Canada Customs has decided to infringe upon our rights to freedom of expression to protect us from “obscene” literature.

A book promoting the preservation of nature in modern society had its official launch at the Ottawa Public Library last Wednesday.

Three canvases on easels sit by the left wall of the small apartment, leaving little space to walk in and adding life and colour to the white living room. Hues of blue, green and yellow draw the eyes to the portraits in progress, while Christan Nicholson, master artist and 27-year resident of Centretown, points to them and speaks passionately about his work and himself as a portratist.

Tears stream down the faces of audience members during opening night of the play “Wingfield on Ice.” Most from uncontrollable laughter, but some due to touching emotional scenes about birth and death.
