BARBARA KAY: Woman loses half her face in assault; judge rules it's her fault
by Barbara Kay
The name Marie-Héléne Tokar, resident of the small Laurentian town of St. Hippolyte, Quebec probably means nothing to you. But to those of us who follow stories of pit bull atrocities, the name fairly leaps from the page.

The Great Gatsby: Greatest Asset was the Greatest Flaw?
The fifth screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 magnum opus The Great Gatsby didn’t stray too far from the original plot of the classic American novel. This was both the movie’s greatest flaw and asset.

Left out of the Conversation: The Digital Divide and #IdleNoMore
Karissa Donkin, in a Toronto Star article published January 11th, discusses the rapid spread of the #IdleNoMore movement through social media. She explains, “...anyone — no matter how physically isolated they are — can participate in discussion and follow news if they have an Internet connection or smartphone.” That’s how we became aware of this issue - as students constantly plugged into social media sites, #IdleNoMore was very accessible to us. Which got us thinking, which voices were strongest in Idle No More, and which voices were being excluded?

The HUBkit: a new way of living?
Every year in the month of May, Le Salon International du Design de Montréal hosts a mega showcase for design professionals and the public. This year’s showcase was held at Place Bonaventure from May 24th until the 26th. While the kiosks and presentations were impressive as usual, one Montreal startup, ABNORMstudio, stole the show by claiming three prizes for their innovative product the HUBkit. Intrigued by the HUBkit, I interviewed Aboudi Hassoune, founder of ABNORMstudio to get more insight on their new innovative product:
Modern Society and Real Estate
Neighbourhoods will fall in and out of favour depending on their degree of compatibility with the modern lifestyle. I have identified four factors which I believe to be influential in the neighbourhood desirability shifts that will occur in the coming years. These four factors are: architectural character, accessibility to public transit, size/divisibility of dwellings, and proximity to the city centre. If homebuyers analyze neighbourhoods based on these factors prior to purchasing, they will be more likely to make sound long-term real estate investments.
A nation of touch-me-nots?
It’s perfectly alright to want to keep your children safe, but when schools start measuring the body mass index of kids and carefully count the calories they eat, we’re going too far, I think. This should be the parents’ responsibility; schools should focus on providing good education, that is, food for thought, and leave it at that. Anything above and beyond that is social engineering.
Is he a keeper or a creeper?
We might not be aware of it, but there are many little details, if observed throughout the date, which can tell us what type of man we are dealing with. Therefore I ask, how can we distinguish the good men from the bad ones on a first date? How can we know if he’s a keeper or a creeper?
Ottawa's first Comicon hits the ground running
The rich universes in which all our favorite science fiction and fantasy franchises take place, whether it be Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings or Battlestar Galactica, may be fantastical but all have a grounding in the human condition and tend to bring out the best in both our characters and those of the fans who hold them in such high esteem.
Lasting conservative lessons from liberal reasoners
The impact of both writers was not entirely because of what they said. Popper provided a striking individual technique in showing the fallacies of Marxist and Freudian reasoning. Bloom gave a highly condensed, and very entertaining, summary of almost all the underlying discontents that historically-informed and even moderately literate adults have been bound to have about mass democracy, and the mass expansion of 'higher' education that has gone with it.
Colour Says It All
This spring, be creative and bold with your style. Also, try some pretty prints whether its florals or simple prints, don't hesitate to combine them with textured solids. The clothes we wear represent who we are. They portray our taste and our style. So my advice to you is to be fierce, be bold, be creative, be unique but most of all be real
