Not the Canada I remember...
Since long before Covid 19 hit our nation, our Government of Canada has continually failed us or at the very least failed to tell us the truth. Canada is known for being a safe, opportunist country where equality reigns and all of our citizens are supportive of one another. We are known for having an excellent healthcare system offering most free public healthcare. Unfortunately when the pandemic hit and for the years to follow so much attention had been drawn to how corrupted and dangerous our political system encapsulates. It shined a bright light on the gravity of their roles as politicians. It highlighted how their decisions could easily have a negative ripple effect that could easily damage or destroy parts of our society. I’m not saying that they should have handled the pandemic differently because truthfully I believe they did what they could with the very limited information on hand. It was a very unprecedented time not just in Canada, but across the world. However, the majority of other decisions that they made, and decisions that are continuing to be made today are the issue. They need to collectively sit back and review their choices thus far, and try to identify what went wrong, so that going forward they could back their choices with integrity and honor. In my experience, politics is a very juvenile, egotistical popularity contest that allows people in power to make the same mistakes over and over again. It allows our leaders to fail us time and time again, failing consistently to honor the positions and the power they carry. Not all politicians are bad, and I do believe there are some that lead because they want to, not for themselves but for our society. The issue is that the good ones are the minority, and they get drowned out in almost every headline.

What is love?
Honestly I kind of think asking what love is, is a really loaded question. It’s an unquantifiable emotion felt everywhere, everyday. Someone once told me that where there is life, there is love. I think the best place to start is by acknowledging that love is so much more than just romance. Love is found through our family, friends, pets, and even through our passions. We have all experienced at least one kind of love in our lives. To think otherwise is naive. Through loving we are able to find happiness, bliss, and a sense of purpose.

Motivation and Achieving Goals; But What's The Cost?
When considering motivation, is efficacy the best metric to use to judge/compare them? Can there be effective and powerful motivators that are dangerous, destructive, or chaotic? And how do emotions help (or hinder?) us in attaining a better understanding of this conundrum?

Can Netflix Do A Good Historical Fiction Adaptation?
At the beginning of this month Netflix released the sequel to one of my favourite movies of 2020, Enola Holmes, cleverly titled Enola Holmes 2. And there seems to be a thing about the second movie in any series that just makes it the best one (I'm not sure what it is but if someone knows please share the secrets).

Isn't It Bromantic?
Summer is the perfect time to kick back and relax with a good book. For me, summer reading has a different feel to it than winter reading. During the winter, I find myself getting cozy with a thrilling adventure or shocking mystery, but during the summer I want to sit by the pool with a nice steamy romance or daring drama. Beach reads, a popular subgenre of books designed to capture the ease of the summer spirit, are often a section of the bookstore that I overlook, but there was something about this book that caught my eye.

Corrupt Workplace
When I first joined Vocal, one of the top stories was a story about how workplace discrimination does not take place. As I was at the time employed at a place that broke that rule yet denies any wrongdoing I could not speak about it. I like many people in Alberta struggled to find work with the onset of the pandemic. Worse yet is I suffer Schizophrenia, Complex PTSD, and Sensory Processing Disorder. Most places of employment dislike hiring people with disabilities due to occurrences that happen. Walmart Canada ultimately did employ me in May 2020. Two months ago I had to leave because the toxic work culture and discrimination was too overwhelming.

What Are the Most Significant Distinctions Between the Healthcare Systems in the United States and Argentina?
The primary distinction between the healthcare systems of the United States and Argentina is that in the United States, individuals pay for their own health care through their employers, while in Argentina, the majority of the responsibility for paying for health care falls on the shoulders of the government. In addition, on average, Americans have access to more comprehensive coverage than Argentines do, and they are free to see specialists without having to worry about the associated costs. In conclusion, despite the fact that both of these healthcare systems have their drawbacks, the American healthcare system appears to be superior in some ways.
