Students’ apathy toward Canadian politics was not mollified by the announcement that the Liberal Party of Canada will seek a fall election.
Michael Ignatieff, the party’s leader, said recently that the current government’s “time is up” and claims that he intends to force a non-confidence vote in Parliament as soon as possible.
If a fall federal election does occur it will be the fourth in five years.

Heelflips, kickflips, 50-50 grinds, nollies, ollies and a few bone-deep wounds and concrete collisions comprised the fun day of skateboarding at the first annual Nine Times Super Serious Skateboard Competition on Sept. 6.
Over 100 skaters from across Saskatchewan took part in the skating competition organized by Saskatoon-based skateboarding, snowboarding, clothing and accessories outlet Nine Times. Taking place at Saskatoon’s Lions Skatepark along Spadina Crescent, not even some precipitation from the cloudy skies above could stop the core of Saskatoon’s skating scene from doing their thing.

When NBA players started flocking to Twitter, there was no need to abate my excitement. Giving pro athletes a global megaphone was somewhere between sleeping with spiders and peeing into the wind on my to-do list. I was not surprised by how banal most of the players were: Miami’s Dwyane Wade never seems to stop playing with his kids and those who attended college make note of the happenings of their Alma Maters’ sports teams. Yet whenever any of them writes that “life is good” I can’t help but feel like they are ignorant. Of course life is good, you make millions!

For me, most bands didn’t exist until MuchMusic, MTV or the local commercial radio station told me they did.
This, of course, was nonsense. All of these bands, like most artists, work their asses off for years in what is commonly referred to as “the underground,” playing shows for small audiences in pubs, community halls, church basements and on university campuses.
