Earth Year 2014
Earth Day this year presented us with yet another wake-up call to be attentive to the cry of our planet home for our greater care and respect. Are we listening?
An “innocent” Nigel Wright does not stem our multiplying villainies
There is much reason to be cynical of our political class, and the systems meant to check and balance them.
In response to ‘Open letter to Memorial University’s Senate’
"If a police officer cannot be trusted with a holstered duty weapon in this setting, they cannot be trusted in any setting."
Real choice means you can say “No”
If people had the option to select "None of the Above" on a ballot they would get more of what they really want and less of what they do not
Guns don’t belong on campus
"The recent deregulation of firearms at MUN has normalized the excessive use of police force."
In support of Labrador independence too
"Labrador has its own identity, independent of the island. I now fully understand and support the idea of two equal parts..."
“The Ostrich”
"Is it possible to change a future that is rushing towards us virtually unhindered...?"
Time to start thinking differently
"When we don't tie ourselves to the bigger-is-better mindset and instead be the innovative beasts we are, a world of possibility opens up. The magic is that this is already happening."
Keep Newfoundland independence on the table
