How I’m Building One of Earth’s Largest Drone Imaging Networks
Growing up near the mountains of Calgary, and later Vancouver, I was passionate about the natural world. Flying seemed like the best way to explore it and to me, helicopters were the ultimate flying machines. I remember thinking: If that were my job, I’d never work a day again.

Is ‘based on a true story’ a film fib?
Historical films and films based on true stories are a staple of the film industry. In these strange times of fake news, the importance of accuracy in such films is a pertinent discussion. Film is in the business of escapism, transporting us away and connecting us with that world and its characters. Deviations from accuracy is a device sometimes used to create such a connection. Often, the importance of accuracy to a film depends on the type of film.

Written by Alec Wilson• 17th February 2020• Comment Ireland’s general election results from 8 February 2020 rocked the Irish political landscape.

Was Dorothy Wick In 'Mrs Wilson' A Real Person? She Was One Of Many Women Deceived By Alec Wilson

What passes for a crazy weekend at U of T, Canada's tamest party school
Maclean’s ranked the top party schools in Canada, and the University of Toronto, where students spend a little more than 2 hours on average partying per week (one student reported a high of 40), came dead last. According to our campus correspondent, his most recent weekend was spent hiding from security visiting his residence at 11:45 p.m. looking for open liquor, leaving a “dull” party at 1 a.m., and staying up till 3 a.m. Sunday to do his reading for Monday.
“Trust no one” - The Varsity
Spanning a series of glass-doored rooms in the spire of the Munk School of Global Affairs’ location at the former Dominion Meteorological Building, Ron Deibert’s Citizen Lab bears a tongue-in-cheek resemblance to images of Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon.
