• Welcoming "Joe Canadian" into our Living Rooms: the Spaces of Canadian Advertising

• Professional Development Issues in Canada
  The Canadian Issues Committee (CIC) was created by STC in 1990 because it was becoming apparent that Canadian technical communicators sometimes had unique concerns resulting from the political, legal and geographic constraints peculiar to Canada, of which STC was unaware. Identifying these concerns and attempting to do something about them has been an ongoing commitment of the STC staff and Board of Directors and of the CIC. This panel discussion allows for direct input from members regarding such concerns, and also provides an opportunity to inform the Canadian membership what has and is being done on their behalf.

• Franglais in Canada: Does It Facilitate or Impede Clear Expression?
  Pits the Pragmatic Many against the Snobbish Few in an attempt to discover what, if anything, Franglais contributes to clear expression. Is lexical and grammatical cross-pollination a sign of the type of dynamic evolution that enhances communication or a sign of a form of bastardization that impedes clear expression?
• What Makes a Text Canadian: The Citizenship of Its Author or the Culture-Specific Insight of Its Prose?
  Assigning nationality to a text is common practice — a method of categorizing a chaotic assembly of works into easily recognizable, and saleable, slots. The citizenship of an author is considered, by some, to be an adequate marker of the type of texts he or she creates. Yet the notion that Canadian authors produce 'Canadian' texts is problematic and restrictive. It presupposes a definitive Canadian culture on which the author may draw, an inability of the author to supersede his or her cultural inputs, and an acceptance that individual voices can speak for a diverse nation. So why do we gather unlike texts under the 'Canadian' umbrella? Unity is comforting, but diversity is reality in the realm of Canadian literature.
• Statement of Principles for the Management of Copyright in the Digital Environment
  As the twin technologies of computing and telecommunications revolutionize the way in which knowledge and information is recorded, accessed, disseminated and stored, the modes of communication among scholars and researchers are changing rapidly. But just as these technologies can make possible the wide dissemination of copyright material that may violate the rights of the owner, so the technology can be used to prevent reasonable and necessary access to knowledge. Such access is essential to the generation of new knowledge. If access to information for research, teaching and study purposes is constrained, Canada's long-term economic and cultural growth will be hobbled.
• Your Rights When Being Interviewed
  Journalists are bound by federal and provincial laws on privacy, trespassing and defamation. They also have to follow a set of journalistic ethics and codes.
