This past Sunday, I was cruising through the glorious National Geographic magazine website. I wanted to just find a cool video online and I stumbled upon this stunning time lapse clip of the night sky that overlooks the Jersey coastline. Due to the unwavering light pollution of the city, it is quite difficult to see…
I am here today to show off one of the most youngest, politically-aware, individuals that I have ever seen. Apparently finding out his information about politics from everyday forms of media such as TV, newspapers, and internet, this boy can express a great understanding of his own countries laws, and most importantly, can use his brain…

With the proposed Charter of Quebec Values, many ask why would such a Charter be needed in Quebec or Canada for that matter.
