On Oct. 6, Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq announced that the federal government would be introducing a cap of 180 milligrams of caffeine in energy drinks. Her argument in favour of the change was that it would be “especially helpful to the parents of teenagers who regularly consume energy drinks.”
Health Canada concedes that “older and heavier-weight adolescents may be able to consume adult doses of caffeine without suffering adverse effects.” Given this wishy-washy stance, I don’t see a reason to ban some of the more caffeinated varieties of energy drinks.

Like many movie franchises before them, Harold and Kumar have gone on holiday with their new movie A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas. This third entry in the franchise is a clear departure from last two films.
The most obvious departure is the 3D, but luckily most of the 3D gags take place early in the film. Whereas the first two films take place within mere days of each other, this one occurs a few years in the future and (horror of horrors!) Harold and Kumar are no longer friends.

It’s named after one of the coldest places on Earth, after all.

The Toronto Zoo recently came under fire for separating two gay African penguins. According to Queerty.com, penguins Buddy and Pedro display typical courtship behaviors: grooming each other, swimming together and making mating noises at each other.
But the zookeepers want to use the penguins’ “top notch” genes to save their species from extinction. The keepers defended their actions saying Pedro and Buddy don’t necessarily have sex — as if to suggest “they aren’t gay because they don’t have gay sex.”

Though Stacey Swampy has not been an active gang member in almost 17 years, he can readily list the many benefits they offer to poor youth: protection, a sense of belonging, family, and, not least, money.
Str8 Up began several years ago in Saskatoon. Father Andre, a Catholic priest and chaplain in the Saskatoon Correctional Centre, “basically started to recognize that people who want to get out of the gangs have a long, hard, difficult road ahead of them,” said John Howard Society District Director Shaun Dyer. “So he started to be intentional about working with them and befriending them.”

The man, the myth, the legend — who was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? The newly arrived production of Amadeus may not provide exact historical accuracy, but it does provide a sizzling spectacle of classic elegance and bloodthirsty rivalry.
This fall, Greystone Theatre is putting on the Peter Shaffer play that delves into the mystery of the genius who changed history. Amadeus is told from the perspective of Viennese court composer Antonio Salieri. It begins in the early 19th century, with Salieri wasting away in his autumn years, his distinguished career long behind him.

All university students run into this problem sooner or later: you miss a class and you need the notes, but you don’t have friends you could ask and you don’t want to spam the entire class for lecture notes. What do you do?
Notesolution, a note-sharing service founded by three University of Toronto grads, might be the solution for many students. Notesolution expanded to 29 more universities this year, including the University of Saskatchewan, where about 300 students currently use the service. There are now 25,000 users across Canada, according to the company.
