On March 14th 2018, students across America participated in a nationwide walkout that was both a memorial and protest against the deadly Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting that occurred a month previously on February 14th 2018. The shooting marked the deadliest high school shooting in American history and has prompted many to press lawmakers to…
{Source} To be completely honest, politics has never caught my interest the same way it does others. But what caused me (and you) to check hashtags and read articles regarding this election was the hype. We could never get away from it because promises upon promises were thrown at us everywhere we went. This is not a…
What Does Privilege Mean To You? As defined by Google, privilege is “a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.” To me, it means being able to go to school every day, to live in a democratic country with freedom of speech, to have money in…
The above photo was taken by me two days ago at Maligne Lake during a little family adventure. During this trip, I posted many beautiful scenic shots to my Instagram page. Was I trying to brag about the fun I was having? No. Was I trying to paint a perfect picture of my mini vacation?…

Calgary is a city known for its oil, cowboys and apparent love for country music. But nothing could truly symbolise Cowtown compare to the Calgary Tower. Yes, the Calgary Tower, if you ever been driving downtown, you’d know it’s that awkward building giving a halt to Centre Street. Others know it for its occasional…
Returning from a recent trip from Montreal, it often interests me how diverse and massive Canada truly is. When former Governor-General Michelle Jean mentioned Canada having two solitudes, never would I have thought that the two regions of Quebec and the Rest of Canada would be so distinct. Entering La Belle Province was almost as…
I don’t want to try to sound like every other cynical person, but for me I find these man-made holidays to be kind of unnecessary. Like most holidays, they start out as humble, well-deserved holidays.
