Alesso and One Republic - If I Lose Myself

Another killer track that is on repeat! It is a little old for my house heads out there who keep up to date. The vocal and synth combo is amazing in this song and really fun to sing a long to. Enjoy :)

Why am I NOT Canadian?

I was born on Canadian soil. I have a Canadian birth certificate. I have a Canadian passport, a health card, driver's license and a social insurance number all issued by the Canadian Federal and or Provincial government of Ontario. By this point you must be wondering how Canadian can this kid get but the truth is very few so-called "Canadians" see me as Canadian. I'm always asked, "where are you from?" and when I reply I was born and raised in Canada it is immediately followed up with, "No no no, where are you really from?" No really, in case you didn't get it the first time I am FROM CANADA! Why is that so hard to believe? What makes it difficult for me to be seen as a Canadian? When people talk about celebrating Canadian diversity, multiculturalism, ethnic pluralism, and any other fancy term you want to use, what are they really talking about? When we consistently point to Canada's absence of identity why is there a clear distinctio

It also highlights how the priority for Canadian immigration officers on the ground in Kampala was to accept all those who were stateless. One of the largest misconceptions about the arrival of Ugandan Asian refugees is the commonly repeated statement that they were all Ismaili Muslims. It was even repeated by the current Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, when discussing past major refugee resettlements in Canadian history.  [0:58 in the video] Although, the Prime Minister does not openly say all Ugandan Asian refugees were Ismailis, he doe

Hello blog world,  As part of a research project jointly funded between Western University and the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, we've been working on a couple project involving the reverse engineering of analog devices. Safe to say, that means we've been working with old musical or computational devices and try to recreate them in a digital format. In this case, we've focused on trying to create a representation of Hugh Le Caine's Sonde using a program called Max . Like many of you, I had never heard of Hugh Le Caine until I started working on this project. I must also thank Professor William Turkel for his endless encouragement and motivation throughout this process and for originally getting me involved with the research. Le Caine was in fact one of the leading Canadian pioneer's in the field of electronic music. Born in 1914 and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Le Caine held a steadfast attraction to music and science. Although he enro
