    When it comes to voting for anything on campus, I usually don’t give two fucks. I vote for the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union executive, yes, but I could hardly care less who wins or loses. However, I was ecstatic when I heard about the spring and summer U-Pass referendum. This was a vote in which I really wanted to participate and I’m not at all surprised that students actually took the time to vote in favour of this motion.

  • One man’s hope for a little more friendliness in feminism today

    By November 17, 2012

    First of all, I am a feminist. Now, I’d like to believe that I live in a time and place where a man calling himself a feminist is the norm, but that sadly isn’t the case.

  • Politics: Please don’t feed the Republicans

    By November 17, 2012

    As someone who has US President Barack Obama as her Facebook profile picture, it is probably pretty obvious that I wanted him to be elected to a second term in the oval office. Supporting Obama also means that I have to fend off criticisms from the roughly 70 million Americans who voted for Republican Mitt Romney, not to mention right-wing Canadians.

    Do you consider 18-year-olds to be adults? Should an 18-year-old be allowed to vote, buy porn and cigarettes, and fight in the military? Most people won’t hesitate to answer yes. So why can’t an 18-year-old adult have an alcoholic beverage?

  • From pink ribbons to moustaches, using symbols to sell cancer

    By November 14, 2012

    It’s the most wonderful time of year. And no, it’s not Christmas. It’s Movember! On the 1st of November, messages all over the internet, including from peers, encouraged men to shave one last time before growing out their moustaches with the intent of raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer.

  • Euthanasia: it literally means “good death”

    By November 10, 2012

    Physician-assisted suicide, a form of euthanasia in which a doctor helps a patient end his or her life at the patient’s request, is legal in many parts of the world, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and certain American states such as Oregon and Washington. So why is it taboo in Canada?

  • Banning masked protest threatens Canadian freedoms

    By November 8, 2012

    On Oct. 31 the federal government passed a private members’ bill with far-reaching implications for Canadians that signals a desire on the Conservative government’s part to erode citizens’ civil liberties.
