2026 or 2018?

newspaper 0 comment

While most countries entered 2026 as December 31st ended, Ethiopia instead stayed in the year 2018. This East African country with a population of over 137 million seems to be seven years behind the rest of the world. Its current year is just one of the many examples of its uniqueness. Ethiopia doesn’t follow the Gregorian calendar that most other cultures use. For them, the birth ofJesus is set to 7 AC which is why they live in 2018.  Ethiopians celebrate the new year on September 11th.  These differences occur…

Venezuela: a Case Study of Modern Interventionism

Aggressive tariffs, intervention in the Middle East, ambitions of territorial expansion; ever since the Trump administration regained power a year ago, it has kept making bolder and more aggressive moves on the global checkerboard. Nowhere has this new era of American interventionism been more evident than in the theatrical regime change that occurred in Venezuela during the night of January 3rd, where the country’s head of state, President Nicolàs Maduro, was abducted by U.S. forces from his home. The Venezuelan leader is now awaiting trial in New York, where he…

Are You Still Watching? Second Screen Viewing and the Attention Economy

Let’s face it: attention is one of the most valuable resources that companies are honing in on. The world is constantly drowning in entertainment and information at every corner, so it makes sense that people are finding it more and more difficult to concentrate on a single task. As screens take over our lives, there seems to be some sort of hierarchy establishing itself. Cell phones are rising to the top while television is slowly sinking to the bottom. Why is that? Second Screen Viewing “Second Screen Viewing” is the…

The Chinese Zodiac

Lunar New Year It’s January which means it’s officially 2026, happy new year to all. This also means, in many western cultures, that the horoscopes begin again with Capricorn, the earth sign symbolized by a sea-goat. However, in many oriental cultures, it is not yet the new year: many follow the lunisolar calendar and, therefore, their new year begins during the month of February. This also impacts their beliefs and traditions. A very popular and world-shared worship is that of the zodiacs (as we’ve seen with our own horoscopes), today…

Holocaust Rememberance Day Why did the Holocaust happen? A holocaust such as the one known with a capital H does not happen overnight. Instead, I’d say that this is a perfect example of the boiling frog phenomenon. First came Darwin’s On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859 that popularized eugenics. Darwin presented the theory of Darwinism: organisms will adapt to their environment so that, in the end, only the traits most suitable for life and survival will remain. The theory was then grossly oversimplified and…

COLDS : TRUE OR FALSE

As we enter the cold winter months, many of us will see our immune system compromised by bouts of coughing and endlessly snot-clogged sinuses. When it comes to the common cold, it is sometimes impossible to differentiate scientifically backed facts from old wives’ tales, which is why I am taking it upon myself to bust some of those myths. 1. Common Cold and Flu are Synonyms FALSE. Although both diseases share some symptoms, the ‘flu’ refers specifically to the influenza virus, while the ‘common cold’ is an umbrella term for…

Jeffrey Epstein : America’s Worst Rags to Riches Story (the image above is one of Jeffrey Epstein and his long-time aprtner, Ghislaine Maxwell) Who Was Jeffrey Epstein? Born to a middle-class New York family in 1953, he died in a New York jail in 2019. Jeffrey Epstein’s legacy is as disgusting as it is confusing. In 1974, while lacking any credentials, as, while he studied at NYU for three years, he never obtained his diploma, Epstein was somehow hired as a teacher of high school physics and mathematics at the…

We’re transitioning from having so much to do with so little time to having nothing to do at all. We have so much free time during winter break that it becomes difficult to…

How Assault Reshapes Daily Life: Understanding the Hidden Impacts of Trauma

newspaper 0 comment

Assault is often spoken about as a single event, a moment of violence that ends once the survivor is physically safe. But for many, the aftermath lasts far longer than the event itself. A recent student research project at Vanier College explores how assault silently shapes everyday behaviour, mental health, and the way survivors navigate the world. The Everyday Aftermath Most People Do Not See Survivors often describe the period after an assault as a quiet unraveling. Tasks that once felt simple, like taking the bus, walking home, meeting friends,…

Imagine this, since you were little you built your confidence through countless hours of a sport. As you got older, you only got better, which meant more hours and more sacrifices. Opting for rest over relationships, consistency over extra curriculars, and practice over parties; you missed out on activities every other high school kid experiences. Going to extreme lengths in order to be the best, while simultaneously curating a vision of success for yourself in your sport and watching it unfold. Finally, you’re recognized and you’re chosen to play for…
