Verdi's AidaProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
January 26, 2011
(Cairo) For a long time, opera Aida was on my to-see list. So I was pleased last week to find out that it was performing at the Cairo Opera House, only few steps from my hotel. The performance was to mark the 140th anniversary of its first performance in Cairo in 1871. The two hour performance was a delight.

"Punch Drunk Wives: for many women there is more to dementia than just getting older." That was the title of a presentation by Carleton University social work professor Roy Hanes before a meeting of SWAG (Social Workers in Aging and Gerontology) held in Ottawa on February 19.
Visiting Brunei the Abode of PeaceProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
January 16, 2014
Several reasons motivated me to visit Brunei. It is oil rich, tiny, safe, not touristy, has a Malay Islamic culture and a beautiful nature. Two more: (1) Its head of state Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah is a graduate of Egypt's Al Azhar and (2) Brunei is ranked in the top ten of the happiest country in the world along with Canada. Literacy rate here is among the highest in the world at about 95%.

June 3, 2010

Waking up from the election to the elephant in the roomDr. John McMurtry
May 5, 2011
The most important new political landscape emerging from Canada's election has not been comprehended. The Harper majority, the collapse of the Liberal vote, and Quebec's re-entry into federal politics through a social democratic party are political turns that have caught attention.
WANTED - A psychiatric diagnosis of Nazi holocaust denialAlan Hart
February 17, 2013
While I was reading some of the responses on various web sites to my last post (Understanding the real significance TODAY of the Nazi holocaust), the following question occurred to me. Does it really matter HOW Jews were exterminated in Nazi concentration camps? Even if you chose to believe that gas chambers were not part and parcel of the Nazi extermination programme, there is irrefutable evidence that Jews were shot, hanged, burned, injected and starved to death and, also, that many died from diseases that were only terminal because of the conditions of their incarceration.
Wanting a good death?Reuel S. Amdur
May 23, 2018
People may make application for medically-assisted death. Yet, we attempt to prevent people from committing suicide. Let's imagine the case of someone turned down for medically-assisted death. The person then commits suicide.
War criminal cancels speaking engagementScott Stockdale
March 26, 2012
Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has demonstrated over and over that he has no qualms about putting others in harm's way, but - as his cancelling of his Toronto appearance illustrates - he's willing to take very little risk with his own safety.
