From my early beginnings as a young introvert, the public library has always been a bit of a refuge. Years later, not much has changed, albeit with an additional affinity for endless hours spent scouring second-hand bookstores to add to my ever-growing “to-read” pile. From one bookworm to another, this column will be underscoring and… Read more »
I’m sure we have all overdone it and “made a little too merry” at some points in our lives. Perhaps, against our better judgement, we have indulged in that second gin and tonic at the vicar’s charity lawn party. Or else we have gone out for a quick game night pint and some chicken wings… Read more »
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by deadlines and study material, there’s a philosopher to the rescue. The Greek Parmenides believed that gaps, when explored, are redolent with activity and each instant contains an infinity of information overwhelming the concept of flow so much so that to think of motion belies the reality of the universe… Read more »

While it would have taken less than 2000 votes in crucial ridings to send things the other way, our first past the post system… Read more »
I spent a weekend recently in Vancouver and Nanaimo, BC. It was the first weekend BC trip I had made for a long time, since pre-COVID. As an Albertan, weekend adventures in BC are the perfect getaway because they are so convenient. The plane ride is only about an hour and a half. The coastal… Read more »
Is it anti-feminist to want to be a domestic goddess or a housewife? Not when we throw in skills like IT and home repair. And not when we don’t have to be female to gain the status, either. All we need is the intense desire to be the best homebody ever. But it’s not enough… Read more »
I write this flabbergasted. Once again my feminist course, this time contemporary theory, shows disability to be something that one tries to avoid or escape, etc.. This time using how a woman who wanted to commit assisted suicide wasn’t facing discrimination because she wasn’t allowed to have someone help her practice individual autonomy with life… Read more »
Writing about the case of Karamjeet Kaur and 700 should-be Canadians was a very unpleasant experience. Worst of all, it seemed as though journalists, immigration lawyers, and academics with expertise in immigration all seemed to accept the narrative that this was a bogus admissions letter issue, and it seemed as though we would be poised… Read more »

Is rapport any good? It’s more than reasonable! It’s blissful when done right. We can walk into any storefront, greet the cashiers, smile, say it’s nice to see them, and ask how their day is. And do they ever love it! We can thank them for their service, compliment their strengths, and encourage their dreams. … Read more »

We’ll overlook the fact that June 2nd’s National Fish and Chip Day is sponsored in the UK by the National Edible Oil Distributors Association (yuck, too much info!) and instead just lift the basket with a pair of digestible articles.
