Here in Canada, we just had an election. In reviewing the candidates’ names on the ballet, it occurred to me that some people might not see the connection between voting for a local representative, and who ends up premier or prime minister. But it’s true: they’re connected. Here’s how the pieces fit together.

Every year at New Year’s, I take a break from the usual topics I write about for the sake of documenting my goals for the upcoming year. While I know many folks don’t believe in setting goals for the New Year (“You should be doing that all the time”), I find it’s a helpful prompt for me to reflect on the past year, and what I might want to achieve or do differently in the upcoming one. With that said, here are five thigs I’d like to accomplish in 2024.

As 2022 comes to an end, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the posts I created this past year, and highlight the five I'm most proud of. This list isn't a list of the posts that got the most views; it's a list of the posts I felt the best about out of all of the ones I created in 2022.

Nobody wants to think about dying. But as I wrote about in an earlier post, it’s super-important to make sure you have a will in place before you do, even if you’re young. Otherwise, things may not play out the way you thought they would. In that earlier post, I outlined why it’s so important to have a will, but was a little light on details around what happens if you don’t. Here are a few examples of how things could play out in that scenario.

Earlier this year, research from Gartner predicted that 25% of people – that’s 1 in 4 – will spend at least an hour a day in the Metaverse by 2026. Recently, I saw a stat that claimed that a big chunk of the population believe that number could be as high as 4 hours a day. There’s no denying that being able to gather in a virtual world can offer some really cool benefits – taking hybrid work to a whole new level, for example – but with all the buzz around the Metaverse these days, I wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts around the darker side of a virtual world.

Up until recently, I was that guy who joked around that I got my daily water intake through a combination of coffee and/or beer, depending on the day. I’d always been really, really bad at drinking enough water… that is, until one of my family members started talking about the immediate benefits they saw from drinking 8 cups a day. On his – and my wife’s – insistence, I started doing the same. Here are some of the things I experienced.

I’ve been struggling a bit with sleep lately. Some nights, I’d have trouble falling asleep; other nights, I’d get to sleep, but toss and turn through the night. Often, I’d wake up with pain in either my neck, my upper back, or my lower back. Sometimes all three. It’s not just about the joys of aging; there are things you can do to improve the quality of sleep you get, and to wake up without feeling like you aged 30 years overnight. Here are a few tips for getting a better night’s sleep that worked for me!

This is our second pandemic Thanksgiving, after the first was effectively cancelled. In honour of being able to get back to some semblance of normal this year, I thought I’d head into the weekend having made a list of some of the things I’m most thankful for right now.

I was disappointed to see that ours was the only house on the street with an orange shirt hanging in the window yesterday. For those who don’t live in Canada, or who do live in Canada but have been living under a rock, yesterday was the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a federal statutory holiday that was created to honour both the lost children and survivors of residential schools.
