ay after day they show up in the heat and cold, subject to scrutiny of the secret Dpolice, demanding democracy, to have a vote that counts and to make their living free from corruption. The heroic Egyptians continue to amaze the world. Since Jan. 25, they have risked their lives and those of their families to fi ght corruption and rid their country of a dictator and oppressor. It’s a struggle that’s gripped the world in real time and can only be compared with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 that marked the end of the Iron Curtain. In Egypt, dictator Hosni Mubarak is, for all in- tents and purposes, done. While he refused to step down completely on Thursday, despite the anticipation of millions who’ve awaited his de- parture, his announcement that he’s transferring powers to the vice-president to await elections in September, is also a victory. While he may technically may still have the title, Mubarak is no longer in control. In the past few weeks, he’s made concession after concession. That trend won’t stop until he’s gone completely. Providing there isn’t a bloody reaction of inhu- man scale, the people of Egypt, who’ve already tasted freedom and self-determination, won’t let up until there’s no trace of Mubarak and his henchmen. It’s a lesson we should mind in comfortable Canada: Free elections, democracy, a clean gov- ernment, freedom of expression, never should be taken for granted, even here.

alentine’s Day is just around the Vcorner. If you really want to make your special person happy, here is something you may fi nd interesting. The Society of Ameri- can Florists partnered with world renowned researcher Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., Gardening of Rutgers University, Brian Minter on some ground-break- ing research to examine the effect of fl owers on human emotion and well being. Over 10 months, some very interesting results were discovered. Dr. Haviland-Jones and her research team found that the presence of fl owers triggers happy emotions, heightens feel- ings of life satisfaction and affects future behaviour in a positive manner far beyond what is normally true. Flowers are a natural and healthful mod- erator of moods.
