Magic 8 Ball asked:


I’ve always felt a responsibility to educate myself about current national and international affairs, but I usually get overwhelmed by the variety and quantity of publications available for fulfilling this responsibility.

I subscribe to a newspaper now, but rarely have the patience to read it because most of the articles inundate readers with details about a single recent incident without giving a broader, generalized context for the story (for instance, an article might focus on a single car bombing without restating why there is even a war going on in the Middle East).

Given my dilemma, it seems like my question is two-fold.

First, what are the best sources for getting the “reader’s digest” version of current national and international affairs?

And secondly, once a general understanding has been reached, what are the best sources for daily enhancing that knowledge?

I am trying to compile a list of major destablilizing world events and the time and place in which they occurred. I am looking for events from about 1870 on. I am most in need of data for Europe, but really am looking for anything. Any idea on where to find this info? Is there some type of book dedicated to this sort of thing, perhaps?

One of my co-workers had a few historical events on his calendar each day. It looks like it would be cool to have this, but I wonder if I have to put them in there myself or if there is a calendar somewhere that I can download. (I would have asked him, but he is no longer with the company). Thanks.

Thanks for the two moronic answers instead of providing something helpful.

Canadian immigrants = people who have immigrated TO Canada. DUUUUR. But thanks for being smartasses and making yourselves look like jackasses instead.
Basically, I want to know WHAT world events have SIGNIFICANTLY changed the origins of immigrants in Canada and HOW. Jesus Christ.
