In recent years Identity Politics have been forcibly inserted into our Media, Education, Legal, and even Governmental systems. This has been done for the same reason it always is, divide and conquer. The only way for us the free citizens of Canada can win this game is not to play. The year I turned 25,... Continue Reading →

Let us be the example to our children of what is possible for humanity when people of reason and good will work together in good faith."

At Mahim Junction in Mumbai, India interviewing two Canadian tourists on the Dharavi slum tour.
‘Slum tourism’ exists in many parts of the world and draws huge numbers of visitors, seeking to get a glimpse into the lives of the urban poor. But is it a modern version of a curiosity show or can it really help the community?
I put this story together while backpacking through India in early 2015.
