Everyone knows of Victor Frankenstein and the story of his created monster. His iconic green face and metallic neck plugs from the movie production are legendary, especially around Halloween season. Mary Shelley's novel from 1823 is such an exciting classic to revisit.
From the archives: In 2012, students across the country organized a National Day of Action on February 1. In the lead-up to the day, I wrote a series of posts prompting students to get active in the fight for Education as a right for themselves and the generations of students coming after them. I am re-publishing these posts in the wake of Doug Ford's attack on students' unions in Ontario, the only organized and well-resourced force that has historically resisted tuition fee increases and funding cuts to post-secondary education.

'Le tout dernier roman d'Éric Dupont, La route du lilas, publié l'automne dernier, a la qualité d'être prometteur. Deux femmes, une Québécoise et une Brésilienne, se rencontrent à Paris juste avant les évènements de mai 1968. Elles se lient d'amour, découvrent ensemble la ville, la littérature, et certaines douleurs de la vie. Ce roman épique, qui tangue de la France au Brésil, et de Nashville à la Gaspésie, est un hommage aux personnages féminins grandioses, ainsi qu'à la fleur peu commune qu'est le lilas.'
'Alors que les intempéries ragent et que les catastrophes climatiques empirent, les humains s'entêtent avec leur arrogance tenace. Ils rient devant une nature déchaînée et imprévisible. Ils se baignent dans des eaux infestées de requins luminescents. En quête de sensations fortes, ils défient les règles et entrent dans une fosse aux lions. Ils se prélassent dans un spa-nature en pleine pluie torrentielle. Voilà le monde de Faunes.'
'Despite receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from those who have actually seen it, The Occupation of the American Mind has been repeatedly attacked and misrepresented by right-wing pressure groups and outright ignored by virtually all mainstream media outlets and North American film festivals. To bypass this campaign of misrepresentation and suppression, we've decided to make the film available for FREE online so that people can make up their own minds about its analysis of U.S. media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Please watch and share widely!'
From May 2018: “It's pretty hard getting paid in Venezuela,” Christian Brown, president of SNC-Lavalin's oil and gas business, said in an interview at a Houston energy conference. “We've done no work recently in Venezuela.”
'What the congresswoman said is very uncontroversial. Everyone knows AIPAC is an extremely intimidating lobby, just like the NRA is. There's nothing wrong with pointing that out. There's certainly nothing anti-Semitic about saying that, about criticizing the Israeli government for its aggression and militarism. And anybody who cares about Palestinians and about the ability of Muslims in the United States to be able to speak freely ought to be defending her.'
