A surprisingly fun issue this week, as Alek has provided us another one of his larger-than-life tales which I’d typically write off as humour reporting, except that he’s got the pics to prove it. Pics, they say, or it didn’t happen. Well, right here is proof that it indeed did happen, and a reminder that… Read more »
Greenhouse gases have become a growing problem since the industrial revolution and from overpopulation. In the past 40 years, global warming has caused the Arctic ice to melt drastically, with scientists predicting the ice will completely melt by 2040. Additionally, temperatures rising rapidly each year makes conditions tough for both humans and animals. The temperatures… Read more »
Growing up with some non-traditional brunch and breakfast options means that when you’re an adult, you still miss the taste of childhood. One of my childhood favorites are Chinese crepes, which resemble a green onion cake and are easy to make as well as nutritionally rich and delicious. Chinese crepes, also known as “jianbing”, are… Read more »

This week’s issue was a bit challenging for me, as a couple of the articles this week are about not accepting prevailing wisdom and always being willing to challenge orthodoxy, whether it be in cultural or scientific norms. And while I agree to some extent, my own experience has me rather acutely aware of the… Read more »
How do we go from no experience leading people to idealized leaders on the first day of the job? I have an idea of how to achieve this. But first, what is an ideal leader? It’s someone who loves the people they serve, is visionary and inspirational, and elevates the bottom line. And I have… Read more »
My experience with Wikipedia has been a source of frustration. I shared The Marriage Foundation’s unconventional views on unconditional love, which lasted a day or two. And then it was promptly deleted. Then, I attempted to contribute to a page on AI and consciousness, citing a large-scale longitudinal study, only to have my comments dismissed… Read more »
Canada is home to over 200 different ethnic groups and 200 different spoken languages, and there are over 60 different Indigenous languages that are spoken across the country.
