Sip & Savour
I hate to say it but summer is coming to a close. Labour Day has passed, the kids are ensconced in school and we close up the cottage for another season. For wine, it’s shoulder season, a confusing time. Do we begin to stock up on winter warmers or do
Note from the Publisher: Top 25 of Ottawa

A different kind of rice ‘n’ beans

Baby, Bedroom & Beyond…

Tapping into Arctic Gold

Evolutionary History: Uniting History and Biology to Understand Life on Earth By Edmund Russell
Book by: Edmund Russell (Cambridge University Press, 2011, 216pp.) Reviewed By: Don MacLean To the untrained eye, it may appear impossible to see evidence of the evolutionary process in the world around us. All animals and plants are born and live whatever life they have before passing on. Human beings may
The Russian Alexandrov Red Army Choir and Ensemble – Wow!
In the late 70s my late father, in his infinite wisdom, took me to the new NAC to see what was then commonly referred to as the Soviet Red Army Chorus. All things Soviet in those days were mysterious and framed in anxiety and just not like 'us'(sic). The musicianship
Opera Lyra Ottawa kicks off with a Double-Bill of Italian Classics and Ottawa Stars
“The show must go on.” It is an adage familiar to all that hear it. While its origins come from theatrical arenas outside of opera, the statement is a perfect fit for Ruggero Leoncavallo's 1892 opera Pagliacci – the tragic story of famed clown Canio who finds he must go
Cleaning Out My Closet… Kind Of

“Dangerously” Good Looking: Why Personal Care Products Can Be Harmful
The average Canadian has a rigorous morning routine - we scrub, brush, paint, and spray with reckless abandon, all in an effort to "look our best" for the coming day. In our day-to-day life we are exposed to a multitude of choices in personal care products, including toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant,

The Politics of America’s Economic Decline
America’s economic crisis is showing no signs of abating. Late last week it was announced that no new jobs were created in the month of August. The most recent figures suggest over 14 million Americans are jobless; the real figure is undoubtedly much higher. Panic grips the stock market every
Senate Reform, Part X: The End of the Beginning
