    I used to be terrified by horror movies until I realized there’s nothing scary about them. Honestly, when is the last time you were chased by an axe-wielding maniac to the sounds of violins and cellos? Final exams, terminal illnesses and dieing alone – now these are legitimate fears.

  • How to manufacture the rapture and keep everyone happy

    By October 30, 2011

    It’s time to get your shit in order. Oct. 21 was supposed to be the end of the world (again), but there’s been some sort of delay (again). Who knows how long that delay will last, though?

  • There’s no excuse for voter apathy

    By October 29, 2011

    On Nov. 7 inhabitants of Saskatchewan will go to the polls to vote for new leadership. Unfortunately, it is too often in Canada that we neglect or take for granted the freedom that we have to choose the people who lead us.

  • Follow the evidence: studies show cellphones don’t cause cancer

    By October 29, 2011

    A new Danish study, published in the British Journal of Medicine, shows conclusively that there is no link between cellphone usage and brain cancer. And it won’t change anything.

    The problem is that once you take on a belief like cellphones causing cancer, scientific evidence won’t easily sway you. The same goes for people who think vaccines cause autism or that climate change is a huge scam perpetrated by greedy governments and windmill makers.

  • Text-ed: understanding the unique language of texting

    By October 27, 2011

    “Texting is ruining language.” It’s a very familiar statement that finds backing from scholars and laymen alike, but is there any truth to the statement?

  • A win for Western Canadian farmers: the end of the Wheat Board monopoly

    By October 26, 2011

    As students, we have the right to freely market our skills. If you are seeking a master’s in business administration, you can market yourself to countless businesses; if you are an artist, you can share your work and attempt to sell it at various galleries and stores.

    Imagine a different scenario. What if you were required to submit your skills or products to a board that would then decide where and to whom your product could be sold or your skills utilized?

  • American presidential race brings out the crazies

    By October 22, 2011

    It’s that time of year again fellow Canadians (and especially American taxpayers): where all the eager American presidential candidates board the train and ride to “Crazy Town, USA.”

    Whoops, I meant the White House.

  • One-sided love: a boy, his cell phone and too much whiskey

    By October 22, 2011

    Oh cell phone, what do I even think of you? In many ways you make my life so much easier. I’m connected to everything everywhere I go and I love you for that. But my love for you is my issue, for when I have had a long talk with Mr. Jack Daniels, I love you too much. It may start innocently enough with a simple tweet like “Piñatas Rule Everything Around Me! #PinataClan.”
