This System Is Broken: Who is being raided on the yintahHey, wouldn’t it be grand if citizens of canada could arrive together at the unanimous understanding of how our government’s declarations of reconciliation are an active contradiction? The “royal canadian mounted police” marching en masse with loaded machine guns and ravenous attack dogs into unceded traditional Indigenous territories doesn’t look like the face of reconciliation […] Continue Reading |
Let’s Talk 2.0: Drag-culture conflictsI adore drag queens. There is nothing more fun than heading out with the girls to Friends of Dorothy or sitting down with popcorn to watch the latest episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Drag culture is just so complex and fascinating that I can’t stay away from it. But the longer I enjoy drag shows […] Continue Reading |
Leaving the Cave: The nightmare continuesBack to school, back on campus. It does seem a bit odd when other post-secondary institutions are back to online studying, at least until Omicron stops spreading through the population faster then ever imagined. It’s very unnerving when things are beyond our control, and I can’t begin to imagine how the politicians feel, knowing they’ve […] Continue Reading |
Show me the Money: What’s in store for 20222021 was an incredible year in the financial world.

Nic’s Flicks: Spider-Man: No Way Home a swinging good timeSpider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 3.5/4 Spider-Man: No Way Home is easily the best Spider-Man movie I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing on the big screen. Throughout the course of these Jon Watts-directed movies, Tom Holland has continuously knocked it out of the park both playing a young Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and this […] Continue Reading |
This System Is Broken: Unwelcome trespassersThere’s a lot of confusion surrounding the legality of the unapproved Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline being forced through Wet’suwet’en territory. The bottom line is that in forcing this project through lands where hereditary chiefs are saying a resounding “no,” the canadian government is blatantly contradicting itself. Sure, some of the Wet’suwet’en band council are in […] Continue Reading |
Let’s Talk 2.0: The silent story about outstanding femalesAs Black History Month is approaching, let’s talk about some really outstanding females. Back in the day it was hard for women to actually achieve something, but it was even harder if they weren’t white. Let’s have a closer look at NASA, for example. Men didn’t trust calculations by machines and considered this women’s work. […] Continue Reading |
Nic’s Flicks: The best movies of 20212021 was one hell of a year for movies. We had some great blockbuster movies like No Time to Die, starring Daniel Craig, and Marvel gems Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Black Widow. We were also treated to some great little independent movies like Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog […] Continue Reading |
Let’s Talk 2.0: Bisexual erasureBisexuality, like most terms in the LGBTQ+ community, is an umbrella term that covers a broad spectrum; in its most basic definition, bisexuality is considered to be romantic or sexual attraction toward both men and women. There are tons of amazing bi people out there, but, unfortunately, our society is disregarding at best and biphobic […] Continue Reading |
