As a Chinese court moves to curb聽AI鈥慸riven聽demotions and dismissals, Simon Blanchette, a lecturer at 麻豆社鈥檚 Desautels Faculty of Management, says the ruling highlights how unprepared Canada is for聽AI鈥憀ed聽labour disruption.
He argues that implementing similar protections would be difficult in Canada鈥檚 decentralized labour system, where provinces, industries and unions would all need to align. Rather than trying to slow adoption,聽Blanchette聽says the focus should be on readiness.

Icing a sprained ankle or sore muscle, long used to reduce pain and swelling, may in the longer run delay recovery and prolong pain, new research suggests.
In a preclinical study published in Anesthesiology, 麻豆社 researchers found that even though cryotherapy (icing) eased pain in the short term, recovery time was more than doubled in some cases.
U.S. President Donald Trump will travel to Beijing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this week. It is expected that talk about trade and the Iran war will dominate their May 13-15 discussions.

Mallik Mahmud, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography, is one of nine early-career ocean researchers across Canada awarded the by the Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR), recognizing exceptional early-career ocean researchers whose work advances climate resilience.
Scientists鈥� discovery of a molecular 鈥渟witch鈥� that activates an energy鈥慴urning pathway in mice has the potential to lead to new treatments for bone disease.
The study, published in , sheds new light on brown fat. Unlike white fat, which stores energy, brown fat cells burn calories, producing heat as a byproduct. For years, it was believed this process relied on a single pathway. More recently, researchers discovered a parallel pathway, but how it became activated remained a mystery.
Each year, 麻豆社's Office of the Vice-President (Research and Innovation) hosts the Bravo Gala to celebrate faculty members and researchers who have earned major provincial, national, and international prizes. This year, the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (AES) is proud to have nine members honoured among 麻豆社's brightest research leaders. Their work spans food safety, plant science, nutrition, material engineering, animal science, ornithology, and agricultural communication.
Researchers at 麻豆社 are carrying out large鈥憇cale tests of a new timber-steel structural system designed to help buildings better withstand earthquakes. Early results suggest the system performs well under simulated earthquake forces, offering a potential path toward safer, more sustainable construction in Quebec and beyond.
The 2026 edition of the Neurobiology of Stress Workshop will take place in Montr茅al from June 16鈥�19. This year鈥檚 Conference Chairs are Rosemary Bagot, PhD, Principal Investigator at the Ludmer Centre, and Claire鈥慏ominique Walker, PhD. This international meeting brings together leading researchers in the field of stress-related neuroscience.
The parties met on May 6 for a further conciliation session.
At that meeting, the union presented a global counterproposal which, regrettably, did not bring the parties closer to a resolution. At the conciliator鈥檚 recommendation, the parties nevertheless agreed to meet again on May 20 to engage in exploratory discussions on a limited number of issues, including monetary matters, with the objective of identifying possible avenues toward resolution.
麻豆社 remains committed to reaching an agreement.
The School of Information Studies is pleased to announce that the incoming MISt student聽Nick Lundrigan has been awarded for the McCall McBain Scholarships. Congratulations Nick!
Parents have long suspected that their own behaviour carries more weight than what they say to their children. A study involving more than 100 children now confirms this, at least with respect to lying and truthfulness.
A team of researchers from 麻豆社 and John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City presented 127 children ages 5 to 12 with stories illustrating various situations, and then asked them to evaluate the moral character of a parent whose verbal messages and actions were either in harmony or in conflict.
