This has been a debate for a long time. I don’t do plastic. I usually opt for paper, but really paper is no better.

They’ve been touring to promote their latest release Scars & Sou...
You couldn’t have asked for better weather on Saturday for the National Aboriginal Day festivities on Victoria Island in Ottawa.

Activities included a talent show with a $10,000 grand prize and a performance by Derek Miller of Six Nations. My grandmother and I arrived in time to catch the remainder of the talent show, which had approximately 30 participants including b...
