“The Perfect Relationship” Debunked
Over the past week or so, my social media newsfeed has been blowing up with this “Perfect Relationship” meme. Aside from the problematic and potentially damaging idea that a “perfect relationship” exists, this fictional couple sounds malicious, pompous, and dull: He works. She works. They’re both employed. What a revolutionary concept. They split the bills. […]

Keep Canada’s Parliament Open To The Public
When I was 18, I moved to Ottawa to begin my undergraduate studies. A couple of weeks into the semester I met an attractive fellow student unlike any woman I’d met before. I wasted little time in asking her out. And so, on a crisp late-September evening, we took a walk around downtown Ottawa, ending […]
