How much do internal medicine doctors make in Canada?
Net income among physicians varies widely. Figures in this article are based on data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (October 2021), and represent average gross clinical income before overhead, taxes and other expenses.
Internal medicine physicians in Canada earn an average of $464,759. Earnings vary by province, ranging from $546,288 in Alberta to $365,418 in Nova Scotia. There are currently 11,369 internal medicine doctors in Canada.
Take me to the income tables
Most internal medicine doctors are not paid a salary by an employer1 — they are paid using a fee-for-service model. When we talk about their income, we mean their gross income (also called gross clinical payment), which is the amount that the physician bills the government.
Self-employed physicians still need to pay their overhead expenses, such as rent, staff salaries, equipment and insurance; and their income tax.
Note that the average gross incomes in this article are for a "full-time equivalent" physician. This metric allows the earnings of part-time physicians to be counted in, on a pro rata basis.
What is internal medicine?
Internal medicine doctors diagnose and manage diseases of any of the organ systems in adults. Internal medicine is a broad-based specialty, and there are numerous subspecialties within it.
After medical school, it takes four years of residency to become an internal medicine doctor. Subspecialty training can be started after the three core years of internal medicine, and takes another two to three years.
Internal medicine income by province
The figures in the following tables are from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), published in October 2021 and based on 2019–2020 data.2
The figures are averages across all subspecialties of internal medicine, including cardiology and gastroenterology which are also reported as individual specialties.
Note that Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut are not included in the tables, as there were not enough data. In Prince Edward Island, there was only one cardiologist and three gastroenterologists, so there is no average reported for these subspecialties.
Internal medicine (all subspecialties) — gross annual income by province
Cardiology — gross annual income by province
Gastroenterology — gross annual income by province
1 Note that incorporated physicians can choose to have their medical professional corporation pay them a salary.

The Serie P No. 2 is made by hand of leaves carefully selected from the best tobacco plantations in the Vuelta Abajo area. This Piramides is one of the most sough after and highly appreciated sizes among the enthusiasts in the art of smoking.
Many compare this to the Monte #2. The only thing that I have found them to have in common is the shape. The Partagas is a more rustic cigar with an earhty punch to it. Being a Partagas, it has that rich tobacco flavor that appears across the whole brand.
The Monte is unique and this cigar is unique. I think one should try both to experience them. In my opinion, they are both great cigars, and to say thay one could replace the other is an injustice.
I really enjoy this cigar, as it is truly different from any other belicoso or torpedo out there. From the time you open the box and see the earthy red wrapper to the first smell of these cigars, you know that you are in for a treat. The cigar is certainly not overly powerful, but its earthy and woody character along with a great draw is pleasingly different and sets this cigar apart. A real pleasure to smoke and highly recommended if you want a truly different smoke.
The Partagas Serie P No 2 is now my favorite smoke on the planet. Picked one up at LCDH in Puerto Vallarta and was amazed. It was not the sunny beach day that I had hoped for, rather there was a tropical storm off shore raining on us. Fortunately, I found a nice covered sitting area at our resort and put this one to the test. Absolutely the smoothest, tastiest flavor I have experienced. It was a little tightly rolled, but did not detract from the taste. I immediately ordered a box from the best Habanos dealer (Lou's) when I got home.
Took me a while to fall in love with this cigar…always had them a little too green but once i learned to sit on a box for a few months and let them settle down…Wow. So Cuban, so Partagas. love the new tubes.
Well, it is always hard to fault a Partagas stick. This one proves to be no exception to the overall quality and value that this fine line has to offer. A beautifully constructed cigar, nice even burn, ashes a dark gray, full flavor without being harsh. I generally find that cubans offer me a dark chocolate taste that is appealing, this one was much more of the leather and wood flavors instead. When the box arrived (shipped to my office) I found my co-workers intriqued with this fine cigar and left to office with only 20 of the 25 remaining (there reveiws have been outstanding – "best cigar I have ever tasted", etc.). I am happy to have added this to my humidor and look forward to the flavors with a little aging.
These are a great smoke that I have smoked many of while traveling over the years. I havent had a bad smoke yet in this format. They are rich and so tasty. I like these better being a tad milder than the D4 but just as good. Highly Recomended!
This is a cigar that HAS to be tried. Since each persons taste is different you have to find out for yourself if this suits your taste. But, I will tell you this is the richest, most enjoyable smokes I have ever tried. The wrapper has a rough texture and the construction was solid for the entire box. The thing that really impresses me about this smoke is how it starts great and finishes with a flavor that will blow you away. Order this one and a box of serieD #4 and you will have a humidor of some of the finest cigars in the world.
This caramel colored torpedo had good weight to it and pre-light draw was perfect, with a sweet tobacco taste.
Post-light brought on some spice and cedar. As the smoke progressed, the spice mellowed out and then it was pure cedar and leather. I know it lists as a full-bodied smoke, but I considered this more of a medium-full. Didn't detect much change in the flavor, though the flavor and aroma remained nice through the whole experience.
Strong ash and a steady burn with a couple minor touch ups, but nothing major.
I know I shouldn't but I couldn't help myself… I had to try one as soon as I received the shipment from Cuban Lou's. I love he Monte 2 so was expecting a good smoke. I wasn't let down. The first draw before I'd lit up enticed me with aromatic tobacco and a tinge of vanilla, reminiscent of the Monte I already cherished. The draw was perfect. Spicieness increased once I got to the half way point, tasting like an entirely different cigar at the finish. I was very satisfied. A week later, after a week for the box to unwind in my humidor, I tried a second and found any slight roughness that might have been there the week earlier was already dissapating. It was even better.
I bought a box of these..25 firesticks that Thor himself would be proud to smoke. Now they were a bit dry..that may be more to do with my crappy humidor than CubanLous but needless to say that after replacing one crappy humidor for a less crappier one and a couple of days with some XIKAR solution they were ready to try…Full of flavor and a joy to behold. A solid smoke, couldnt fault the cigar….As I write this I want more….
Despite its young age, the SP #2 is fullbodied with lots of flavor and qualty. Burns well and with age will become even better.
friend pass me one from his sampler pack, find this to be a decent torpedo, feels nice in hand with its wide ring gauge, pleasant aroma overall, good volume of smoke, flavor was decent, but wasn't blown away by it. worth a try.
I've had the Montecristo #2 and in my opinion this one is just plain better. Richer in flavor and overall was just a pleasure to smoke. If I were to rate a Monte at 9.5, this Partagas P2 is most definitely an 11! Try it and see.
I have bought several varieties of cigars from Lou's and this is my favorite. Upon lighting , the taste hits instantly, a very smooth and mellow flavor. This lasts throughout your smoke. It is medium-full and lasts almost an hour. The ash stays strong on the cigar as you enjoy it. Great price for a wonderful cigar.

NEW YORK (AP) — Painter Man Stanley Philoche, a star within the New York artwork world, had needed to deal with himself to a elaborate watch after a massively profitable gallery present. Then the pandemic hit, and he feared for all of the struggling artists who haven't been so fortunate.
So he gave up his $15,000 Rolex goals and went on a distinct type of shopping for spree, placing out a name on Instagram in late March to any artist wherever who had creations to promote. The submissions rolled in, lots of at a time.
He's spent about $60,000 to date with plans to proceed so long as he can, and Philoche's personal patrons have taken discover and requested him to make purchases on their behalf as nicely.
"It's about artists serving to artists," stated the 43-year-old Philoche, who got here to America from Haiti along with his household at age 3, practically nothing to their names.
"I'm not a wealthy man," he stated, "however I owe a giant debt to the artwork world. Artwork saved my life, and I made a promise to myself that when I made it, to at all times purchase from artists who hadn't gotten their massive break."
Philoche has a price range, in search of out works within the $300 to $500 vary. He buys solely what he loves, from as distant as London and as shut because the studio subsequent to his in East Harlem. An summary mixed-media piece by Michael Shannon, his studio neighbor, was his first buy, main Philoche to incorporate him and others he's found in an upcoming group gallery present.
About half the artists Philoche has chosen are folks he is aware of, many in New York. The others despatched him direct messages on Instagram with pattern work in hopes of being picked.
Philoche, who went to artwork faculty in Connecticut the place his household settled, has lined the partitions of his tiny condo along with his Philoche Assortment Throughout Covid, starting from graffiti-inspired work and portraiture to pop artwork and an enormous pistol achieved in vivid yellow, purple and blue paint.
Philoche's personal work goes for as much as $125,000 a bit. Throughout a latest interview at his studio, he slid out from storage massive canvases from his breakthrough, Mark Rothko-esque summary Untitled Sequence and a set of feminine nudes with duct tape over their mouths. Typically whimsical, he has additionally produced work impressed by Monopoly and different board video games, in addition to comics comparable to Charlie Brown.
Amongst his shoppers: Deutsche Financial institution, Merrill Lynch and Barclay Investments Inc., together with Uma Thurman, George Clooney and fellow artist Julian Schnabel.
Giving again isn't one thing the affable Philoche only recently determined to do. Over his 20-plus 12 months profession, he has tried to stay to a easy rule to help different artists: Promote a portray, purchase a portray. Nevertheless it was an opportunity assembly with a good friend and fellow artist who was anxious concerning the pandemic with a child on the best way that set him on his pandemic shopping for spree.
"I'm not on the primary line, however my neighborhood was impacted as nicely," he stated. "It was simply the appropriate factor to do. I like waking up in my condo each morning seeing the partitions. There's work on the ground, throughout. A few of these folks have by no means bought a portray of their life."
His feisty French bulldog Picasso at his facet, Philoche recalled his personal meager begin in New York after he put himself by means of artwork faculty whereas working full-time as a bartender.
"Folks didn't open the doorways for me. I needed to get into the room by means of the again door, or by means of the window," he stated with amusing. "However now that I'm within the room, with a seat on the desk, I've to open doorways for these artists."

We recently introduced quick Reading, a novel, Bayesian adaptive method, to measure the reading speed vs print size function (Shepard et al, ARVO 2017; Lu et al, ARVO 2017). The precision of the method was assessed with the 68.2% half-width of credible interval (HWCI) of the estimated function from a single run of the procedure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the quick Reading method. Ten native English speakers (five well-practiced "experts" and five naïve observers) participated in a one-session experiment which contained five quick Reading blocks of 50 trials each in the periphery. We obtained one estimated reading function in each of the five blocks. Four metrics were computed to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the method. 1) Averaged across blocks, print sizes and observers, the SD was 0.03 and 0.07 log10 units for the expert and naïve observers, respectively. 2) The average HWCI of the estimated reading speed was 0.022 and 0.024 log10 units in the expert and naïve groups, respectively. 3) Because the reading speeds on each single reading function are constrained by its functional form, we applied a sampling procedure (Hou et al, 2016) to remove such constraint in assessing correlations between repeated measures of the reading function. The correlation coefficients were 0.98 for the expert group and 0.96 for the naïve group. 4) The area under the reading curve (AURC) was calculated. A one-way repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to examine changes in the AURC over the five repeated tests. We found no significant change in either group (expert: F (4,16) = 1.164, p=0.363; naïve: F (4,16) = 2.371, p=0.096.) Overall, we showed that the quick Reading method can achieve very high precision with 50 trials in peripheral vision.

Q: execv on a child process is keeping its parents process id in the new program instead of zero Program Description:
I am working on a program to help teach me about processes in C and Linux. The program uses fork to create a child process and then the parent and the child both print out a message a certain amount of times saying Parent Process, Child Process accordingly. To keep things from being scrambled the parent waits for the child process to print all it's messages. To make things even more interesting the child process uses execv to call another program that prints it's messages.
From what I've read on execv a new process is not started; the new process image overlays the original process image. So when the child process starts the new program the process id inside that new program should be the same as the childs process id which is zero.
Problem:
When I print out the child's process id before calling execv it is zero (as expected) but as soon as I get into the new program I print out the process id and it is the parents process id (but it should be the childs id).
Could anyone please explain why the new program does not have zero as the process id?
Arguments:

*

*Argv[1] = Number of times the message prints for the child process

*Argv[2] = Number of times the message prints for the parent process

*Argv[3] = Number of seconds waited after a message for the child process

*Argv[4] = Number of seconds waited after a message for the parent process

*Argv[5] = Message sent to the new program the child process starts (child processes message to be printed).

Initial Program:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int arg, char *argv[]) {

if(arg < 6) {

        default:
            sleep(Tp2);
            break;
    }
}

exit(37);
}

Example Output:

*

*With arguments as (5 3 1 1 "Hello From Child")

A: I think you are confusing the meaning of the return value of fork(). It actually never returns the pid of the running process, but either the pid of the freshly spawned child (from the parent's perspective) or 0, which is not a valid pid but an indicator to identify the child.
That return value is just a way to distinguish the two execution threads and for the parent to keep track which children have been spawned.

WASHINGTON - Scrambling for a swift deal on the $700 billion bailout for failing financial firms, key Democrats and Bush administration officials agreed Monday to include mortgage help for beleaguered homeowners but wrangled over other issues, including "golden parachutes" for executives who benefit from the unprecedented rescue.
Democrats demanded that the measure limit pay packages for executives of companies helped by the biggest financial rescue since the Great Depression. The administration was balking at that, and also at a proposal by Democrats to let judges rewrite mortgages to lower bankrupt homeowners' monthly payments.
President Bush prodded Congress during the day to pass the rescue plan quickly, declaring, "The whole world is watching."
Rep. Barney Frank, the House Financial Services Committee chairman, said the administration essentially had forced Congress to the negotiating table by creating an expectation in financial markets that a massive bailout was on the way.
"By the declaration that they made, by sending this proposal, I think we have to recognize the reality that we don't have a choice now of debating whether this is a good or a bad thing," said Frank, D-Mass, who was leading negotiations with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
"We have gotten closer," Frank said, but "We're not there yet."
Congressional aides said the House could act on a bailout bill as early as Wednesday, but leaders emerged from a closed-door meeting late Monday with no firm timetable for action.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said only that leaders were working to give the markets confidence that "this legislation will pass, and it will pass soon."
However, Wall Street wasn't comforted by the progress of the talks. The Dow Jones industrials plummeted 372 points, oil prices soared $25 a barrel at one point and gold prices surged anew as investors searched for a safe place to park their money. And despite encouraging talk on Capitol Hill, lawmakers on both the right and left were already assailing the deal-in-progress.
The Dow fell 372.75, or 3.27 percent, to 11,015.69. The retreat follows the Dow's best two-day point gain since March 2000 so some retrenchment, especially amid the anxiety on the Street, wasn't unexpected. But the decline erased a gain of nearly 370 points from Friday.
Broader stock indicators also tumbled. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 47.99, or 3.82 percent, to 1,207.09, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 94.92, or 4.17 percent, to 2,178.98.
The emergency legislation would give the government broad power to buy up devalued assets from troubled financial firms in a bid to unlock the flow of credit and stabilize badly shaken markets in the United States and around the globe.


GS Group at the CSTB.Telecom & Media-2018 exhibition presented their proprietary smart home system, based on a digital television set-top box. The solution is aimed at pay-TV operators and the first to install this system and offer services to their subscribers through it will be the major Russian digital TV operator, Tricolor TV.
The distinguishing feature of this new development is a platform which brings together the possibilities of a smart home with the apps and services of pay-TV. Using the digital TV set-top box as a hub to manage the smart home means the operator can minimise costs and speed up the launch of the product. The system can be customised for a specific customer both at a software and a hardware level. The configuration of this solution takes into account the possible development of peripherals, as well as the technology of content usage.
Elements of the smart home will be provided by ready-made sets configured to work in pre-set scenarios for various premises with the capacity to create their own scenarios. Installation and setting-up of the system is as simple as possible: it doesn't require from the user any specialist knowledge, and takes just a few minutes. The smart home can be managed through an on-screen menu on the TV using the remote control, and remotely through a special app from mobile devices.
The smart home has a high level of data protection against unauthorised access. The security system, based on a 128-bit AES algorithm ensures validation of the authenticity of any attached devices, the security of their interaction, supports and distributes network keys. The exchange of data between all devices is only carried out in encrypted form. When a user remotely accesses the system, in addition to the digital network traffic, certificates and tokens (electronic access keys) are used.
«The smart home system we have come up with means that we can make the smart automation of domestic electrical goods a truly mass-market phenomenon in Russia. It is simpler to install and cheaper than the solutions currently on the market. Operators can offer their clients additional innovative services which will be more and more in demand in the digital age, on terms which are attractive for the end user. The solution can be adapted flexibly to the individual requirements of the operator». – Andrey Bezrukov, Director for Strategic Projects and Communications, GS Group.
The full cycle of manufacture of the smart home system - from development to packaging - will unfold at the innovation cluster Technopolis GS (the investment project of the GS Group in Gusev, Kaliningrad oblast).

What kind of "communists" were elected in Graz?
When the Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) won the local elections in Graz, the country's second largest city, we did not hide our concern about the political orientation of the party. "The KPÖ is affiliated to the Party of the European Left, the political alliance which includes social democratic and opportunist forces, like Greece's SYRIZA, Germany's Die Linke and Spain's United Left", we wrote.
Eventually, the KPO and its Graz branch has received strong, but justified, critique by the Party of Labour (PdA) which was formed in 2013 by a Marxist-Leninist breakaway faction of the KPÖ who disagreed with the party's opportunist turn. According to the Party of Labour's chairman, Tibor Zenker, the KPÖ "is not a Marxist-Leninist party", while concepts such as class struggle, socialist revolution and communism are included neither in the rhetoric, nor in the activities, of the KPO ("Das dunkelrote Graz", zeitungderarbeit.at).

Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) wins local election in Graz
The Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) is the winner of the municipal election held on Sunday in the country's second-largest city, Graz.
According to preliminary results, the KPÖ came out on top on Sunday with 29% of the vote, ahead of the conservative Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) on 25.7%.
Communist candidate Elke Kahr told reporters that the magnitude of the municipal election result was "more than surprising". "Some people make promises a few weeks before the elections. We are there every day and for years for the people, especially for the poorest," she said.

Qatar has agreed to finance the restoration of the houses destroyed during the latest conflict in Gaza, the head of Hamas' political wing Ismail Haniyeh said in a statement on Friday.
According to unofficial estimates, more than a hundred houses were destroyed after Israel launched an operation against Islamic Jihad targets across Gaza.
Forty-nine Palestinians were killed and over 300 more were injured in Israel's military operation in the Gaza Strip last weekend, which also saw more than a thousand rockets fired by Islamic Jihad toward Israel.
In latest Gaza fighting, Israel contradicted its own strategy
Hamas' pragmatism creates a new partner for Israel
What happens in Gaza stays in Gaza, the world says
Israel says that the express purpose of the campaign has been to cripple Islamic Jihad, Gaza's second-largest militant group. Unlike in the last round of fighting, ruling party Hamas has so far chosen to sit out the conflict.
This is the sixth major escalation since 2007, when Hamas consolidated its control of the Gaza Strip and Israel tightened its blockade on the 2 million Palestinians in the coastal enclave.

Course "Complaints, Adverse Event Reporting, and Recalls - An Integrated Approach" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion.
Medical Device manufacturers operate in numerous regulatory systems that often have different requirements and are not always consistent. The new ISO 13485:2016 emphasizes this problem. Manufacturers must identify their roles, identify the regulatory requirements for that role, and incorporate them into the quality management system.
The various jurisdictions, however, deal with post-market device issues in many different ways. The quality management system, QMS, needs three interlocking process: complaint management, adverse event reporting, and recalls. These processes also have supporting QMS processes such as corrective action and design changes. Overarching the QMS processes are the regulatory requirements, usually involving record keeping and reporting. This workshop covers these primary and secondary QMS processes and analyzes them in terms of US, EU, and Canadian regulations.
To have an effective and efficient QMS you need to understand how to implement the related QMS processes. Developing the processes involves implementing best practices, but that doesn't necessarily meet all the regulatory requirements. With the introduction of ISO 13485:2016, the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP), and the new EU Medical Device Regulation, you will need to update your QMS and integrate all of the elements to assure an effective and compliant implementation. This workshop provides the tools you will need.

The number of secondary schools falling below the government's "floor standard" fell last year, but only after the results of some schools were excluded from the data.
In 2018, 346 schools were below the floor standard, equivalent to 11.6 per cent of state-funded mainstream schools, down from 365 schools, or 12 per cent, in 2017.
However, the government claims the figures are not comparable, because UTCs, FE colleges with 14 to 16 provision and studio schools were not included in the data in 2018.
New data also reveals that the gap in attainment between disadvantaged pupils and their better-off peers at secondary school grew by 0.6 per cent between 2017 and 2018. This is in contrast to the disadvantage gap at primary level, which narrowed by 3 per cent last year.
Andy Ratcliffe, CEO of Impetus-PEF, a charity focused on helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, said the figures show that disadvantaged young people "continue to be significantly less likely to achieve crucial GCSEs in English and maths than their better off peers".
Though the floor standards remain in place as a way for the government to measure school performance this year, as does the government's controversial "coasting schools" measure, failure to meet these standards will not prompt the same intervention as in previous years.
Last year, 257 schools, or 9.2 per cent of those nationally, were deemed to be "coasting", compared with 271 schools or 9.6 per cent in 2017.
Geoff Barton, the general secretary of the ASCL school leaders' union, has urged parents and governors not to "place too much weight" on performance tables, which "can never tell the full story of a school".
"The secondary school performance tables are inherently flawed in that the headline measure of progress 8 which is used to judge the performance of schools effectively penalises schools which have a high proportion of disadvantaged children," he said.
"The effect of this is to stigmatise these schools, making it more difficult to recruit headteachers and teachers and demoralising pupils, parents and communities.
What is the floor standard and coasting definition?
In 2018, a secondary school would have fallen below the floor standard if its progress 8 score was below -0.5 and the upper band of the 95 per cent confidence interval was below zero.
And a secondary would be deemed to be coasting if it had received an average progress 8 score of less than -0.2510 in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Yan Pei-Ming: You maintain a sense of balance in the midst of great success
Opening on May 14, 2007, David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Chinese artist Yan PeiMing, who divides his time between Shanghai, China and Dijon, France. In 2006, Yan Pei-Ming was the subject of a oneperson exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Saint-Étienne, France. He had solo exhibitions at the Shanghai Art Museum, Shanghai, China; Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangzhou, China (both 2005); Kunsthalle Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany (2004); Fils du Dragon, Portraits chinois, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Dijon, France; Portraits de Mao, Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'Archéologie, Besançon, France; and Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva, Switzerland (all 2003). The artist's many prestigious group exhibitions include The Unhomely, Phantom Scenes in Global Society, 2nd Biennale International of Contemporary Art, Seville, Spain (2006); A propos du Lingchi (supplice des cents morceaux), with Huang Yong-Ping, Musée Denon, Chalon-sur-Saône, France; Moi–Autoportraits du XXe siècle, Musée du Luxembourg, Paris, France (both 2004); New Zone–Chinese Art, Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, Poland (2003); the Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy (2003 and 1995); and Lyon Biennial, Lyon France (2000 and 1997). This will be Yan Pei-Ming's first exhibition in New York.
Best known for his larger-than-life self portraits, as well as paintings of political and cultural icons such as Mao Tse-Tung and Bruce Lee, Yan Pei-Ming has emerged in recent years as one of the most dynamic and experimental Chinese painters. Before moving from his native Shanghai to France in 1980, Yan Pei-Ming painted landscapes and portraits of peasant workers. Since then, his subjects have included anonymous figures, his father, Buddha, and a series of prostitutes, all concurrent with an on-going body of self-portraits. Although the genre of portraiture is not commonly encountered in Chinese art, it manifests with both Eastern and Western sensibilities in Yan Pei-Ming's works. His expressive style and controlled palette reflect a connection to the aesthetic and cultural climate of China as well as the influence of 20th-century American conceptual art. His canvases are typically mono- or bi-chromatic and painted with large brushes (sometimes a broom), in either black and white or deep shades of red. With a mastered economy of marks, he delineates his compositions with broad, sweeping gestures and visible drips, resulting in images that dissolve into near-abstraction at close view.

Cardinal Sins: How the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Crisis Changed Private Law
Moran, Mayo, Cardinal Sins: How the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Crisis Changed Private Law (January 1, 2019). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3373968
Even by the standards of the scandal plagued Catholic Church, 2018 was a very bad year. For several decades now, the unfolding of the Catholic Church sexual abuse crisis has been front-page news. It has wreaked havoc on hundreds of thousands of lives, cost the Church billions of dollars and done irreparable harm to a once-revered institution. Along the way it has also helped to transform the all-important private law of responsibility. When the crisis began to break in the early 1980s, the few victims who sought legal redress faced a daunting array of obstacles. Limitations periods alone had the effect of barring almost all child sexual abuse claims. Immunities helped to shield the Church from liability. Private law was generally hostile to institutional liability, particularly where the harm resulted from the criminal act of an individual. All of that has changed. Among the catalysts for change, the Catholic Church sex abuse crisis looms large. The scale of the crisis and the universal nature of the Church were certainly both important factors, but so too was the Church's response. From the initial impulse to cover up instances of abuse right through to choices made in the legal and political arenas, it appeared willing to do almost anything to protect itself, apparently regardless of the consequences. Yet the Church had traditionally benefited from special treatment precisely on the ground that it was not an ordinary self-interested legal actor. The tension between the Church's mission and its approach began to attract notice. Courts and legislators were prompted to act. Longstanding protections such as limitations periods and immunities began to fall. As the Church continued to aggressively defend itself in court, the accumulating precedents did not reflect well on it. The troubling continuity between how the Church treated initial allegations of abuse and how it handled the legal claims of survivors suggested an ethos that placed the preservation of the institution above the interests of the child. In this context, a broader idea of institutional liability started to seem important and even necessary. Changes in liability rules followed and the very idea of responsibility began to shift. Ironically, the Church's determination to protect itself at any cost brought about the very result it most feared. In the process, it also helped to work a dramatic transformation of private law.
Focus areas highlight the wide range of teaching, scholarship, programs and resources available at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in specific areas of legal study.
