Trouble with Bangladesh's garment industry

Six months ago, the world did not expect Bangladesh’s topmost industry to bring in more heartbreak than it did revenue. Since November, Bangladesh has seen at least two major workplace safety-related tragedies.

Editorial Board: Three PLQ Leaders for the Future

On March 17, card-carrying Liberals from across the province will be selecting the new leader of the Parti liberal du Québec (PLQ) and quite possibly the next premiere of Quebec. The Prince Arthur Herald does not see fit to endorse one single candidate. None of the three candidates – Raymond Bachand, Philippe Couillard, and Pierre Moreau – stand out above the others.

Any hope that the succession of Kim Jong-un, the twenty-something year old dictator of North Korea, would be a change for the better from his father in the Stalinist nation of North Korea have been crushed. When his father, Kim Jong-Il, died in December 2011, there were speculations that his young successor, who had lived and attended school in the West, would have an interest in modernizing and bringing capitalism to the impoverished nation.
