(Warning: content may be deemed discriminatory)
In October, I was shocked to read that the Canadian Human Rights Commission had declared Christmas to be discriminatory.
Like many thoughtful consumers of the news today, I read the three-word headline, let my emotions run wild, and cursed the idiocy of “them” before moving to the next piece of click-bait. But now, a month into the Christmas season and having had some time to reflect on Christmases past, I...

Sometimes I get a birthday gift right. Like the time I found an ink-drawn Dr. Gonzo, clutching a briefcase full of drugs in one hand and a pencil-thin cigarette holder in the other, tiptoeing across a plain white canvas in a Calgary movie-poster shop.
“Perfect!” I proclaimed, thinking of my sister who loves Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and whose birthday was five months away, leaving me time to get it framed. Birthday gift...

My niece recently commented that we should not consider ourselves superior to other animals. I immediately imagined the kitchen in which we were sitting being on fire, and me being able to only save her or my cat, Dash. My hunch was that she would want to be considered the “superior” choice, but we moved on to other topics and I lost my chance to confirm that with her (I will go with my...
As a father of 7 in the media industry (but, sigh, not Google, Meta, or Amazon), I do not fly on airplanes often. And when I do, it is generally the randomly chosen middle seat — perfect for my long legs — in row 32.
However, last week, through a stroke of luck and a very generous person, I was given the opportunity to fly business class. What a treat!

Remember the 1970s? Okay, maybe you are too young. How about the 1980s? 1990s? Early 2000s?
