The Handmaid’s Tale by Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, is a prime example of what a daytime horror is all about. Hopefully it doesn’t become a work of prophecy. It is frightening to think that some group might want to bring this book out of fiction into reality. The Handmaid’s Tale is a strong warning about absolute power getting into the …
Moosemeat and Marmalade is a television series that’s every bit as funny as it’s name. With true Canadian humor, it matches a First Nation forest foraging chef with a prim and proper British chef, and it’s a recipe for hilarity. The show stars skilled naturalist and campfire chef, Art Napoleon, and classically trained British chef, Dan Hayes. It’s a half …

It appears being busy speeding through life has become a cult in the last few years. Yet, people don’t question themselves on what they’re involved with or why they do the things they do. Stuff like being put on hold over the phone for an undetermined time period. Or stuck in traffic for three hours to drive what normally takes …
