Barriere Lake Solidarity has produced this video to help bring attention to the current struggle by the Algonquins of Barriere Lake (ABL) against the Canadian Government’s imposition of Section 74 of the Indian Act. By enacting this obscure piece of the Act, the Canadian Government is attempting to take control of the community by imposing band council elections on the community. The ABL have...

The Tao of Dana: Tea time can change your life. →
thetaoofdana:
Every day I am lost without a cup of green tea. I used to think it was superstitious. Then I realized it had as significant a punch of caffeine as coffee so I thought it was just an addiction. The buzz about health benefits never really seemed significant until I stumbled upon this…

The Carrington Effect of 1859 (Solar Storm of...
Aurora Borealis that covered the entire planet throwing all electric and magnetic fields into a chaos similar to a drunken frat party. The worst that could of happened in the 19th Century was that a “young gents” compass would have directed him west instead of north. Those poor steam engined trains didn’t have a chance. Today, well our dependency and use of electricity is much...

Robocop "Half Ass Bad Ass" Review
The Frankenstein story of the 20th Century. Glorious action and excessive 1980’s cinema violence set in a dystopian future, and yet, this movie still feels fresh and without a doubt, ahead of its time. Set in a future still plausible, corporations have become the main blood line of a decaying society. I don’t see this as farfetched as Rogers Communications owns half of Toronto. In Robocop,...

moneymakr:
We lose out on opportunities everyday because we say no to ourselves before others say no to us. Always remember that rejection is not your job. Why would you turn yourself down before anybody else does? If the consequence is not death, if taking a shot does not kill you, then there is nothing to…

First Rap Video Experience
An interesting experience. I’ve been out of the “look at me” scene for a time now but i’m curious, and I couldn’t pass this up. The video was for a local rapper named Nazdaq, and you would think that local rappers would have nasty local girls. The ladies in the video were undeniably sexy. If I were a wanna be play boy I would be all over that. Don’t get me...

Rich vs Time
At the moment time is my greatest threat. Not that it seems to be running away from me, but the power I allow it to hold in areas of personal accomplishment. As if in a race I try to out run time or at the very least keep level with its perceived speed. Always holding a schedule I push to realize that life begins when the hands of the clock are eliminated. Clarity realized when the ticking...

Man Booker Prize Initiative
American literature..meh. Novels from the Commonwealth, ohhhhh yeahhh. The Man Booker Prize annually rewards the best in English Fiction. Ever since reading Midnight’s Children, I’ve wanted to follow all the books awarded the top prize. Since then I’ve only read the 2000 winner, “The Blind Assassin” by Canadian Margaret Atwood. Currently I’m reading the 1983...

Osama’s dead. It’s glad to see that the Americans on Tumblr are not as stupid as the one’s jeering on the tv. High five from the North :) Tumblr Americans are intelligent
