June 30, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

How do Canadians celebrate the nation's birthday? Most likely kicking back and enjoying the warmer weather with friends and family.

Arcade Fire – Reflektor

September 10, 2013 by Tracey Leave a Comment

Oh my, Arcade Fire - you knock me out, again and again... I love a catchy tune as much as the next person - pop is pop, dance music is excellent... always. But when artists like these make music all disco and (sometimes) French-ish and wonderful, I can't help but swoon. If you didn't know, the … [Read more...]

Bilingualism and Art

April 11, 2012 by Racheal

There are advantages to being a Canadian.  One of them, for me anyway, is being able to speak French.  And while I use the term "speak French" very loosely, it has come in handy. For example, when interviewing a talented and handsome young dancer from French Guyana, it helped to put him at … [Read more...]
