The Ewald Series

Writing • 2012 – 2017

A series of novels following the adventures of Ewald Ellington through new lands of myth beyond his realm of imagination.

Synopsis: Ewald Ellington was a seemingly ordinary boy and a lonely one at that. However his quiet life in his quiet suburb goes awry once he is transported into a fanciful nation hidden from the outside world – the Magic Section. There he witnesses oddities so peculiar that they were beyond the realm of his imagination – moving hospital beds, floating cafeteria tables, flying school buses, and a crystal ball with quite the sense of humour. Little did Ewald know that behind the magic, deep within the forest, a sinister man has returned. Gethin has come back for the Gems of Time, seeking to revive his long lost army with them. When Ewald and his new best friend, Alexander Egond, attempt to find the gems for themselves and protect them from the grasp of Gethin, they quickly become ensnared in his twisted tale.

Section 35 and the Settler Constitutional Order’s Impediment to the Decolonization of Indigenous Rights

An academic article outlining Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution and the impediment it poses to the decolonization of Indigenous rights. This article presents the case that the Canadian judicial system is a significant hindrance to decolonization due to its unwillingness to acknowledge Indigenous legal sovereignty as equally legitimate. Specifically, the imposition of Section 35 on Indigenous peoples and Indigenous rights poses an impediment to decolonization in that it subjugates Indigenous legal understandings to a second-tier or even non-existent status, restricts Indigenous rights by controlling the arenas in which Indigenous peoples are allowed to exercise self-determination, and does not provide Indigenous peoples with any meaningful level of sovereignty.

The Brother-Sister Podcast

Other • 2015

A conversation between brother and sister.

My sister and I dicuss whatever is on our minds... from pop culture and current events to our personal lives. Nothing is left untouched! In our run, we chatted about the (at the time) latest news on Amanda Bynes, Bill Cosby, and Kim Kardashian breaking the internet, as well as what we did over summer vacation. I've since taken down the episodes at my sister's request but shall forever hold them over her.
