Obituary: Dr. Jacques Tremblay (1946 - 2022)

Dr. Tremblay was a general practitioner at the Douglas Institute and an associate researcher at the Douglas Research Centre since 1999. He played an important role in introducing the concept of assessment of the quality of medical care using explicit and implicit criteria in Canada, in the 1980s. This concept is now used widely in North America and is recommended by the Quebec College of Physicians.

Dr. Tremblay worked closely with other former researchers, such as Drs. Thomas Brown and Maurice Dongier, and was committed to advancing research on substance abuse.

The best leaders have traits of both introverts and extroverts

Leadership makes many different demands. Certain situations require the quiet contemplation of an introvert 鈥� like taking time to consider all implications before a decision is made. Other situations need an extrovert鈥檚 gregariousness, like taking the time to ensure that employees know their hard work is appreciated. The best leaders will do both, according to Karl Moore, a Professor at Desautels. Ambiverts make up about 20 per cent of the population, and display some qualities of both introverts and extroverts.

Award-winning spirit brand launched by a one-time Montreal janitor with a vision for better vodka

The purest water makes the best vodka, but despite having water in abundance, Quebec had no vodka makers until relatively recently. Nicolas Duvernois observed this disconnect, and, in 2010, he founded Duvernois Creative Spirits, writes Desautels Professor Karl Moore in Forbes. He was working as a hospital janitor when he launched the company, with a vision to leverage Quebec鈥檚 natural resources to make a premium spirit. Since then, the company鈥檚 Pur Vodka has been named the best vodka in the world six times.

The Russian economy has cratered 鈥� but most Canadian investors are unlikely to have much exposure to it

Russia produces about 10 per cent of the world鈥檚 oil, but the rest of its economy is more of a lightweight. Before it attacked Ukraine, and had its financial system crippled by severe sanctions, Russia accounted for about three per cent of global GDP. Because Russian stock markets were closed after the invasion, investors have been unable to sell their holdings.

Communities in the Global South found innovative ways to adapt technology during COVID

Access to technology is deeply uneven. Many of us take the internet for granted, but nearly 40 per cent of the world鈥檚 population has never even been online. When the pandemic closed schools, not everyone could just switch to online learning. But communities that lacked access to technology found other ways to stay connected. A new study co-authored by Desautels Dean and James 黑料不打烊 Professor Yolande E.

Online impulse buys have helped some cope with pandemic disruptions

During lockdowns, access to luxury services was severely limited. Fine dining establishments were reduced to haute cuisine in take-out containers, and spas forced to close altogether. But some shoppers have tried to fill that void with consumer goods. Everyone鈥檚 life was disrupted, but those who kept their jobs had some extra money in their pocket, and many of them spent it, says Charles de Brabant, Executive Director of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management.
