2021 was an incredible year in the financial world. We saw stock markets breaking new records, ordinary folks getting extremely rich betting on meme stocks and crypto, inflation raging high thanks to COVID, and weather-induced supply-chain disruptions, to name just a few things. What can we expect in 2022? The biggest concern on everyone’s mind […]

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 3.5/4 Spider-Man: No Way Home is easily the best Spider-Man movie I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing on the big screen. Throughout the course of these Jon Watts-directed movies, Tom Holland has continuously knocked it out of the park both playing a young Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and this […]

There’s a lot of confusion surrounding the legality of the unapproved Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline being forced through Wet’suwet’en territory. The bottom line is that in forcing this project through lands where hereditary chiefs are saying a resounding “no,” the canadian government is blatantly contradicting itself. Sure, some of the Wet’suwet’en band council are in […]

As Black History Month is approaching, let’s talk about some really outstanding females. Back in the day it was hard for women to actually achieve something, but it was even harder if they weren’t white. Let’s have a closer look at NASA, for example. Men didn’t trust calculations by machines and considered this women’s work. […]

2021 was one hell of a year for movies. We had some great blockbuster movies like No Time to Die, starring Daniel Craig, and Marvel gems Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Black Widow.

There are tons of amazing bi people out there, but, unfortunately, our society is disregarding at best and biphobic […]

As the ball drops and we ring in a brand new year, I’m sure many of us will be making New Year’s resolutions with great optimism. Well, why not make some new year’s money resolutions, too? Doing so could benefit your long-term financial health. In this instalment of Show Me the Money, I’ll suggest a […]

Last month, during one of the wettest autumn seasons I’ve ever seen, I heard through the grapevine that the winter promised to be colder and snowier than usual. I have an image re-playing itself constantly in my head of two giant fingers reaching through the clouds, picking me up, and plopping down somewhere else, I […]

When the canadian (I refuse to capitalize that word out of protest) government began using the word “reconciliation” I was one of the naive canadians who felt optimistic. I fell under the impression that things around here might actually change.  But then the government hired planeloads of RCMP to congregate in the Bulkley Valley and […]
