The first Canadian correspondence courses appeared a century ago. It was then that McGill University in Montreal went to meet teachers who did not have the opportunity to attend its full-time department. In 1920, the British Columbia Department of Education heeded the calls of the outlying communities, and the first provincial-level courses were introduced. In 1941, Canadian farmers on the prairie heard the training programs broadcast for the first time.

The university has 30,000 students, 80% of whom are Canadians. McGill has a total of 21 faculties with over 300 majors. In the 2010 ranking according to The Guardian, he took 19th place in the world.

Excerpt from McGill University

The clock showed eleven, but it seemed especially cloudy outside. Pierre got up, rubbed his eyes and, seeing the pistol with a cut-out stock, which Gerasim put back on the writing table, Pierre remembered where he was and what he had to do on that particular day.
“Am I too late? Thought Pierre. "No, he probably won't make his entry into Moscow until twelve." Pierre did not allow himself to reflect on what lay ahead, but he was in a hurry to act as soon as possible.
Straightening his dress, Pierre took a pistol in his hands and was getting ready to go. But then for the first time the thought came to him of how, not in his hand, along the street to carry this weapon to him. Even under a wide caftan it was difficult to hide a large pistol. It was impossible to place it inconspicuously neither under the belt nor under the arm. In addition, the pistol was unloaded, and Pierre did not have time to load it. “All the same, a dagger,” Pierre said to himself, although he more than once, discussing the fulfillment of his intention, decided with himself that the student's main mistake in 1809 was that he wanted to kill Napoleon with a dagger. But, as if Pierre's main goal was not to carry out his intended business, but to show himself that he does not renounce his intention and does everything to fulfill it, Pierre hastily took the one he had bought from the Sukharev Tower along with a pistol a blunt jagged dagger in a green sheath and tucked under his vest.
Girdling his caftan and pulling on his cap, Pierre, trying not to make noise and not meet the captain, walked down the corridor and went out into the street.
The fire, which he had gazed at so indifferently the night before, had grown considerably overnight. Moscow was already burning from different sides. Burned at the same time Karetny Ryad, Zamoskvorechye, Gostiny Dvor, Povarskaya, barges on the Moscow River and a wood market near Dorogomilovsky Bridge.
Pierre's path lay through the lanes to Povarskaya and from there to the Arbat, to Nikolai Yavlenny, in whose imagination he had long ago determined the place where his work was to be done. Most of the houses had gates and shutters locked. The streets and alleys were deserted. The air smelled of smoke and smoke. Occasionally we met Russians with restlessly timid faces and Frenchmen with a non-urban, camp-like air walking along the middle of the streets. Both of them looked at Pierre in surprise. In addition to his great height and thickness, besides a strange gloomily concentrated and suffering expression on his face and the whole figure, the Russians looked closely at Pierre, because they did not understand what class this person could belong to. The French, on the other hand, followed him with surprise with their eyes, especially because Pierre, disgusted with all other Russians, who looked frightened or curious at the French, did not pay any attention to them. At the gate of one house, three Frenchmen, who were interpreting something to the Russian people who did not understand them, stopped Pierre, asking if he knew French.
Pierre shook his head and walked on. In another lane, a sentry standing at the green box shouted at him, and Pierre, only at the repeated threatening cry and the sound of the gun taken by the sentry in his hand, realized that he had to go around the other side of the street. He did not hear or see anything around him. He, like something terrible and alien to him, with haste and horror carried within himself his intention, fearing - taught by the experience of the previous night - to somehow lose it. But Pierre was not destined to convey his mood intact to the place where he was going. In addition, even if he had not been delayed by anything on the way, his intention could not have been fulfilled already because Napoleon more than four hours ago drove from the Dorogomilovsky suburb through the Arbat to the Kremlin and was now sitting in the most gloomy mood in the tsar's office. of the Kremlin Palace and gave detailed, detailed orders on measures that should have been taken immediately to extinguish the fire, prevent looting and calm the inhabitants. But Pierre did not know this; he, completely absorbed in what was ahead, was tormented, as people who stubbornly undertake an impossible task are tormented - not because of difficulties, but because of the alienation of the matter with their nature; he was tormented by the fear that he would weaken at the decisive moment and, as a result, lose respect for himself.
Although he could not see or hear anything around him, he knew the way by instinct and was not mistaken by the alleys that led him to Povarskaya.
As Pierre approached Povarskaya, the smoke grew stronger and stronger, even the warmth from the fire of the fire grew. From time to time, tongues of fire erupted from behind the rooftops. More people met in the streets, and these people were more alarmed. But Pierre, although he felt that something so extraordinary was happening around him, did not realize that he was approaching the fire. Passing along a path that went along a large undeveloped place, adjoining on one side to Povarskaya, on the other to the gardens of the house of Prince Gruzinsky, Pierre suddenly heard a desperate cry of a woman beside himself. He stopped, as if awakening from sleep, and raised his head.
