Last September, what is probably my favourite television show of all time came to an end. After some 25 years of working together, Jeremy Clarkson , Richard Hammond, and, my favourite host, James ‘Captain Slow’ May finally parted ways, first on the BBC’s motoring programme Top Gear, and later on its spiritual successor The GrandContinue…

Theirs might’ve been one of the first pieces of music I ever heard. And yet, despite knowing them all my life, it’s only todayContinue…

I’d rather dreamOf snow-sprinkled dawns and little wooden bridgesOn rickety dashboards against distant Rocky ridgesOr silvery Citibank lights twinkling with Manhattan trepidationOr a glittering London with SkyTrain stations.’ ButContinue…

In the southwest corner of Saskatchewan, there exists a rural municipality known to Statistics Canada as Reno No. 51. It lies six hours south of my hometown, Calgary, which, in the vast expanse of the Canadian Prairies, is but a short jog away. Neither is it particularly far away from the various population centres inContinue…
