I always thought it was lame, especially this scene when Douglas tears the clothes off and basically rapes Jeanne Tripplehorn. If Gen-X men have doubts about what everyone means by "rape culture" this movie, and countless like it of the era are a place to start looking. Anyway, cultural criticism aside, I do tear into my cupcakes much like Douglas tore off Tripplehorn's clothes.

Za'atar is a combination of crushed oregano, thyme, marjoram, and toasted sesame seeds. You mix with olive oil and spread over the flatbread (manakeesh). I eat this almost daily now and don't know how I lived so long without it. In Canada, Superstore carries the Za'atar spice mix. I eat it on naan bread.https://edmundksaunders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/shawarma.jpgShawarmaShawarma.

It is a multi-media telling of the true story of Charlie Wenjack, a twelve-year old boy who died in 1966 while trying to walk home from the residential school to the home he had been snatched from 400 miles away.https://edmundksaunders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/chinese-head-tax-receipt.jpgchinese-head-tax-receiptThrough the 1880s thousands of Chinese labourers were brought from China to construct the Canadian Pacific Railway. They were paid a third of what their co-workers were paid, and when the job was done, the Canadian government ensured they would not stay by imposing a head tax to immigrate, which they couldn't pay because they were paid exploitation wages. A formal Canadian apology and redress for survivors was made in 2006.https://edmundksaunders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/komogata-maru-arrivals.jpgkomogata-maru-arrivalsIn 1914, the SS Komagata Maru landed arrived on the west coast of Canada carrying 376 passengers, all British subjects from India of Sikh, Hindu, and Muslim backgrounds. Of these, 26 were allowed to enter Canada and the others were sent back. They were treated by the British as political agitators upon arrival back in India and arrested for the entirety of the First World War. Canada has officially apologized for this incident. https://edmundksaunders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ms-st-louis.jpgms-st-louisThe MS St Louis arrived at a Canadian port of call in 1939 with 908 Jewish passengers fleeing the Holocaust. They were denied entry, sent back to Europe and, it was later learned, a quarter of them died in German death camps during World War II. https://edmundksaunders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/carla-williams-scooped-up-and-sent-to-denmark.jpgcarla-williams-scooped-up-and-sent-to-denmarkCarla Williams, "scooped up" from her parents as a child and shipped off to "more suitable" parents in the Netherlands.https://edmundksaunders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/fingers-pointed-at-the-different-one.jpgfingers-pointed-at-the-different-one2018-04-08T05:11:00+00:00monthlyhttps://edmundksaunders.com/2015/03/10/stop-hamster-time/https://edmundksaunders.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/prefrontal-cortex.jpgPrefrontal CortexPre-frontal Cortex.
