Over the next hundred years, Chatbots.org CEO Erwin Van Lun expects different languages to meld in to one global language.

Raised in politics

When she was seven, Emma Abramowicz’s father campaigned for both the federal and provincial NDP candidates in her riding and she and her brother went with him. She now admits that might have been to partially spare him from dealing with the occasional rude response.

“In retrospect, I would imagine that having children at his side would make it less likely for people to slam the door in his face,” she said.
Growing up, politics was both dinner table conversation and a passion.

Young and Green

In a country known for having a low voter turnout in recent elections, some youth set a better example through early engagement in politics.
Jonathan Halasz, 19, has already actively participated in two elections as a Green party supporter. In the general election last month, Halasz worked as youth coordinator for the Green party.

The porn industry has flourished since the advent of the Internet, and it is one of the fastest growing industries out there.
