"The Epstein class: A transnational neoliberalist economic network of sociopaths who believe so strongly in the important of a free “market” and the endless accumulation of wealth, that they are willing to use just about any means necessary to keep it flowing from the bottom to the top, where they live."

RETRO ROLLERS ROLLS INTO KITCHENER
Waterloo Region’s first roller rink in over a decade celebrated its grand opening on Feb. 28, 2026. Retro Rollers, located at 563 Highland Rd. W. in Kitchener, offers roller skating, fitness classes, and party rooms for birthdays and company events.
Retro Rollers is the culmination of almost a decade of work for co-owners Elaine Beck and Phil Morris. The partners started the business in Wellesley in 2017, renting out the Wellesley Arena during the summer and hosting events. Shortly after, the City of London issued a request for proposals to take over management of its roller skate program.
“We got accepted and we’re still there today. We’ve done all kinds of pop-ups, private events, fundraisers and worked with roller derby teams like Tri City, Forest City and Royal City,” Beck said.
The original plan was to open a permanent roller rink, but that was delayed by the pandemic. Beck added that, while they would have liked to open sooner, the delay gave them time to build the right experience to open the Retro Rollers roller rink.
“When we look back at our original business plan, it was always to open a roller rink. Back then, the banks laughed, and they still do,” she laughed.
Saving the capital needed to open the roller rink was one thing, finding the space was another.
“We had to find a space that was big enough and the right price. We didn’t want to charge people $50 to come and roller skate,” Morris said.
The location first came up during an internet search in 2018. At first, Morris said Beck was not sold on the idea of a basement. When they restarted their search after the pandemic, the space was still available. Once she visited the space in person, Beck said she saw a vision for what it could be.
“As soon as we came down here, I saw a way to take advantage of a layout that would foster both beginner skaters that are just learning and those that are really experienced,” she said.
Beck and Morris added that the landlord was great to work with and the rent made it possible to offer pricing that is accessible to as many people as possible. Retro Rollers offers three-hour sessions for $15, with skate rentals for $5. The venue is alcohol-free, a choice Beck said is for liability and for the experience.
“Roller skating releases natural dopamine, and you can burn 400 to 600 calories every hour on roller skates,” she added.
The space is nostalgic, with pinball machines, a snack bar, a DJ booth and retro-inspired murals painted by Beck and her daughter.
“We see a lot of people that turn into a kid when they put their skates on. They’re screaming and laughing—it’s amazing,” Beck said.
Morris and Beck said seeing the impact Retro Rollers is already having in the community is validation for pursuing their dream.
“We saw what was going on around us with social media and the way it was sucking everybody in. We wanted to bring people out. We’re not here to make a lot of money, but for us, the biggest paycheck at the end of the day is seeing people smile, have a good time and enjoy their lives,” Morris said.

Als grüne Modellstadt geplant verkommt Forest City in Malaysia neben Singapur zu einer riesigen Geisterstadt. Seit der Kappung chinesischer Auslandsinvestitionen und dem Straucheln der Immobilienfirma Country Garden ist die Zukunft der unvollendeten Retortenstadt ungewiss.

Here’s an interesting project, imagining a Forest City of the future in Gabon, Central Africa, a country rich for its forests, rivers and biodiversity.
Like all developing countries, their challenge is to decide whether they want to follow the principles of industrial cities or they want invent an ecological model that attracts talented people and inspires the world.
In this project, architecture practice Built by Associative Data, investigate how such a city might look and how it might function. They dive into the structure of the city, development patters, circular economy thinking, what a forest based economy may be like and much much more.
The city is designed to grow following natural principles developing a new type of linear branch city where all neighborhoods are adapted to their environment. The city would create mixed-use productive communities where people can live work and play in an environment connected to the world where nature will inspire new human habitat.
The Forest City Project faces the challenge of inventing how to inhabit the planet and making the fight against climate change a reality. Buildings will be built using local wood and they will be energy self-sufficient and will recycle their waters to produce food and vegetation.
While all this sounds great and looks amazing, I was left wondering if this was at all possible and would harvesting all these trees be a good idea? This question was asked in a recent BBC Podcast “Can We Build a Better World with Wood?” There is a lively debate between advocates of logging for building and those opposed. Michael Ramage of Cambridge University explains how the development of Cross-Laminated Timber makes it possible to build pretty much any building with wood while Tim Searchinger of Princeton University argues that turning forests into construction material has a high carbon cost for the planet.
The outcome wasn’t really clear. For me the answer was yes, but only if we do logging and forest management better. If we plant the right species, in the right way and harvest and replant in a more considered manner. There can absolutely be no logging of old growth forest. And this is probably not a panacea for all of our habitat needs.
What the Forest City does give us is another way we can think about our cities, that is more sustainable and more connected to the environment.
