No Life Like It

This Week’s Articles of Interest

Reading the news is something I have become accustomed to doing over the years. Before I started the magazine, I read a lot of books. While my booking reading is limited today, I am now an avid news reader and spend a significant portion of my day scrolling, searching, visiting online news sites. I also listen to BBC News during the day. The radio station I listen to while I work has BBC news breaks.

Hence, when we went into our second and third lockdown in Ontario, I was not surprised as I had learned what was happening in other countries. I thought I would start sharing five stories I found interesting each week from other media outlets. With our team being very small, we can’t cover topics this broad.

The articles are vastly different. I thought they were well-written and informative.

Belarus Plane Incident

I was working while this was happening, and it left me astonished. To the depths, a country will go. That is all I am going to write. This is an ongoing story as countries discuss and continue to issue sanctions on Belarus. Read the article here.
