Trudeau Under Fire.. Gen Y Debate.. RIM Rocks

Friday, November 23, 2012 Generation Y Is Lazy, Angry, Not To Blame: Readers Debate Earlier this week we launched Asking Y, our series looking at Canada's Millennial Generation. Our first feature was shared on Twitter and Facebook more than a thousand times and many conversations were sparked in the comment thread. This a collection of the best responses. RIM Shares SOAR 2010 Remarks Come Back To Haunt Trudeau Earlier Than Ever Alberta Trustee Sorry For Saying Gay Kids Should Act Less Gay When We'll Learn His Fate BLOG POSTS Bessma Momani: The Real Winner of Israel vs. Gaza? Syria's Bashar al-Assad Analysts and pundits will be all over themselves trying to find a "winner" in this conflict between Gaza and Israel. While the world's cameras and attention were turned to Gaza and Israel (and rightfully so), the Syrian regime sustained its killing of Syrians at the usual pace of over 100 civilians per day.

Tarek Fatah: For Malala: The Girl who Scared the Taliban We did it! After tens of thousands of Canadians and even more people from around the world signed my petition on Change.org, we got every single party leader to get behind the campaign to unanimously nominate Malala Yousufzai for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.

I think as we get older we really grow to appreciate the qualities of good friends as something truly special. And yet, how often do we pause to really appreciate our friendships? Karen Geier: Your Start-Up Business: Scaling the Mountain This week, I spoke with Tara Hunt of Buyosphere about her experiences nurturing her company to life. Tara has been a fixture in the start-up world and it only seemed natural that at some point, she would go out on her own and start her own business. She had the experience, and the connections, but she still had a rocky road to travel to get funded and beyond. Rachel Décoste: Harper Supports Malala, Shuns her Sisters Worldwide Prime Minister Stephen Harper hopped on the Malala Yousafzai bandwagon by signing a petition to nominate the schoolgirl for the Nobel Peace prize. But Harper's singular gesture will never buy respect from the advocates of fairness, equality and human decency. Only policy reversals can deliver that miracle.
