On the Canadian Budget of 2025
In Canada, a national budget is passed every year to control the federal government’s spending for the next fiscal year. Since the budget covers spending for the next fiscal year, it is normally announced before the budgeting year starts (which is from April 1st to March 31st in Canada), though, due to Mark Carney being sworn in only a few weeks prior as Prime Minister of Canada, the development of a new budget was pushed to later in the year. Historically, budgets have had a

The economic and social consequences of corruption: The South American case.
When we think about corruption, we tend to see it as just an issue of morality and compliance with the law, about a politician taking advantage of his position in the structures of government to get more personal wealth, stealing from the people they are meant to serve and represent and, in the case of democratic countries, got them to power through the popular vote in the first place.

How Social Media Shapes Modern Activism
Scroll long enough on Instagram or Tiktok, and you’ll stumble into a mini-protest; a stitched video calling out injustice, or a trending hashtag fighting for attention between memes and matcha cookie recipes. Activism today is very different from 30 years ago, it doesn’t start with a march or revolution but with a swipe, post or comment. Social media hasn’t just changed how we communicate; but rewired how we fight for change. Depending on who you ask, it’s either the greates

Gucci: A Century of Reinventionand Style
Gucci’s story reads like a mixtape that somehow blends old-school elegance with relentless reinvention — a brand that’s been strutting through the fashion world for over a century without losing its spark. Founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci in Florence, the company began not with glittering runways but with leather goods inspired by the refined travelers Guccio observed while working in London hotels. He took that vibe — the polished luggage, the effortless class — and brought i

The Nutrien Shutdown in Trinidad and Tobago
Nutrien, a global giant in nitrogen fertilisers, announced its controlled shutdown of operations in the Republic of Trinidad in October of 2025. This has led to the unemployment of approximately 600 workers within the country. The decision was made due to the intractable impasse with Trinidad’s National Energy Corporation (NEC) and related disputes over port access fees, compounded by unreliable and uneconomic natural gas supply. While such industrial closures are seldom isol
