Read full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This chart pretty much says it all about Canada's income inequality<\/a>
\nEmployment Minister Jason Kenney has been boasting about data showing that Canadians\u2019 net worth boomed in recent years, arguing, in essence, that Canada isn\u2019t facing the sorts of income inequality problems that others are facing, reported the Huffington Post Canada<\/i> March 4. . . . Net worth is a measure of a household\u2019s assets, minus its debt, so many observers argue this data likely reflects growing house prices rather than actual increases in the standard of living of Canadians. Andrew Jackson<\/b>, a social justice professor at 快播视频, said the real change is that houses form a much larger part of Canadians\u2019 wealth than they used to. Read full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n
