It was Matt Durnin, principal of the consultancy Nous Group, who first mentioned his company’s horrific nickname.
In an interview about Nous’s swift and controversial rise to dominance of Canada’s market in strategic management advice to universities, Durnin said Nous remains a company that is “small enough to have a bit of personality.”
So it does. Trouble is, that personality has a dark side. The nickname is “Nousferatu,” as in the vampire, because of what critics describe as a reputation for selling a slash-and-burn template for saving bankrupt universities by making them go...

When they encounter an obstacle, I resist the urge to intervene: to fit the puzzle pieces together for my red-faced toddler, or help him clamber up a playground ladder; to conjure up a constant stream of activities to fill my kindergartener’s weekend afternoons, or at least let her watch TV.

The Cost of Care
As Monica Kidd writes in her cover story, “Need a Knee Replacement? You Can Get It at the Mall” (May), Canada is known for its “universal” health care system. However, we still come second to big-profit interests. According to a 2015 Angus Reid study, nearly 25 percent of Canadians chose not to fill or renew a prescription in the previous year due to the cost of medication. This often results in many low-income patients returning to the hospital, ultimately costing the health care system more than if the prescriptions had been covered. We continue to be one of the world’...

Toronto’s last shooting range has won a legal battle against Ontario’s chief firearms officer.
The Toronto Revolver Club (TRC) took the province’s chief firearms officer (CFO) to Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice after a 2024 inspection where the Ontario Provincial Police inspector who holds the position visited the 120-year-old non-profit’s facility and issued a new shooting range approval containing several conditions.
