This professor at University of Ottawa is being punished for his assigning all A+ grades in a class. Oh how I wish he were in the norm. I am not as eloquent as he is and not able to defend such a position but I would support a move to a non-grading or a pass-fail system.
Towards the end of the interview the interviewer says in summary:
"We are too focused on grades and not enough on learning."
Ah-ha! He gets it!
I should add a link to the petition in support of Professor Denis Rancourt:

Ain't that a big ball o' sunshine!
