Public health measures associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have accelerated the adoption of virtual health care across Canada. We explore the opportunities that virtual care presents in achieving the Quadruple Aim and challenges to navigate, through the lens of care for older adults. In particular, we recommend virtual care-related policies related to older adults that address (a) limited uptake among the socio-economically disadvantaged, (b) user-centered design of virtual care technologies, and (c) integration of iterative evaluations to ensure equitable and efficient achievement of desired outcomes. As virtual care accelerates forward, we must not leave older Canadians behind.

Scholars of the political left-right divide often see equality as the core issue of contention, with the left seeking greater equality than the right. Though partially agreeing with this consensus, I propose a modified left-right conceptualization that offers three novel contributions. First, while accepting the idea of a single fundamental dimension underlying conflict in global politics, I argue the key issue is not necessarily equality but rather the diffusion or concentration of power within and across nations, communities and individuals. Second, given the inescapable complexity of politics, I argue in favour of distinguishing between those who seek to de-concentrate power and broaden inclusion (the left) from those advocating for a concentration of power (the right) in specific issue domains. Third, I illustrate the utility of this “one dimension, multiple domains” theoretical framework through a comparative analysis of eight contemporary political parties across the domains of economic, foreign and social policy.

The purpose of this research was to investigate how informal caregivers of older adults cope with and negotiate driving safety when their loved one is no longer safe to drive. Fifteen informal caregivers of an older adult living at home took part in the present study. Participants cared for individuals with a range of health conditions that significantly impaired driving safety, including dementia, Parkinson’s disease, macular degeneration, and stroke. A thematic analysis of participants’ accounts identified the complex interpersonal, social, and organisational context they encountered when their loved one did not recognise or acknowledge limitations in their ability to drive. This analysis highlights the ethical dilemma at the heart of caregivers’ experiences and identifies stake and blame as key considerations in the development of sensitive and effective policies and practices.

Le mot «migrants» n'existait pas dans la langue des Hellènes; ils étaient plus familiers avec le vocable de l'exil et de l'asile. D'ailleurs, l'exil ne saurait se penser sans son corollaire, l'asile, comme le citoyen antique sans le barbare et la démocratie sans la tyrannie. À travers une métaphore située au carrefour de la fiction historique, de la philosophie politique et de la psychanalyse, cet article propose une réflexion sur l'exil comme condition fondamentale du sujet. L'exil est d'origine, car la langue de l'enfance, la langue dite maternelle est d'abord une langue étrangère. L'exil intime porte la marque d'une universalité qui fonde l'expérience subjective.

Supportive housing, including retirement homes and assisted living, is increasingly touted as a suitable living option for Canadian older adults. This scoping review describes the nature and content of studies that explore underlying factors that motivate older adults to relocate to supportive housing. We conducted a search of PubMed, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science, and PsycINFO, which identified 34 articles for review. Articles reviewed employed a variety of methods and guiding theoretical frameworks, of which the push and pull framework appeared to be most common. This review suggests that health and functional deficits are important reasons for relocation to supportive housing for older adults. Further longitudinal data are required to more comprehensively describe medical and social determinants for relocation and its consequences, in order to better describe this growing population and better align policies with the needs of older adults contemplating or undergoing relocation.

Novateur à plusieurs égards, l'ouvrage influent de Richard Bodéüs, Le philosophe et la cité, paru en 1982, propose notamment une réinterprétation de la notion complexe de phrónēsis. C'est dans cette foulée que se situe la présente contribution, dont l'objectif est d'analyser une de ses formes plus modeste, l’économie, dans sa partie qui implique le rapport avec les personnes non-libres. À la lumière des observations de Richard Bodéüs sur le commandement, les positions aristotéliciennes concernant la relation maître-esclave seront remises en perspective. Cette démarche conduira, en deuxième partie, à montrer l'extension de la notion servilité, plus large qu'on ne l'admet généralement, ce qui donnera à voir en quoi la nature humaine est esclave, selon le mot du Stagirite (Métaphysique A 2, 982b29-30).

La santé mentale ne se limite pas au seul champ de la psychiatrie, mais concerne autant tous les secteurs d’activité que la population générale elle-même.

Le champ des professionnels intervenant dans le champ de la santé mentale est cloisonné et dispersé. Organiser des niveaux cohérents de prise en charge, permettre la compréhension des troubles psychiques, fluidifier les parcours, lutter contre la stigmatisation, voici l’enjeu des conseils locaux de santé mentale (Clsm), exemple de démocratie sanitaire de territoire. C’est en effet un lieu de concertation et de coordination co-construit entre les élus locaux, la psychiatrie publique, les usagers, les aidants et tous les services sanitaires et sociaux. L’objectif est de définir en commun des politiques locales et des actions permettant l’amélioration de la santé mentale de la population.

La psychiatrie publique a un rôle essentiel mais pas unique, dans la participation pleine et active aux actions en faveur de la santé mentale des populations. C’est le changement de paradigme, passer des soins aux personnes aux actions de prévention pour un territoire pensé comme lieu de vie de citoyens. Le Clsm conduit les acteurs à penser une réponse collective aux problèmes de santé mentale, ce qui implique de :

– demander aux élus de piloter les actions pour leurs concitoyens;

– faire participer tous les acteurs (soins, social, éducation.) aux orientations de la politique locale de santé mentale;

– considérer l’hospitalisation comme une alternative aux soins dans la cité, en passant des services de psychiatrie publique hospitaliers, à des services territoriaux, organisant les soins au plus près des citoyens afin d’éviter les hospitalisations, par le déploiement systématique d’équipes mobiles et des hospitalisations à domicile;

– renforcer les actions de santé communautaire en reconnaissant l’expertise des usagers et leur participation effective et concrète à l’élaboration et à la mise en œuvre d’une politique de santé mentale.

Le tournant sensoriel en droit nous invite à vivre différemment le droit en reconnaissant la centralité de tous nos sens dans l’étude et la pratique d’une vocation qui nous appelle à la quête de sens. Il vise à renverser l’anesthésie générale qui afflige les études en droit, et en droit et société : la juridicité elle-même, c’est-à-dire l’essence du droit – les sens du droit – est une question sensorielle et sensuelle.

In this article I address the relationship between European archaeologists and the European Union and argue that the dominant attitude of non-involvement that archaeologists have embraced over the past decades cannot be justified given recent political developments. The European project finds itself in a state of deep crisis, under siege from populist and far-right leaders within and around Europe. We cannot afford to watch from the sidelines when the future of hundreds of millions of people is at stake. As archaeologists we can make a positive contribution by harnessing the political dimension of our work, which we need to stop seeing in a negative light. We should deploy the past to help tackle the challenges of our society. European archaeologists should particularly focus on developing grand narratives of a shared past in Europe, to act as a foundation for a European identity.

In this paper, Moroccan female migration to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is explored within the overall framework of Moroccan counter-terrorism policy. According to available data, Moroccans are considered as one of the main suppliers of fighters to ISIS. However, as it will be highlighted in this research, there is a scarcity of data related to Moroccan female migration to ISIS, to their sociodemographic profile, methods of their recruitment and programs of their reintegration once they come back home. This article focuses on Moroccan counter-terrorism policy and analyzes the extent to which it provides an exemplary precedent in effectively fighting terrorism. This policy includes, as will be examined, repressive and “soft” counter-radicalization and de-mobilization measures.

‘European archaeology’ is an ambiguous and contested rubric. Rooted in the political histories of European archaeology, it potentially unites an academic field and provides a basis for international collaboration and inclusion, but also creates essentialized identities and exclusionary discourses. This discussion article presents a range of views on what European archaeology is, where it comes from, and what it could be.

This article uses one case study to explore the use of criminal hate speech provisions against populist politicians. In a high-profile Finnish case, a populist politician was found guilty of hate speech after a four-year criminal process. Though the prosecution was ultimately successful, the various problems with the case helped boost the political popularity of the accused who was turned into a well-known public figure and member of Parliament. The case might thus be seen to warn against tackling populist politicians by means of criminal law. However, further analysis of the political context and a comparison with the Dutch prosecution against anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders complicate this conclusion. This article examines the consequences of hate speech prosecutions of politicians and sheds light on the conditions under which they can achieve (some of) their aims. The case also has lessons for other jurisdictions about when hate speech prosecutions of politicians are likely to be successful in terms of countering prejudice and disempowering those who spread it for electoral purposes.

The possibility of exploring ethnic identities in past societies constitutes one of the most controversial fields of archaeological research. However, the reassessment of the conceptualization of ethnicity in the human sciences and the increasing transference of these theories to archaeological research is helping to develop new analytical frameworks for the study of this problematic subject. From this perspective, the aim of this paper is to attempt a theoretical and methodological approach to the complex relationships between ethnic identity and material remains from the standpoint of Iron Age studies, showing both the possibilities and difficulties of archaeological research on ethnicity. For this period, the incipient availability of written evidence allows the development of new interdisciplinary research strategies. Finally, an introduction to practical work in this field is presented, specifically focusing on two case studies: Ruiz Zapatero and Álvarez-Sanchís' approach to the identity of the Vettones of the central Iberian Peninsula, and the author's own work on the Late Iron Age sanctuaries of the Middle Rhine-Moselle region.

Canada’s Aging Population by Susan McDaniel was the inaugural book in the Butterworths series on aging in the 1980s. It opened a “growth industry” in research on aging. Much more is known now about the processes, both individual and collective, that are part of aging. More reliable projections of future population can now be made. That said, myths and misunderstandings – particularly about the policy implications of population aging – persist. It seems that the same fears and anxieties occur again and again. The disconnect remains between our growing knowledge about population aging and media or policy responses.
