Our editor finds a video clip of Dan L. Hays talking about a powerful dream he had which he incorporated into his book, Freedom’s Just Another Word. Dan grew up as the child of alcoholic parents and his healing journey has inspired so many others who have been through similar experiences.
Douglas Coupland as a Massey Lecturer? Cool.
Past Massey lecturers have included Stephen Lewis, crusader in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa; R.C.

Stories that Light Up the Dark
The experiences of our ancestors offer us wisdom for surviving today’s crises.
All Bets Are Off
I walk into the once inviting lobby of this Halifax water front hotel and am immediately assailed by the reek of tobacco, stale beer and a hint of unwashed flesh.
