Election Day 

Today marks the end of a very long federal election campaign. Regardless of who wins, there will be changes. I hope that a revision of C-51 and efforts to improve cyber security and electronic warfare decence is part of that, as much as I hope consideration of mefloquine and its effects on our military personnel […]

What’s a Food Desert?

Once upon a time I lived near 111 Avenue in Edmonton in a surprisingly quiet and isolated neighbourhood. The closest thing to a grocery store there was over ten blocks away through a scary neighbourhood by foot, or else required taking a complicated bus route.  Otherwise all the food stores were essentially convenience or dollar […]

International observers to oversee Canadian election is the the main headline capturing my attention today, along with Canadian election to change the world and this one from NATO NATO Secretary General on President Obama’s Announcement on Afghanistan 15 October 2015.

There’s a statue […]

I really, really need to stop being surprised by people.  Although, honestly, it is kind of nice to know that I can still be surprised. This week has brought us, among other things, the promise that if we vote for the Conservative Party, that it will lead to the development of a a “Barbaric cultural […]

For me to just talk to someone about trafficking violations prostitution laws. There is contention from both within and without the sex industry as to whether or not prostitution […]
