Smog Denial

As published in Ottawa Citizen: October 21, 2011.

Our urban culture remains mired in a dangerously auto-centric mindset supported by the ease and convenience of personal automobile use. By employing deep denial, the motorists who exacerbate the health risks of smog continue to exercise their prerogative for personal mobility at the cost of other peoples’ health.

THE CANADIAN COUNCIL OF CHIEF EXECUTIVES: NORTHERN OLIGARCHY

Humanist Perspectives: Spring 2011 and National Library of Australia

Why does the Canada’s most influential and powerful business lobby group rate only three mentions in a mainstream newspaper like the Ottawa Citizen throughout 2010?

As published in the Ottawa Citizen: Dec. 2, 2010

The theory states that overturning established arrangements between the cartels and the previous government has led to power struggles and enhanced violence. The answer, therefore, lies in reforming the Mexican government.
