Trent's School for the Study of Canada honoured the retirement of Professor Michele Lacombe and recognized the achievements of undergraduate students at Traill College.
Bethan explores the best ways to travel Canada as an international student, including top tips for saving money and making the most of a long weekend, even including a ranking of some of her favourite locations.
Co-Editor Sebastian Johnston-Lindsay tagged along on a day-trip to Windy Pine Conference Centre in Haliburton County to see what awaits a new crop of graduate students in the Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies.
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!
This episode features City Councilor Alex Bierk and his friend Chad. We also had the chance to recount a couple of Peterborough headlines that caught our eye. The Parkway is finally dead (or is it?), Federal Workers are on strike, and Dave Smith has joined Michelle Ferreri on Russia's Foreign Ministry's list of banned Canadians.
