"...a man who had suffered from two ethics scandals and the blackface controversy walked away from the debate untouched. Not once did we witness a desperate Trudeau pinned to the ground by verbal assaults from Scheer, Singh, or any of the other candidates," writes Aly Kamadia, Editor-In-Chief of iDose (Oct. 9th, 2019)
"For most experiences in life, no matter how good it makes you feel the first time it happens, it feels less good the more you experience it. A great restaurant may be a peak experience the first time you eat there, but bring you less joy each time you go there again. You may love hearing a particular song the first time it plays, but it won’t be as uplifting the 50th time as it was the first.

"It seems not a day goes by without the appearance of another dire warning about the future of work. Some alarmists fear a “robot apocalypse,” while others foresee the day of “singularity” coming when artificial intelligence exceeds human intelligence. Still others warn that income inequality will continue to rise as owners of capital capture more of the benefits of innovations than those who labor for a living," write Thomas Kochan, MIT Sloan School of Management and Elisabeth Reynolds, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Oct. 9th, 2019)
Should he drop out of the race? - Aly Kamadia (Oct. 9th, 2019)
"But if Mr. Sanders has, until this week, largely avoided questions about his health — he has projected an image of fitness as a candidate and has maintained a blistering schedule on the campaign trail — the spotlight is now squarely on him," writes Anthony G. Picciano, City University of New York - CUNY (Oct. 9th, 2019)
