QUESTION: I am a 56-year-old recently widowed woman and I'm finding it very difficult to find someone to travel with because most of my friends are married. I would like to go on two-week holidays to sun spots and extended holidays to Spain, Portugal, Australia and New Zealand in the future. Would you know of a group or company that caters to single women or who match up single travellers?
QUESTION: Travel insurance can be very expensive. A pre-existing condition may not be covered, and once you reach 60, travel insurance can become more difficult and excessively expensive to get. Is travel insurance absolutely necessary when travelling to countries like Mexico or Cuba, or within Canada for that matter, where the cost of medical service may be comparable to our Manitoba medical covera...

Religiosity has been largely overlooked by many studies on intergenerational support despite growing evidence to its significant role in shaping parent-child relationship. This study aims (1) to examine the congruence between commitment to eldercare and actual parental care in five countries; and (2) to investigate the role of religiosity in predicting the development of filial norms and the enactment of such norms to actual supportive behavior toward parents. Latent class analyses (LCA) and logistic regression analyses were performed using a sub-sample from the Role of Old Age Service Systems and Intergenerational Family Solidarity (OASIS) study, a nationally representative sample of four European countries (Norway, England, Spain, and Germany) and Israel (N=2,327). LCA demonstrated th...

The region is home to dozens of other wondrous monuments, structures, castles and cathedrals. Architecture often blends the old with the new, reflecting Spain's history. Some structures show traces of Spain's early Christian roots. Other buildings are from the era of 700 to 1492 A.D., during which time the Moors (Muslims originally from Africa) ruled parts of the region. Other edifices reflect Christianity's re-emergence from the 13th to 15th century onwards, All of which makes for a fascinating mix of bricks, plaster, stucco and tiles.
In Spain, it's easy to appreciate the wonders of the country's artistic geniuses and no where is that more apparent than in the southern city of Malaga. It's the perfect place to reflect on the greatness of its most famous son. No, not Antonio Banderas, ...

The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...

It's the official start to the Christmas shopping season, and it usually means huge deals. [...] if we are going to continue with a "Canadian Black Friday" why don't we just move Thanksgiving? I have five good reasons to move the holiday from October to November: 5 More time for farmers to get the harvest off when the season runs late from year to year. 4 An extra long weekend.
