Checking In: Former Canadian Studies Program Manager Elliott Smith Weighs Anchor on an Exciting New Career
Former Canadian Studies Program manager Elliott Smith has made some surprising professional moves in recent months – what one might even call a “sea-change”. Since leaving UC Berkeley last spring, Elliott has swapped the life of a land-lubber for a maritime existence in the US Merchant Marine. We caught up with him for a brief chat before he embarks on his new career. Please join us in wishing him good luck and smooth sailing!
“After 15 years working in higher education at Western Washington and Berkeley, I made a career switch. I used my downtime during the pandemic to acquire a United States Merchant Mariner Credential. I am going into the maritime industry. I recently passed tests for shipboard firefighting and ocean survival skills, and completed the final basic training steps necessary to work aboard ships sailing internationally.
“One of the things I most enjoyed about working for Canadian Studies at Cal was the ‘always be learning’ mentality cultivated by Professor Bloemraad. I plan to take that spirit into my new industry, and will keep the Canadian Studies community updated on my career growth and development. As a Seattle-based international mariner, I will almost certainly be assigned to the ‘inside passage’ route through British Columbia into Alaska often. I will make sure to share pictures with the Canadian Studies community of beautiful British Columbia whenever I can!”

Raising the Minimum Wage Won’t Cost Jobs, Says Canadian Studies Affiliate Economist David Card
A recent Berkeley News article asked several distinguished faculty economists about proposals to raise the US minimum wage to $15 – among them, Canadian Studies affiliate David Card. In 1993, Professor Card was one of the first to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy that increasing the minimum wage would lead to widespread job loss. Citing data from a study he did of New Jersey, Card found that not only was there no job loss when the state raised the minimum wage, in some cases employment even rose.
Card’s conclusions drew fierce criticism at the time, but are today increasingly accepted by a new generation of economists, including Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman. However, Card says that the field has been slow to change, and that the current debate is rooted in dated theories: “{Economists} want to hold on to these models, even though they know full well that there are problems with them.”
Upcoming Event
Panel Discussion: The Canadian Healthcare System: A Model for the US?
April 6 | 12:30 p.m. | RSVP here
Most Canadians are proud of their national healthcare system, widely considered one of the best in the world. But when it comes to US healthcare reform, the Canadian example is much more divisive. A growing number of Americans view Canada as a model for a potential US single-payer system. However, for many others a “Canadian” system conjures images of long waits and rationing. Join Canadian Studies for a special panel exploring how Canada’s healthcare system really works, and why its perception in the US is so polarized.
Gregory Marchildon is a professor of comparative healthcare at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto. He specializes in Canada’s healthcare system and has written extensively on comparative policy.
Amanda Aronczyk is a journalist and co-host of the NPR show Planet Money. Her 2020 episode “Frame Canada” investigated the US insurance lobby’s long-running PR campaign to block major healthcare reform by discrediting Canada’s healthcare system.
Daniel Béland is the director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada and James McGill Professor in the Department of Political Science at McGill University. He studies social policy and health care reform, and their relationship to fiscal policy.

An “Unprecedented” Big Give – Thanks to You!
Canadian Studies is thrilled to announce that this year’s Big Give was our most successful of all time. Tabulation is ongoing, but early results show that we raised at least $65,800. That’s more than most departments at Berkeley – pretty impressive for a small program!
At a time when private philanthropy is more crucial than ever for programs like ours, you support sends a strong message to the university about the value of Canadian Studies. We’re incredibly grateful for your support. Look out for new efforts to support and share our research, knowledge, and events in the coming months!
Call for Nominations: ACSUS Awards
The ACSUS Awards Committee invites you to submit your nominations for the following awards. These awards aim to encourage new scholars in Canadian Studies in the United States. Details on the awards and the submission deadlines are provided below.

St. Patrick’s Day Revelers Get Creative in Quebec
For the second year in a row, the COVID-19 pandemic has cancelled St. Patrick’s Day festivities across Canada, including Montreal’s traditional parade. However, that’s not stopping a group of determined Quebeckers. Although only 5% of the provinces’ inhabitants identify as Irish, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations are a cherished tradition for many. CBC News reports on how groups across the province are adapting to the times with small – and safe – alternatives to the traditional public parties.

Prince Edward Islanders Celebrate Irish Roots
On Prince Edward Island, a family connection to Ireland is never far away: about 30% of residents trace their ancestry to the Emerald Isle. Many Irish people came to Canada to escape grinding poverty at home, particularly during the Great Famine of 1845-1852. Today, many Islanders are proud of their Irish roots. CBC News reported on the story of once such immigrant family, the McKennas, as told by a 21st-century descendant.

Dear Michael,
Today, Canadian Studies is taking part in Big Give, Berkeley’s annual day of giving. As a donor-supported program, we rely on your generosity to advance our mission of promoting knowledge of Canada and its people: 76% of our budget comes from private philanthropy. Below, you’ll see examples of some of the ways we put your donations to work, from providing free public events to supporting students and research on Canada. I hope you’ll join us by making a gift of a size that feels comfortable to help us continue this important work.
Irene Bloemraad
Program Director
Barnes Chair in Canadian Studies
Read this before you give: you could help us win a big prize!
Throughout the day, the university will be running special timed contests with thousands of dollars in prizes for winning units. Your gift of any size could enter us to win if your name is randomly selected during the contest period – just see which group you fall into below and make your gift during the contest window. It’s that easy!
  • Anyone: Sign up for a recurring gift ($1,500)
  • Berkeley alumni: Donate between 10 a.m. and noon PT ($1,500)
  • Non-alumni: Donate between 9-11 a.m. PT ($1,500)
Canadian Studies has a big impact on students!
Whether through our graduate Hildebrand Fellowships or undergraduate Ross Prize, Canadian Studies is committed to supporting Berkeley students conducting research on Canada. We’re proud to sponsor these young scholars as they engage in world-class research projects; past Hildebrand Fellows have gone on to academic appointments with schools including Yale, the University of Windsor, and Middlebury College. Read below to find out what participants have to say about the program!
“The funding that I received {from Canadian Studies} was really pivotal to my research. Admittedly, the work that I proposed was pretty ambitious (and expensive). So the Canadian Studies Program being willing to step up and put some resources on the table for me to actually get started was really key. I’m very grateful for that.”
– Dr. Daniel Suarez, 2012 Hildebrand Fellow and assistant professor of environmental studies at Middlebury College
“Knowing that Canadian Studies was here made me feel confident that I could keep my connection to Canadian scholarship… It was actually a major draw in deciding to come to Berkeley! I also appreciated the way that Canadian Studies works hard to integrate graduate students by giving us opportunities to share our research and practice presenting our work in a supportive environment.”
– Dr. Julia Lewandoski, 2016 Hildebrand Fellow and assistant professor of history at Cal State San Marcos
“Canadian Studies creates a community for those interested in just about anything related to it. After all – as someone who has lived in both Canada and the US – both countries are intricately tied together in just about every way. It was very affirming to know there is a community on campus interested in this work!”
– Evan Walsh, 2017 Ross Prize winner
After much delay, current Hildebrand Fellow Mindy Price leaves for Canada next month! An environmental sociologist and political ecologist, her research focuses on indigenous food sovereignty and the effects of climate change on agriculture in the far north. Mindy’s grant will cover her research expenses as she studies agriculture in the Northwester Territories, and how government programs interact with Indigenous sovereignty claims. (Don’t worry – we’ll also cover her COVID quarantine and other safety precautions.)
Canadian Studies supports research!
This year, Canadian Studies welcomed our first-ever full time research associate. Dr. Rebecca Wallace, a political scientist specializing in immigration and minority issues, recently joined the program a John A. Sproul Research Fellow. Dr. Wallace will assist program director Irene Bloemraad in analyzing data on attitudes toward immigrants in Canada and the United States. The project measures the effectiveness on public opinion of appeals made by immigrants and their advocates to different kinds of rights.
Here’s what our supporters have to say about the program:
“I’m very impressed with the way that Canadian Studies is run. I think it’s remarkable what you have been able to accomplish with the modest funding available. Canadian Studies does more with less than almost anyone I know, and that’s to Irene’s credit. I often tell other faculty directors that they should follow her example.”
“One of the things I enjoy the most about Canadian Studies at Berkeley is the colloquia, as it exposes me to cutting-edge research and innovative studies. I value the opportunity to connect with thought leaders in migration studies, indigenous affairs, politics, and sociology.”
“Canadian Studies provides an intellectual lifeline to Canadians at UC Berkeley and throughout the Bay Area. Whether visiting scholars passing through only for a few months, or transplants like myself who have settled here, I’ve yet to meet a Canadian affiliated with UC Berkeley who, once connected to the Canadian Studies Program, isn’t hooked!”
“Canadian Studies is a unique mix of important scholarship and community engagement. It is a cultural and intellectual home for students, academics, and the broader community. I love having a place where I can both learn what new research is taking place and witness the mixing of thoughtful, intelligent people from all over the world.”

  • External event: “Canadian Network Spotlight” video series
Dear friends,
Tomorrow, it will be one year since the Canadian Studies team was last on campus. A lot has changed for our program in those twelve months; however, our commitment to promoting a greater understanding of Canada and its people has never waivered. And while we’ve certainly faced challenges, we’ve also found some surprising opportunities to strengthen our program during that time.
In this “virtual” year, we’ve found new ways to expand our reach and reach an international audience. Our online colloquia have attracted guests from across North America; in fact, they’ve been so successful we plan to make future in-person events available online. When travel restrictions grounded our Hildebrand Fellows last year, we offered spot awards to help grad students struggling financially. And we’ve taken the opportunity to re-launch our newsletter and social media to better communicate the work that our program and our wonderful student affiliates are doing.
This Thursday, March 11, is Big Give, Berkeley’s annual giving day. If you believe that the work we do is valuable, please help us with a financial donation. Canadian Studies is a donor-supported program, with three-quarters of our funding comes from private donations. At a time when many small programs are struggling, your generosity ensures that we can continue providing quality free programming to the community and supporting promising student researchers.
Sincerely,
Irene Bloemraad

In the News
Quebec River Granted “Legal Personhood” in Canadian First
In the first action of its kind in Canada, Quebec’s Magpie River has been granted legal personhood by regional authorities. As reported by the CBC, simultaneous resolutions adopted by the Minganie regional municipality and the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit grant the river nine rights, with appointed guardians able to sue on the river’s behalf should those rights be violated.
The move is intended to protect the river, which has great significance to the local Innu people, from development, particularly the threat of damming for hydropower. Environmental and Indigenous groups applaud the move, which they say recognizes traditional Indigenous concepts of land stewardship and preserves a valuable natural resource. The action is part of a global movement for “environmental personhood”, which advocates for the intrinsic rights of nature and recognition of Indigenous groups’ traditional relationship to their surroundings.
