LEGO: Everything is not Awesome!

That LEGO is partnering with Shell is nothing new. From 1966 to 1992 LEGO regularly produced Shell-themed LEGO sets. You might even remember them from your childhood:
- There’s the 1981 Shell Gas Pumps set;
- And the Shell Service Station from 1983;
- And then there’s the rare, cross-over Pirates/Town set, “The Shell Pirates’ Illegal Offshore Exploration Ship” (see below);
- And the even rarer Shell Death Star commanded by Shell CEO Darth van Beurden.

CETA could be a "casualty" in the European fight over TTIP
It appears increasingly likely that the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) could be a "casualty" in the European debate over the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) provision in the United States-European Union Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

The "Longue durée" of the Québec Spring
Pierre Beaudet
(Translation by Thomas Chiasson-LeBel)
As has been the case for several years, great mobilizations take place around the globe. We notice them when they are covered by mainstream media; although the coverage only occurs when these mobilizations reach their apex. Generally speaking, we fairly quickly jump to some other concerns, as if the Tahir square protests, the Madrid Indignados, or the street confrontations in Athens, Istanbul or Bangkok were merely sudden and short-lasting eruptions.
