Today I learned that one of my favourite boutiques in town is going out of business, which is a damned shame; its funky and elegant and the prices are reasonable and everything is more or less luxury fair trade. Apparently she has to close because she is tired, and I can understand that, but I […]
Last fall while I was staying at Magdalene House and playing Magic with Holden, the Great Satan and I were discussing the issue of extremism in Canadian youths, and how that might best be addressed. The concept that he and I eventually hammered out basically relied on the phrase “We are Legion” used by Anonymous, […]
Happy New Year to all of my readers! I am a bit clumsy on the keyboard because my fingers are still somewhat swollen from being out in the cold; today I resigned myself to fate and went into town. After coffee I stopped by the local entrepreneurship place, Community Futures. I have been there three […]
One of the more distressing moral dichotomies I am forced to deal with is the knowledge that the same tools that I use to combat trafficking also were the products of mining and labour practices which contribute to labour trafficking in so-called “less developed” nations. It’s frustrating to know for example that wars are entirely […]
I refuse to write any “how to take over the world” articles – at least, intentionally, though I may periodically write about the laws of war…. when I write Cosmo or Maxim type articles. I am just writing. That said. I have recently been taking myself through the painful and uncomfortable mission of invading my […]

Let’s start with international things first shall we? First, the Paris climate summit has just ended, with the various media outlets declaring it either a success or a failure. Frankly, I am waiting to see what happens when Mr. Trudeau manages to catch his breath for two seconds before I declare it either; however, here […]
Today I went into town and went shopping, as per my regular MO. I am looking into work and moving, and rather than have to bring boxes in and out of my rather cramped space more than once, I decided instead to buy another trunk to put my things in, which ran me $30.00 at […]
Fair trade principles state that through the intellectual and financial empowerment of individuals and through community building, advocacy and awareness campaigns, financial literacy and personal development programs, we can improve not just the quality of life but both industry and environmental standards. One of the primary difficulties I encounter while advocating for trafficking victims and […]
It crossed my mind today that there are a few universal symbols that transfers ideological dogmatic borders, one of which is the fact that International Humanitarian efforts during times of conflict must generally be organized from a grassroots level in order to make and continue sustained growth of the intersecting economic tangents involved in operations.
