BC Supreme Court draws line on freedom of religion when it comes to polygamy
December 12th, 2011 | by David DesBaillets
The provincial government of British Columbia basically posed the following question to the court: Is section 293 of the criminal code, which prohibits polygamy. Liberals always seem to squirm a little bit when questions of religious freedom come into conflict with other rights that they cherish (i.e. gender equality), the way they did last week when the British Colombia Supreme Court handed down its epic reference on the legality of polygamy in Canada. I suppose the situation is bound to cause
Some Insight into Insite
October 3rd, 2011 | by Quiet Mike
Last Friday in a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously that prohibiting Insite, the safe injection clinic, to operate under an exemption from drug laws would be a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Man of La Mancha – Don Quixote at Centaur Theatre
December 14th, 2010 | by Casey Alexander
The lights of life seem to shine most brilliantly when they illuminate adventure. Don Quixote, man of La Mancha, is a man who is fed up with the cheap track lighting of reality. He seeks the bright big time lights of knight errantry. A world he discovers through total immersion in the realm of renaissance literature. Who's to say if he has what it takes? Does it take the man or his mind to make a knight errant? The show opens sparsely with Don Quixote (played fantastically by Peter Anderson) at his home switching speedily from book to book, never letting the audience see his face. Once he shows
Rallies to be held against Marc Emery’s extradition
May 21st, 2010 | by David Falconar
Tomorrow Canadians, Americans and citizens from around the world will take to the streets against our Conservative government's decision to have Canadian marijuana activist Marc Emery extradited to the United States where he will be jailed. Rallies are even being planned in Berlin Germany, Auckland New Zealand and Lapu-Lapu in the Phillipines.

April 18th, 2010 | by Mundafar Lussier
This is the first in a series of articles that will be published bimonthly to let everyone in on one of Canada's best kept secrets, "Salt Spring Island" aka: SSI. SSI is a cornucopia of great artistic talent from all over the world. People flock to SSI from the far reaches of the planet, find paradise and never want to leave. So far during my stay I have met many musicians, film producers, painters, pottery makers, glass blowers, sculptors, clothing designers, fire spinners, circus performers and the list goes on and on. The one thing that makes this place special is that almost everyone are on the same page when it comes to sustainable and ecological living and most importantly what we can do individually and as a group to make it a better cleaner world to live in
