Knowledge, Learning, Community
On the 'education is everywhere' front, now the newspapers are jumping in by offering free 'how-to' videos that "give you short, easy-to-follow lessons from trusted experts." It's a natural for the newspapers, as they look to move in on a market previously dominated by non-professional producers. There's plenty of grist in the videos for media critics, as the topics range from fitness, cooking, wine and spirits, beauty, hair and fashion. Do I detect an agenda here? And it's weird (isn't it?) that the videos (at least the ones that I watched) are sponsored by http://ontario.ca/kindergarten There's no way to embed the video, so you'll have to go to Canada's National Newspaper if you want to learn how to get puffier lips without injections.
