For weeks, party leaders have been criss-crossing Canadas most populous province in a bid to get the most votes on June 12. Where theyve been and where they havent says a lot about where the parties think they can win. Click on ridings to see total number of campaign stops made by all three parties. If you live in downtown Toronto, Niagara Falls, Kitchener, Peterborough or Ottawa, youve likely had a chance to see one of the three party leaders in action. If you live somewhere else, youre probably out of luck. Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath have been spending most of their time on the campaign trail in the densely populated Greater Toronto Area or one of the cities in southwestern Ontario. Both areas have been fertile ground for Liberals in the past decade, but opposition parties have been chipping away at Grit support there. Eastern Ontario has gotten far less attention, with only occasional visits to Ottawa where there are many swing Liberal-Tory ridings in play. Party leaders have ventured to the north only three times once by Ms. Wynne over three days, and twice by Ms. Horwath. The … Continue reading →

A collection that started as a joke now has a higher purpose. A sculpture at the Icelandic Phallological Museum (Julie Beck) REYKJAVIK Can we stop by the Icelandic Phallological Museum? one twenty-something guy semi-jokingly asks, leaning back in his seat on the bus back from a trip to Icelands Blue Lagoon, a popular geothermal spa. Have you not been? one of his buddies asks. Dude, you have one day leftif you dont go, I will slap you in the face. Whats in there? Some 400-year-old cocks? With signs like, This is how Iceland was made? Having visited a few days prior, I tell them thats not the case. They dont care. They cackle and tell some more off-color jokes. Aside from, you know, heartbreakingly spectacular nature, one of Icelands most unique tourist attractions is what is colloquially known as the Penis Museum, located on Reykjaviks busiest shopping street. It consists of one large room boasting shelves and glass cases filled with the penises of animals ranging in size from whales to hamsterssometimes just the bone, sometimes the whole thing, preserved in formaldehyde. (If you wonder, as I did, What about a Vagina Museum? there is, it seems, an exhibition called … Continue reading →

The next day was to be a brilliant one, a splendid occasion that would glorify the achievements of Austrian rule in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Habsburg heir to the thrones of Austria and Hungary, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, had been eagerly anticipating it for months. He envisioned making a triumphal entry into the city of Sarajevo, attired in his uniform as inspector-general of the Austro-Hungarian army, and accompanied by his wife, the duchess. Sophie would be resplendent in a full-length white dress with red sash tied at the waist, she would hold a parasol to shelter from the sun and a fan to cool her; gloves, furs and a magnificent hat would complete the outfit. The date of Sunday, 28 June had been chosen carefully: it was the anniversary of the battle of Kosovo in 1389, at which the medieval Serbian kingdom had been extinguished by the victorious Turks. Afterwards, Bosnia and Herzegovina remained provinces of the Ottoman empire for almost 500 years, until occupied by Austro-Hungarian forces in 1878 and then annexed in 1908. Thus, on the occasion of the archdukes visit, the Serbs of Bosnia were asked to pay homage to a member of the royal family that blocked the … Continue reading →

Weve all seen it before: a rain-slickered TV reporter clutches his microphone in the midst of an oncoming hurricane, giving up-to-the-minute storm reports, all the while hoping his feet spontaneously sprout roots to keep him grounded. It makes for riveting live TV--in terms of weather reporting, that is. Sadly, these severe weather events are getting more frequent due to climate change. Still, not everyone believes theres something wrong with Mother Earth, or that any of our human actions have any effect on climate. Among these so-called climate change deniers are a number of high-profile U.S. politicians, and in their equivocating or denial on climate change, theyre not necessarily supportive of legislation that could help the situation. Worse, their actions are largely unnoticed--so few Americans dissect the voting records of the Congressmen or Senators that awareness of whos supporting or objecting to environmental policies is low. To bring attention to the widespread apathy toward climate change, nonprofit group 350action and agency Barton F. Graf 9000 got a little personal. Tapping into the meteorological legacy of naming hurricanes after people--thereby marring the good names of unsuspecting Sandys, Irenes and Katrinas everywhere--Climate Name Change told the same storm story, but subbed in the … Continue reading →

With its sadly timeless themes of political tyranny, the fragility of democracy and the intersection of political and personal abuse, Ariel Dorfman's drama "Death and the Maiden" certainly feels ripe for revival. The widely acclaimed work by the Argentine-Chilean scribe was a global hit in the early 1990s, premiering at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 1991, and then showing up on Broadway with Glenn Close and Richard Dreyfus. Roman Polanski made a movie version in 1994 with Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley. In New York, if you were to attempt such a revival on Broadway today, you'd surely need a star in the central role of Paulina, long a favorite of top-tier actors and a character whose past includes torture and whose present, she fears, might well include her torturer. You'd need a name like, oh, Sandra Oh, the Canadian actress who, for a decade, has played Cristina Yang on the ABC drama "Grey's Anatomy." In Chicago, though, that necessity would not apply. Although it happens from time to time, big stars don't generally show up at the city's nonprofit houses, which are not known for making performers rich or even offering the publicity that accompanies a nice, … Continue reading →
