This blog is a result of many students wishing to delve into topics lightly discussed due to curricular demands but would like to investigate further. I am fortunate to teach students who want to challenge conventional wisdom and seek further discourse as a way to empower themselves to help shape the world they live in.

Debate 2.0: Will Rio+20 add up to anything?
20 years have passed since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazi. The world is about to meet again and will anything change? Interesting article and perspectives on the upcoming summit. What are the main issues? Who is willing to change, who isn't to protect the planet? Would love to hear your voice on these matters and the article can be found here. As well, take a listen to our very own David Suzuki's daugter in a short but powerful speech which can be accessed here. I wonder what she is thinking now that she is a grown woman 20 years later....
Caveman blogger fights for Free Speech and Internet Freedom
We have studied how our rights can be taken away due to 'terrorism' or some form of internal/external threat but what about our speech? Interesting story on how one State has recently stifled those rights. What defense would the state use? Why? How do you see the issue? Is this an illiberal act? Why, why not? The source can be found here.
