Here’s a scary thought: I’m a Canadian citizen over 18 years of age and I have lived in Saskatoon for more than three months and in Saskatchewan for more than six months. What does this mean? I can run for mayor. Ermahgerd!

The Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Federation of Students recently revamped its cheque-signing procedure, but that isn’t enough to convince me that the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union should rethink its position on membership in the national student lobbying group.

U.S. presidential elections seem to get longer every cycle. A president is hardly moved into the White House now before one or both major political parties start looking for their next candidates.

I love Saskatoon. We may not have the poutine and bagels of Montreal, the oceanic views of the East Coast, or the nightlife of Vancouver, but there’s a lot to be said about our city of bridges. Because I love where I live, I care about the ways this fine city is run. Civic politics are important and should not be brushed aside. As Canadian citizens, we are beyond lucky to have the right to vote in civic, provincial and federal elections.

October is arguably the worst month of the school year.

On Oct. 3 the first of three presidential debates in the 2012 American election cycle aired internationally, and what a spectacle it was. Anyone watching could see how diametrically opposed the two candidates are, how vast and substantive the differences between them. For instance: the Democrat wore a blue tie and the Republican wore red.

The table in the Arts Tunnel boasted a sign loudly proclaiming, “Trade your soul for a cookie.” The station beside it asked passersby to “draw a deity.” These were part of the proud on-campus celebration of Blasphemy Day.

Technology has forever changed the ways in which relationships begin, function and end. The romanticized bygone practices of courting and love letters have been replaced by one-night stands and sext messages. Instead of pouring my soul into a love letter addressed to my beloved, I can just send them a picture of my junk and call it a day. Apparently, a penis is worth a thousand words.
