The best of writing, photography, art, and argument – on everything from film to foreign policy.

“Ever dreamed of subscribing to a cultural magazine that doesn’t seem to be eating out of the hand of half a dozen media magnates? Something pluricultural and unassuming but nonetheless covering everything worth seeing, reading, doing or listening to for a season? Well, it exists, and in Canada to boot!”

“There is no on-line version or web site, which either makes John a dinosaur or a man of character. (I opt for the second, since the editorial team occasionally has a kind word for me.)”

John Howe — Canadian artist and co-conceptual designer on all three “The Lord of the Rings” motion pictures.

* Editor’s Note: The age of the dinosaurs has at last come to an end — with the arrival of this website!

Bumpkin of the Week

On May 29, 2018

A political ‘platform’ in ten words or less, from the bumpkin of the week (in the current Ontario election campaign): “You know me, folks. I’m for the little guy.” Moral of the story: If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, then ‘getting tough on crime’ takes second place in any political charlatan’s bag of tricks, with bogus concern for the plight of the common man (or woman) hard on the heels of the first two frauds.
