11:00am- Susan Eng, Vice President of Advocacy at CARP, Re: While 4-in-10 CARP members (41%) say voter fraud is a problem in Canada, virtually all say the real problem is voter participation (94%), and more than a third agree the Fair Elections Act proposed by the Conservative government will reduce voter participation (35%) while fewer than a quarter say it will reduce voter fraud (23%). Two thirds agree public hearings must be held on this bill before it is enacted (65%), while just one quarter disagree (26%).
11:30am- Professor Georgina Rippon, Chair of Cognitive NeuroImaging at Aston Brain Centre in the School of Life and Health Sciences at Aston University in Birmingham UK, Re: The idea that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, with male and female brains wired differently, is a myth which has no basis in science, a professor has claimed. Rippon said gender differences emerged only through environmental factors and were not innate. Recent studies have suggested that female brains are more suited to social skills, memory and multitasking, while men are better at perception and coordination. However, Rippon claimed that any differences in brain circuitry only come about through gender stereotyping.
