If I, like the lead in Every Brilliant Thing, were to write a list of all the small things that make life wonderful, seeing this play would be one of them. Journalist Chanel Bowen reviews the recent performance of Every Brilliant Thing at Market Hall
Shireen Ahmed was born to immigrant parents who were both avid hockey fans, in particular supporters of the Montreal Canadiens. She spoke about how she grew up surrounded by sports but it was not until the Olympics that she saw women’s sports being presented on the same level as men’s. Ahmed received a MA in Journalism from Ryerson University (now TMU) and worked as a freelance journalist until she joined the CBC. In 2021 she was the first hijab-wearing and racialised woman to appear on TSN and remains one of only four hijab-wearing sports reporters in the US and Canada.
Rumours of Alfred's death have been greatly exaggerated, as the current insert bears witness to. This horrible little paper, bred in the deepest pits of contempt for ingrained authority, bootlickers, and patsies of all description is the satirical (and deeply stupid) younger brother of Arthur. Be warned: This paper has no redeeming qualities.
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.
Arthur is back in action for March and after a brual month full of all kinds of horrible slights and baseless attacks from the far reaches of campus we get to keep our funding for at least another year! This issue features everything from the profane to the profound and everything in between. In short, everything people have come to love (or despise) about Arthur is here within these pages. We talk about the most moving moments of the 47th annual Elders and Traditional People's Gathering to the academic ramifications for discovering you are indeed a cat. You'll also find the latest on what City Council has been up to and a review of some pertinent films.
In this episode, we focused on Ontario's decisions surrounding Peterborough's proposed Official Plan. We also talked about Council voting against naloxone training, Provincial $2.5M funding for affordable housing, approved changes to Peterborough's "ABOMINATION" intersection, and more!
