Canada is protecting a dictatorship. It’s time to stop: Michael Lima, Isabelle Terranova and Sarah Teich in The Hamilton Spectator - The Macdonald-Laurier Institute

in this chapter, we journeyed from underground nightclubs to cinematic illusions, wearable architectures, and sculptural mirrors, exploring how spectacle can challenge our perceptions and experience the world.

When Sofia Lekka Angelopoulou opened SPECTATOR AND SPECTACLE, she posed a question that challenged our relationship with the world around us: ‘What if we are not overwhelmed by spectacle, but starved of it?’ In her opening editorial, The Haçienda Must Be Built, she traced the history of the night, from radical discotheques to the increasingly measured and optimized rhythms of contemporary life, asking what happens when experiences become predictable and images lose their capacity to surprise us. Over the weeks that followed, the chapter explored how architecture, art, fashion, and design might recover that sense of wonder.

He says that number could balloon to 6,100 patients by 2030, given the province’s aging population. Moores says that’s a lot of people waiting a long time with pain and disability.
