Firstly, I would like to begin by thanking Mr. Garvin Brown, for his generous support through the Susan Casey Brown Fund for McGill. This summer, I had the privilege of working as a Multilateral Policy Intern at the Permanent Mission of Canada to the International Organizations in Vienna, which advances Canada's multilateral engagement with a wide range of United Nations organizations and other multilateral bodies headquartered in the city. I was the Permanent Mission's intern responsible for supporting its diplomatic work on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), which formed the primary focus of my work, as well as on the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), and the Zangger Committee. The Vienna International Centre, which houses several United Nations and other international organizations. My time at the Permanent Mission offered an invaluable education in diplomacy in practice and brought me into rooms that, before the summer, I could scarcely have imagined

My time at the Permanent Mission of Canada to the International Organizations in Vienna (VPERM) allowed me to take what I had learned about international relations at McGill University and see theory translated into practice firsthand. I am incredibly grateful for the generous financial support provided by Ms. Gael Eakin through the Gael Eakin Canada Internship Award, as well as the David M. Culver Centre: Arts Internship Office’s partnership with Global Affairs Canada, through which this amazing opportunity became possible.

For context, my name is Rio Justice, and I am entering my fourth year at McGill University, pursuing a Joint Honours degree in Political Science and International Development Studies, with a minor in Gender, Sexuality, Feminist, and Social Justice Studies. My time at VPERM largely involved supporting Canada’s engagement and participation in the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA).

SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty ImagesThe government has declassified portions of a report on the resettlement of Nazi war criminals that reveal new details of how dozens of people, including those suspected of collaboration with the Third Reich, were helped to come to Canada after the Second World War through a secret CIA program. The newly declassified information sheds more light on the role American intelligence agencies played in facilitating the settlement of Nazi collaborators in Canada, in some cases by providing false identity papers. Sections of the report kept secret for decades also reveal new specifics about the number of people thought to have entered the country with U. S. covert help. The federal government Thursday declassified more of a 40-year-old report written by historian Alti Rodal for the 1985-86 Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals in Canada, headed by former Quebec judge Jules Deschênes.

Mayor and council signal strong support for Alberta remaining a province of Canada ahead of Oct. 19 referendum These were the words of Canmore Mayor Sean Krausert, who was backed by the rest of council in voicing strong support for Alberta remaining part of Canada ahead of the Oct. 19 referendum.

With Alberta’s October 19 referendum approaching, the electorate appears increasingly engaged, and increasingly decided. Our latest report finds that 70% of Albertans say the province should remain part of Canada, up from 65% in August. Another 22% would choose to have the Government of Alberta begin the legal process required to hold a binding referendum on separation, while just 7% remain undecided.
