Ecologik -- For Egypt and our world
Global warming didn't pause at all during Cairo's recent rebirth. In fact, every month of inaction on Earth's climate emergency makes recovery that much harder and costlier.

Don't miss this exhibition of Palestinian children's art!
The Vancouver Child's View from Gaza Committee is very excited to bring to Vancouver A Child's View from Gaza, an exhibition of 25 children's art pieces. These pieces are part of the 75-piece exhibition that was created in 2009 by the children of Gaza who witnessed the destruction of Operation Cast Lead and who participated in after-school children's therapy programs. "Cast Lead," Israel's December 2008/January 2009 attack on a virtually unarmed Gaza, killed 1400 Palestinians, including more than 350 children.

A level playing field: The commodification of play
In the city of Toronto, one of the options for play is a kid-friendly coffee shop that offers a play area. Let's call it "FunSpot." When I first heard of FunSpot I thought, "What a great idea." But then I discovered that, on top of the premium cost of your hot beverage, there is a fee to access the toys, the little slide, and the rubber mats -- all of it cordoned off from the coffee bar by a friendly-looking little gate. FunSpot functions almost like an indoor park, which is fantastic in the winter months, especially if your child is too young to skate or can't even walk. But do not mistake this for a public space.
