Arthur's resident Cinevangelist is back for her monthly breach of containment, and this time she's been reading, which can only be bad news! By way of big words and sob stories, Evangeline scrutinizes the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Frotless mind, reading into it far more than should be allowed.
Known to be a place of joy, where families, students, elders, travellers, artists, and the community at large all came together to share a beer and forget their daily struggles. Among trays of Labatt’s 50 beer and trivia nights, something magic happened behind closed doors: all these characters became one single entity under the cherished wooden roof of the historic Pig’s Ear Tavern. The Brock Street bar has been standing for 152 years, dating all the way back to pre-confederation, slowly but surely becoming one of the most beloved and memorable spots in Peterborough, Ontario.
I will have officially spent one month at Nottingham Trent University on February 15th. I have learned so much during this time and continue to take advantage of all the opportunities this school and place offers. Further, I am learning how to navigate the challenges of living abroad.
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.
Issue Five features a centre spread in recognition of Black History Month made up of community contributors reflecting on aspects of Black identity in a local and global context. The re-opening of the Pig's Ear Tavern was major news for locals and so Irene Suvillaga sat down with the new owners for another installment of "Meet the Locals." An awkward and upsetting instance of white fragility in Council ends in a successful motion for Councillors to undertake mandatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Training. "Dear David" takes on the big questions of gender politics, Evan Robins returns with a theatrical cut for "Cinevangelism," and another dispath from our trusted writer abroad, Tru Van Wyk talks the ups and downs of life in Nottingham. Finally, we are excited at the return of PuzPuz Puzzles! Sit back, relax, and remember what you read!
We're back at it again like clockwork for Episode 2 of the Peterborough Politics Podcast. This week we delved into the latest city council meeting, specifically the deferral to add stronger language surrounding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to the community safety and well-being plan and exciting Waste Management changes.
