The Notorious RBG

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has held many titles over the course of her life. Supreme Court Justice. Law student. Professor. Mother. Wife. Daughter. But perhaps her most significant title that still resonates with us today is that of feminist icon. Ginsburg was a pioneer for gender equality, a trailblazer for equal rights, spending a majority of her life fighting for women everywhere.

What the COVID-19 era has meant for refugees around the globe

To say that this year has not been easy would be an understatement. The spread of COVID-19 has hung a shadow of uncertainty over the future, forcing us to acclimatize to a lonelier standard of living. Being isolated from friends and family is certainly a challenge, but at least in the face of this illness, Canadians who develop symptoms can rely on the country’s healthcare procedures for their diagnoses and treatment. Globally, however, not everyone has been so fortunate.

Compassionate Sustainability

Nearly the entire population of Canada and most of the world has social media of some sort or follows a news outlet and inevitably comes across climate issues like wildfires, hurricanes, pollution, extinction, and so on. Awareness is at an all-time high, but sometimes it feels like empathy for the environment is nonexistent, extinct like the many species that suffered from toxic human habits.

Abandoned Furniture

The things you can find in someone’s trash says a lot about them: receipts from where they shop, their preferred brand of toilet paper, or how often they order take-out.
