Dark Facts You Didn’t Know About The Elite Four
The most difficult part of any Pokémon journey happens when the player has finished traveling the region and has acquired all of the Gym Badges. Once a trainer has all of the badges, then they have earned the right to challenge the Elite Four. These are the four most powerful trainers in the region and they will show you no mercy in battle. The Elite Four always have the advantage over the player, as you are expected to fight them (followed by the Champion) without being able to heal your Pokémon.
Pokémon Cards That Had To Be Changed In America (And Some That Were BANNED!)
It’s a testament to the amazing design of the Pokémon Trading Card Game that so few cards have ever been banned or censored across its existence. Magic: The Gathering had to impose a ban list almost immediately, due to the strength of the Power Nine (we’re looking at you Black Lotus), while Yu-Gi-Oh! was almost ruined by a card called Yatagarasu. That stupid bird ruined so many tournaments that the ban list had to be created to stop it.
Addressing reconciliation with empathy
It has been 10 years since the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted on Sept. 13, 2007. As such, Montreal’s city council chose Sept. 13 to mark the addition of an Iroquois symbol to its city flag. The city also committed to renaming Amherst Street—named after British general Jeffrey Amherst, who advocated for the use of biological warfare against Indigenous peoples in 1763.
Dealing with terrorism and empathy in a climate of fear
Are Middle Eastern lives worthless in the eyes of the Western world? On New Year’s Day, 2017, a gunman entered a nightclub in Istanbul’s Be?ikta? district. Seven minutes later, 39 people lay dead and the attacker escaped into the crowd. I learned of this attack through Twitter. However, I was hard pressed to find any other concrete information from major news sources. A Canadian even died in this ISIS attack and yet barely a passing glance was made. Why is this?
Iran’s dark history of imprisoning foreigners
Dr. Homa Hoodfar is not the first to be detained by the Revolutionary Guard This article was originally written as a protest for the immediate release of Dr. Homa Hoodfar—an Iranian-Canadian professor of anthropology at Concordia—from Evin prison in Iran. However, as of Monday, Sept. 26, 2016, I am pleased to say that she has been released. Still, Professor Hoodfar’s ordeal can provide us with an opportunity to discuss Iran’s alarming trend of human rights abuses and socio-political oppression.
