After a five-year hiatus since the release of the highly criticized double album Stadium Arcadium, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have a lot to prove with their latest release, I’m With You.
With over 60 minutes of music, the Chili Peppers’ tenth studio album, produced by Rick Rubin, has Anthony Kiedis claiming they are a “new band.” But fear not diehard fans, I’m With You is stamped with the RHCP’s signature sound. Just don’t count on them getting the socks back out.

Don’t expect a definitive statement anytime soon on Thomas Mulcair’s future in the NDP leadership race.
“It’s a question of weeks, not days,” the party’s deputy leader told a group of about 60 supporters and Concordia University students at a speaking event in Montreal on Sept. 16. He made the comments the day after a three-day caucus meeting finished in Quebec City. The question about his leadership and potential backing from the other MPs was a hot topic at the conference.

Using his influence and elite hockey status, Bob McKenzie has certainly inspired an in-depth look into the ugly side of “crazy” minor-hockey parents.
McKenzie himself admits that since his sons have grown to the ages of 22 and 25, he doesn’t spend as much time around the rinks as he used to.

The tale of the student who takes ADD/ADHD medication sans prescription is, to the modern day university student, a familiar one. Alex (an anonymous friend of a friend, or a character in a news story) is a great student, but needs more time for studying, the soccer team, and partying. Alex finds there are meds that improve concentration and keep you up all night. (“Yeah, that’s exactly the type of person who drives me nuts,” says Ellston.)

Recently, Graham Templeton of The Peak newspaper at Simon Fraser University wrote an opinion piece stating that he was offended by the very notion of a western rape culture, calling the premise sexist. His arguments lack insight or a nuanced understanding of the issues he disagrees with.

I think it’s important to define rape culture, because I don’t think Templeton understands it, or took the time to investigate the meaning.

If they somehow didn’t have the indie cred before, Arcade Fire has now certainly solidified their top standing in the Canadian music world now.
