Letâs be smart
What makes one personâs opinions more valuable than another? Why should some people get paid for their thoughts on entertainment, economics, and world news when other people can barely get an audience?

âThe Interviewâ aftermath
Terrorist threats, computer hackers, and harsh critics have all failed in killing The Interview this holiday season.
Canucks quarter mark grade
Although Iâm hesitant to give the Canucks an âAâ grade for the first quarter of the season, I cannot deny that they have exceeded expectations. The Sedins look to have found the spark that made them league leaders in bygone years, and with secondary contributions from the likes of Nick Bonino, Alexandre Burrows, and Chris Higgins, Vancouver supporters are hopeful that the production will continue at the same rate, if not better.
So this is Christmas and what have you done?
Itâs been said over and over again, yet every year I still see aisle upon aisle of useless garbage in department stores and super markets. The annual exchange of knick-knacks and thingamajigs is the primary reason I get rather turned off by peopleâs behaviour this holiday season.

Stop hijacking my phone!
Most people have probably seen the Shaw commercial with the two little robots and the dog. Even I can admit that itâs adorable. It makes me smile every time it comes on. Unfortunately, itâs advertising the most annoying Wi-Fi network known to man! That is, unless, you subscribe to it.

Up-and-coming startup, Sweet Peach Probiotics recently went under scrutiny for creating a product aimed to âfreshen upâ womenâs smelly vaginas.
Harper governmentâs brand management cheapens us

While such an exercise is worthy for a company or a freelancer, Iâm not convinced that the same could be applied for national governments
Off the Depp end
The viral video of Johnny Depp slurring his words and swaying on stage at the Hollywood Film Awards reminded me that the only reason we care for award showsâi.e., other peopleâs successâis when in the process of acknowledging their success they embarrass themselves.
