  • Remembering The Battle of Vimy Ridge

    As a former student and History Major, I always mark April 9th as a special day of remembering Canada’s contribution and sacrifice of the Canadian troops who gave their lives during the second world war and therefore allowed the people like myself and my sibling to have the freedoms and luxuries to enjoy almost 100 years later! This day should never go by unacknowledged by the hard-fought war of these soldiers, on the Battle of Vimy Ridge; I just wanted to recognized their sacrifice for our freedoms!

  • Margaret Thatcher The iron lady was one-of-a-kind RIP

    This morning, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher passed away, from a stroke.  She was a true statesman and conservative icon; her leadership was not only an example for her fellow countrymen, but for generations of political leaders on both sides of the Atlantic who were inspired by her resolve.

    Moreover, this is a time to reflect upon the successes and reforms that Thatcher did achieve during her time in office. Thatcher was one of the driving forces behind the end of communism; as well a vigorous defender of the morality of freedom and free markets.  That alone makes her one of the greatest Prime Ministers since Winston Churchill. For all that the iron lady accomplished in her life that is why she is one-of-a-kind.
