Let me start by saying this is a must-see documentary. This is definitely up there in my list of top documentaries. I won’t give too much of a review about this as it’s 1:30 in the morning and the trailer below can do most of that for me. What I will say is that this [...]

The graduating class for my Social Justice and Peace Studies program has decided to put together a collage of pieces of art from each of the graduating students. We each got a 5″x7″ canvas to do what we please with. These canvases will then be posted on a wall in the shape of a peace [...]

It’s amazing to see people coming together, especially in a continent where individualism, division, and competition rule. I’m a Canadian but it is impossible not to follow what is going on on the other side of the border. This movement is exciting and enviable. Something great is stirring and I hope that it continues!

I went to the library yesterday at school and I had to take out an article that was on reserve. I got it from the service counter, took it upstairs and read it. These items that are on reserve are only allowed to be booked out for 2 hours at a time. I was done [...]

One of my many life goals is to travel to Antarctica. Every once in a while I peruse the internet to feel a little bit closer to these goals and to dream about the things I hope to do in the future. One company that is making the realization of travel goals easier is G.A.P [...]

Last month I wrote a post called Threat to US National Security in which I mentioned that News companies these days are not focused on reporting actual news. Instead they are interested in making as much profit as possible. The result is dumbed-down coverage and avoidance of anything that may hurt the feelings of their [...]

“From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between [...]

What just flashed through your mind–terrorists, nuclear bombs, illegal immigrants? Since this is what the mainstream media pushes as the threats to the American people, I don’t blame you if it was–really. However, while most people are fixated on things that are hyped up more than their actual threat warrants, the real threats to the [...]

Today, in class, my professor made reference to a children’s book called The Golden Compass, which is part of a trilogy by Philip Pullman. There was mention of controversy over the claim that this book has atheist intentions written into it. This prompted me to do a bit of Google searching where I found a [...]

You know, sometimes it isn’t the videos on YouTube that I get my kicks from, but the comments below them. Is it weird that I just spent an hour browsing videos to read their comments rather than actually watch videos? Perhaps. However, I can say that it was no less entertaining!
