If Managua Can Do It, Toronto Can Too

If Managua Can Do It, Toronto Can Too

Written by: Michael Kravshik. Public transit in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, is going completely digital this August. The entire city’s bus fleet is getting rid of the cash and coin payment system in favour of an electronic one with pre-paid cards.

The Power of Subtlety

The Power of Subtlety

Written by: Michael Kravshik. Reporting on facts can be an amazingly subjective activity. As contradictory as this statement seems, its veracity seems hardly arguable to anyone who follows the news on a consistent basis.

This Land is My Land, This Land is Your Land

Written by: Michael Kravshik. Do nations deserve land rights? I’m not talking about countries with modern political borders, nor am I debating individual private land ownership.
