A Choice of Accommodations encompasses all of the themes present in Unaccustomed Earth's other stories, melded effortlessly into a whole. The book is a fine followup to Lahiri's debut, the 2003 novel The Namesake, which won her the U.S. Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
[Ruma] is in her 30s. Before giving birth to her son and moving, with her family, from New York to Seattle, Ruma worked as a lawyer, earning "a six-figure" salary. She now stays at home with her young son on a full-time basis and, at least temporarily, has left her litigation career. Her husband works for a "hedge fund," a job which frequently takes him away on business trips.
Her mother's death has left Ruma feeling utterly alone in a new city and house, having moved from New York to Seattle. Being alone with her small child...

Judge [Pierre Biais] ruled that [Ron Evans] and the councillors who supported him engaged in "usurpation of power" and that a "sub-group" of councillors held numerous "secret meetings" and had engaged in "deplorable blackmail and influence peddling." The judge also wrote that Evans and his core supporters on council were guilty of "failure to respect representative democracy," engaged in "unauthorized activities" and acted in "bad faith" and had put "democracy at risk.
Judge [Sandra Simpson] noted that the former chief and his core supporters on council had "decided that [[Marcel Balfour]] was a dissident upstart who questioned and criticized their decisions, priorities and expenditures." In order to "reduce [Balfour's] influence," Evans, [Fred Muskego], Clark and [Langford Saunders] h...

I frankly remember feeling frustration like this myself, especially when a former employer grossly overstated the company's readiness for change. But in all honesty, I am not certain that employers outrightly and deliberately lie, but rather they may be so engrossed in their own organizational culture that they see the world through rose-coloured glasses. Therefore, before you accept a job, you need to do more homework. Check out the company with the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce. If you are in a specialist occupation, it is easy to inquire through your professional network. Call for advice from colleagues, clients and customers. Finally, if you are really concerned, have your lawyer check for any publicly reported legal issues the corporation has experienced. Yo...

When the B.C. Lions became the ninth team in the league in 1954, experts claimed that all the CFL needed was to add another in Halifax to become a genuine coast-to-coast circuit. At that time, the NFL contained only 12 teams and didn't enjoy the huge television revenues of today. Since the salary differential between the two leagues wasn't that great, it was easier to attract talent to Canada.
This story had my blood boiling over when WRHA vice-chairman Allan Fineblit stated that the fact that Brian Sinclair was or wasn't in the triage line "doesn't matter" and is not an important detail. Only a lawyer could make such a statement.
Throughout the public discussions of the tragic death of Brian Sinclair we have been told that "the system" failed him. We have be told to believe that a seri...
