Lets face in, these are trying times for entrepreneurs, writers, journalists, artists, and folks in general. I’ve been fortunate (I guess??) to have been turned into a cartoon character of sorts by those I interact with most frequently; it was Doctrine Man!! Who gave me the call sign Doctrine Dominatrix after he assigned me to […]
I’m taking the day off of blogging tomorrow spend some serious alone time and try and set some personal priorities, particularly after the election dust has finally stopped. As anyone with a television, radio, or internet connection is surely aware of, Election 2015 ushered in a Liberal majority government with a Conservative opposition, resulting in […]
This may be the first year in a long time that I can send gifts, and this has me very excited. I’ve been doing a lot of journaling lately and several ideas have struck me, such as fabric covered personalized journals and pens. I cut up my too peacock-y pink hijab and am using it […]
Today marks the end of a very long federal election campaign. Regardless of who wins, there will be changes.

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.

During his tenure he chained CN Rail’s trains to the track for nonpayment of rent, built the first jail (using his basement originally; I used to play in his house) and built the first one-room schoolhouse. There’s a statue […]
I decided to do my part in something Malala asked for, which is to stop military defense spending for eight days, and use the time to try and come up with better ideas that involve less war. My wifi is supposed to be back up today. NATO is hiring for their Brussels command centre. They’re […]
The Great Satan once told me that refugees should be considered foreign investors temporarily obstructed from their material wealth, and that by delaying in accepting refugees, Canada was giving up the opportunity to have essentially the first draft. Like choosing a sports team basically. It’s damning that the response to the refugee crisis by the […]

This lead to the discovery that […]
