Daniel Aldana Cohen: September 2007
http://aldanacohen.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Toronto homeless beaten, raped. Today, the Toronto Star and CBC (and likely others) covered a health survey of Toronto's homeless population. The Star buried. The detail below, and the 60-second CBC news report didn't mention it (reporting substance abuse rates instead). But it strikes me as a pretty shocking detail:. And, in the past year, one in three [homeless people] has been beaten and one in five women has been raped. Posted by Daniel Aldana Cohen. The story begins,.

Daniel Aldana Cohen: March 2007
http://aldanacohen.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 22, 2007. TIME to chill out, eh? So the March 12 TIME Canada got a little over-enthusiastic in its canuckitiness, or a little paranoid of CRTC censors, or something. Yeah, I kind of spoiled the search.). See, the thing is, when I'm on the Dufferin bus. And not next to my calculator, even if I do vaguely know that an inch is about 2.54 cm, and that 180 cm is roughly six feet, what the fuck is 170 cm supposed to mean to me in two seconds or less? Is it tall or short? Monday, March 19, 2007.

Daniel Aldana Cohen: New Year's Resolution: Be The Change
http://aldanacohen.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-years-resolution-be-change.html
Sunday, January 06, 2008. New Year's Resolution: Be The Change. What do British imperialism and Leo Tolstoy have in common? Two things actually- Gandhi and armies in Asia. Intrigued? You should be. 'Cause it's a little known fact that Tolstoy was Gandhi's major early influence, as detailed in my story. In his early 20s, growing tired of his (apparently) dull life of gambling and whoring, Tolstoy went to visit his brother, an army officer stationed in Central Asia. Tolstoy signed up and joined in impe...

Monday, September 11, 2006. Maude Barlow in Bolivia. Um, I haven't been on this blogger thing for so long, I can barely remember how to use it. I got back from Bolivia recently and have published my first article about something that happened there, a visit by Maude Barlow for a historic meeting. The story appeared in the Star a week ago Sunday, and begins like this:. When we bathed in the water, it burned our skin," says Carlos Ortiz Silva, the community's elected leader.

Daniel Aldana Cohen: November 2008
http://aldanacohen.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 10, 2008. My sister and the so-called "food crisis". Look, clearly Madeleine knows her food. Just check out the witty blog she and her friends have: c is for kitchen. You'd never know she refused to eat anything coloured until she was 12. (Sorry M, but what one hand giveth.). And now I've even used her hardened cynicism to open an article about the food crisis. In the Nov/Dec Canadian Dimension. Magazine (a review essay about two great books, The Global Food Economy. By Devlin Kuyek) :.
