New ethics column:
Sudbury.com has partnered with the Ethics Centre at the University of Sudbury on a new column on, fittingly, ethics. Under the heading “Right and Wrong”, the idea is to tackle timely topics from an ethical standpoint. Check out the first column, which explores the inherent dangers to democracy inherent in the kind of populism that elected Donald Trump.
