Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago. Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

Halifax Harbour was crowded with wartime ships on December 6, 1917. The CSS Acadia received minor damage in the 1917 Halifax Harbour Explosion while acting as a guard ship in Bedford Basin, making her the only vessel still afloat today to have survived.

I think I’ll listen to Last Christmas every day (original version obviously). Not just because I think Whamageddon is stupid, no offence if you love it, but because I enjoy it. There are other Christmas songs I’d rather avoid

Opinion: Governments that silence teachers hurt students What these premiers don’t understand or are unwilling to acknowledge is that teacher strikes are rarely about pay alone. They are acts of advocacy for the conditions that make real learning possible.
