Save Herbalists from ‘Alternative Medicine’
Leave a commentOct 23, 2017 by Rua Lupa
The problem is that there is a conflation between ‘alternative medicine’ and ‘medicine’, and along with that, that ‘alternative medicine’ is even an acknowledged term to begin with.

Millennial Reality Check
Leave a commentAug 23, 2017 by Rua Lupa
When viewing these I frequently internally laugh with the thought of “so long” because these industries that are crying havoc are really just being revealed as the unnecessary things that they are and will not be missed.
The claims of demise I did find odd were,

Where Rapists Come From
Leave a commentMay 31, 2017 by Rua Lupa
It needs to be remembered that while rapists should not be excused from their actions – they should also not be treated as forever damaged or purely evil, but as someone who needs help to get on a better track of mind with regards to consent.

Political Pragmatist Rant
Leave a commentMay 3, 2017 by Rua Lupa
Funny thing, I may agree with the vast majority of Progressive, Liberal, ‘Leftist’, Socialist, ideas. But damn it, I am a pragmatist. Waving Banners and Yelling your ideas and expecting instant results is no way to get what you want…

Open Letter To Liberals & Canadians On Electoral Reform
Leave a commentFeb 4, 2017 by Rua Lupa
So far I have been very please with Justin Trudeau, until the back peddling with fixing the Election system. In that I agree we Canadians need to put his feet to the fire – and I am not going to be whining about a pet system being the only good system – any of the proportional systems, and Alternative Vote systems are a vast improvement to the First Past the Post system.

Canadian Reaction To Trump Presidency
5Nov 9, 2016 by Rua Lupa
To say I am disheartened by the outcome of this election would be a vast understatement. I am not only afraid, but genuinely disturbed. I’ve lost faith in a large portion of Americans..

American may face charges for spearing Canadian bear
Leave a commentAug 17, 2016 by Rua Lupa
‘American may face charges for spearing Canadian bear’ is the headline of a BBC article about an American who legally spear hunted a bear, filmed it, put it on youtube (which has a lot of hunting videos of that nature), got a lot of flak online, which resulted in the Alberta officials planning to ban spear hunting of bears. The American in question had since taken the video down because of death threats – yes, people are so upset of someone legally killing a bear that they threaten to kill the hunter. Sound hypocritical much?
