Me, the Muslim Next Door's Suad Bushnaq out on a Montreal street canvassing for Doctors without Borders.  Photo Credit: ww.rcinet.caSo I’ve got to know a handful of the Muslim youth featured in Me, the Muslim Next Door, a visually delightful, intellectually satisfying online series produced by RCI (Radio-Canada International).

I’ve met Rizwan, the dedicated Canadian of Pakistani origin who has traveled across the country to hear the experiences of Muslim youth first hand, watched him model two very different outfits that represent both East and West. I’ve looked at university student Suad’s wedding photos, watched her canvass for Doctors without Borders all while dealing with a few rude stares at her hijab (headscarf).

Marriage is a sacred bond between husband and wife. The Quran speaks about husbands and wives being garments to each other, saying: "Your wives are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them." (Ch.2, v.187)

Think about it. What is a garment? It covers you. It protects you from the elements. It can make you feel beautiful. It is a source of warmth and comfort. But what if your garment is made out of thorns? Thorns dig into your flesh. They hurt you and draw blood. This is what domestic violence does to a marriage. It changes the comfortable garment into a pain-filled thorn-ridden garment.

Art work by Grade 5 students at Abraar School protesting the proposed development at Beaver Pond. The students recently took a field trip to the March Highlands to explore unique biodiversity of the area. Photo Credit: Amira ElghawabyFor many years now local Algonquin First Nations and local residents have been struggling to win an important debate about whether one of the last green areas in all of Ottawa should remain untouched or be developed.

Clear-cutting has started on the Beaver Pond forest in Kanata to make way for development.  Members of the First Nations and local residents want it stopped and fast.

When I first heard about the Beaver Pond construction I decided to do some research. I watched a couple of videos about how important it is to preserve our few habitats for Ottawa’s natural animals and wildlife. I was awed by the beauty of the Beaver Pond forest. I was angered because of what would become of it if we don’t do something about it.

Nearly a quarter of Ontarians surveyed say they would catch up on their sleep.

Caught in the time crunch? With the clocks about to “fall back” and give Ontarians a precious extra hour for one day, Big Brothers Big Sisters and FedEx Express Canada are asking people in the province and across Canada to join them on Facebook to discuss how they would use a single hour to make the world a better place.

To start the dialogue, the two organizations asked Angus Reid to poll people about their time priorities, and the results show just how over worked, stressed out and time crunched Ontarians actually are.

Photo credit: http://naata.orgA university education is a worthwhile investment — and an expensive one. Most students need some form of financial help to be able to attend university.

“Twenty-five or 30 years ago a student could earn enough through summer or part-time jobs to pay their way through university, but that is not often the case today,” says Rick Robertson, a professor in the Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario in London. “Tuition is going up faster than inflation.”
