Seeing the aftermath of a bad windstorm in a park or a forest is an awe-inspiring sight. I remember driving through a local park that was devastated after ‘once in a lifetime’ hurricane force winds that blew down trees that had stood for hundreds of years. The root systems looked like newly-erected walls had been…

My reply to that koan is that the potential for sound is created by the existence of soundwaves - turning the potential into reality is dependent upon a receptive ear.

A surprising number of runners are killed when trail running by deadfalls.

I love lucid dreaming. I keep a dream journal the insights I’ve gleaned from it have been extremely helpful. I don’t enjoy my dreams just for what they teach me, however. My mother died when I was in my early 20's ans I didn’t dream of her for many years. Over the past year, I’ve had quite a few dreams about her and I…

Are we not all done with Madonna yet? I was done with her five minutes after her first video dropped and her whole schtick unfolded. 

Something very important, though rarely mentioned, is to watch out for deadfall trees know by forestry workers as ‘widowmakers’. If you are lost and need to hunker down and stay in one place, look up. Make sure you haven’t positioned yourself where a dead tree has fallen but been caught up in the branches of another…

I’m a Canadian, so while I don’t have a say in your fight, sadly there are rumblings in our politically right of centre parties of trying to reopen the abortion debate should they ever regain power. I can only imagine that they are emboldened by the ‘successes’ of the far and religious right in your country, even…

From one Canadian to another: I love you, genius dog.

I hate Dorit soooo much. She makes my skin crawl, her and her creepy, misogynist husband. Why have none of these normally intelligent women gone back to the origin of this whole issue, which is the fact that Dorit made this whole thing up out of nothing. She made it all up - she imagined that it was LVP who told Radar…

I am rarely shocked, but I have to say I was truly shocked when I saw the texts that proved Teddi was in on Puppygate. I was sincerely disillusioned by Teddi.

Wow. I’m really surprised at Rinna, especially since her mother was almost murdered by that serial killer. You’d think she’d be more sympathetic. Julianne Phillips has had it tough. Ever seen Springsteen’s “Tougher than the Rest” video? Basically him and Patti Scialfa announcing to the world that they were totally hot…

What I can’t get past is that all of this started over Dorit’s ‘guess’ that it was LVP who leaked the original story to Radar Online. She had no evidence at all, and all the other women have now turned it into fact that LVP (or someone in her ‘camp’, whatever the hell that means) who leaked the story, and especially…

1) Lala is the definition of “false woke white girl”. She thinks she’s a feminist, she thinks she’s an ally and she thinks she’s open-minded, fair and honest. She’s none of those things. She’s an over-privileged, self-entitled, self-absorbed cis-centered white girl. Talk about living in the bubble. She’s so deep in…

Living with chronic, unrelenting pain is a nightmare that cannot be imagined by the healthy, especially those lacking empathy. When that pain is accompanied by fear of losing your employment due to your disability and a cruel, malicious manager (I’ve been there), your life is hell. I have never in my life wished ill…

The Stanley Cup riot happened eight years ago. Get over it.

If by ‘convenient’ you’re attempting to suggest that I am wilfully blind to the plight of Indigenous people in the Lower Mainland or elsewhere, you’re barking up the wrong tree. 

And yet you clicked on the story and clicked on ‘reply’. And typed out your psuedo ennui. My word.

Finally, someone put this into terms Americans can relate to. Quebec has it all. Mass shootings (of Muslim worshippers at prayer), corrupt politicians (multiple convictions on both sides of the aisle), racist laws (banning Muslim women from wearing niqab), etc, etc.

Bull. Grant Fuhr was drafted into the NHL in 1981, was one of the best goalies of all time, won the Stanley Cup, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and was a POC. Black players have been a part of hockey for many years, as have Asian players. Hockey being an ‘all white’ sport is a myth perpetuated by…
