The Alberta government, through Premier Danielle Smith, recently announced a provincial referendum scheduled this fall. On Oct. 19, Albertans will be asked to vote on a range of government policy topics. Critics have referred to this as an “anti-immigrant” referendum,...
NAIT might get an Applied Artificial Intelligence Diploma. The full-time, two-year program was first brought to Academic Council before being approved by the Board of Governors. NAIT currently has a continuing education course, AI-Driven Project Management, but the...
Pride, by its very nature, is a protest. I have a vivid memory of visiting the Stonewall Museum in New York with my long-term partner. It’s small as far as museums go. There’s a bar on one side and a small atrium on the other. Historical photos featuring Marsha...
