Dear Mr. Harper, I’ve always been a big fan of your policies, and I can’t tell you how excited I was on May 2 when I watched the final numbers roll in and you gained a majority government. But it was on Dec. 11, 2011, that you won a very special place in my heart. It was on this day that your minister of the environment, Peter Kent, officially announced Canada would be the first country in the world to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol. A decision like that is just pure Stephen Harper gold.

I wouldn’t normally say local police waste our money on grossly incompetent staff or services. It’s not like they ever had sex on duty or threw people outside the city in lethally cold weather.
But this plane they’ve been joyriding since 2005 is a ridiculous money pit.

Every year thousands of students flock to universities all over Canada in pursuit of undergraduate goals. Some are on their way to careers in medicine, law and even government. However, the college experience involves much more than academics. It is a life-changing time filled with growth and social development. This is where the Greek system comes into play.

“Why can’t they just get over the past and move on?”
This comment, more than any other, enrages me when people discuss issues affecting First Nations in Canada.
I have heard it more times than I ever wanted to. Unfortunately, it usually has nothing to do with the speaker hoping that aboriginal people can move beyond the oppression, but is another way of admitting that they would rather not deal with centuries-old injustices.

Currently, the CBC has an annual budget of $1.1 billion, a figure that is expected to decrease in the near future.
The CBC is a wounded soldier wheeling a single pistol. It is up against the heavily armed cavalry that is the American media. If we do not provide it with adequate defence, it will be killed. Canada will then be in danger of succumbing to a Conservative agenda that seems more concerned with protecting its own ideology than the Canadian public.

Addiction. That’s right; I’m calling all phone users on it. You’re addicted.
I know you’re probably raising your eyebrows at me right now. I’m sure I would be too if I hadn’t given this subject some thought. But this isn’t a lecture to all you texters about how phone use is bad for you or how you have lost all ability to directly communicate with real people.

I’ve been able to bottle it up until now. It has been boiling in the background, but I put a lid on it and let it be.
But now — now you’ve done it. You have, once again, ended up nearly at the top of U.S. record sales. Sure, other Canadians have joined you in the Top 10 album sales spotlight — Bublé, Drake and Bieber to be specific.
But you, sirs, of the “our name is the grammatically incorrect way to give change to a customer” tribe, I take issue with.

Am I a feminist? What is a feminist anyway? There seem to be a lot of opinions about them, and there is always that braless, hairy, man-hating stereotypical image which I don’t think I fit. Although shaving is a real pain and some days hating men would not be that hard, I don’t want to have to try and be a man so I can make it in the world, and I don’t want to be put into some prescribed role because I admit that I am a woman.
