The Great Canadian Obsession: Americans

On a national pastime that has captured the hearts of many Canadians — Canadians are obsessed with Americans. Let me clarify: Canadians are obsessed with hating on Americans. They smugly complain about American politics, culture, society, and everything in between. If it came from the United States, Canadians are guaranteed to turn their nose up at it.

It’s time to ditch the ‘our kids’ messaging in climate discourse — At a local climate rally that coincided with the global climate strikes of September 2019, an older climate activist took to the stage to say a few words. She ended her speech with a message to younger activists, “Your generation is our last hope!” As she walked off the stage…

Fear Wins in the End

On the Pernicious Practice of Microblogging

The dangers of micro-content in the information age — The other day I came across a popular story circulating Medium about the benefits of microblogging. In it, the author writes, “Twitter has had a renaissance of late. People are going back for the written word. We’re exhausted by 15-second TikToks that are a sensory overload.” This is news to…

Skinner’s Baby Box

On psychologist B.F. Skinner’s controversial invention — Note: Unfortunately I am not able to share an image of the ‘baby box’ as the LIFE photographs are owned by Time Inc.

Ronald Reagan: The “Citizen Politician”

A 1966 snapshot of Reagan before his rise in politics — Early in his political career, Ronald Reagan was a polarizing figure. His supporters saw him as sincere and charming, others thought he was duplicitous and conniving. A compassionate man, but only selectively so. Authentic and earnest, but politically inexperienced. A persuasive man who had the gift of gab. …

O Canada: A Country Divided

On a fractured country and how we got here — Canada is often overlooked in the international community. Canadians are caricaturized as being neutral, harmless, and even a little dull — a polite, sensible, open-minded people. Compared to other countries, this seems like a favourable public perception to have — and one that even Canadians boast about. But the problem…
