The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Synthesis Report, released Monday, March 20th, provides an overview of the most recent Sixth Assessment Cycle. In a fit of singular autistic laser focus and, let’s face it, a touch of masochism, I read the entire thing. Let’s talk about it.
There has been a fibre arts explosion since the pandemic, ranging from crocheting, knitting, embroidery, felting, and sewing. When there was nothing to do but create, people (especially young people) found that learning a new practical medium allowed for a chance to experiment with their creativity. To this day, the remnants of Covid-19’s hold on fibre art crafts is demonstrated throughout the Trent University population.
Councillors have provided preliminary approval for the development of new buildings and additions to existing structures in Peterborough’s downtown neighbourhood. Both major developments seek to address issues related to the availability of housing in Peterborough while also intensifying the downtown core.
Arthur is back for 2023! This month's issue contains an insert of reviews of films playing at this year's ReFrame Film Festival, coverage of local news events and City Council decisions, some hot takes on local thrift stores, and the return of treasured columns Dear David and Cinevangelism. Finally, Arthur's chronically unstable younger sibling TED is back in print. Beware, but enjoy.
Issue 3 arrives just in time for the holidays - when exam stress is at a peak and snow blankets the city making it even less pedestrian friendly than usual. As City Council weighs the relative worth of a human life, they're also faced with student demands for better transit. In the letters section, international students are sick of sexy bingos and demand action while a famous scientist writes about the lack of resources for STEM students in labs and libraries at Trent. Also, the debuts of new columns "Dear David" and "Cinevangelism." All this and more in the December Arthur!
With Issue Seven, Arthur's 57th Volume goes out with a proverbial bang. Having survived a malicious libel and defunding campaign wrought by Trent's best and brightest, Arthur is assured another year (at least) of funding. Beyond the top-notch reporting you've come to love and expect, the paper and its contributors come back swinging with "Alfred" - an insert which is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18 or who get offended by things they read.
Episode 11! We talked about the STIGMA that seeps from the pores of Conservative MPP Dave Smith as well as Police spending $185,505 (plus annual operations costs) to install 12 CCTV cameras in Peterborough's downtown, plus much more!
