Community Contributor, James Forrester, reflects upon the history of American invasion over the course of colonial history in North America. Along the way, Forrester links the recent rise of right-wing extremism to the mass consumption of American disinformation as a new means of "invading" Canada.
After a month of finance committee meetings and painstaking debates on everything from paramedics to pickleball, the City of Peterborough finally has a 2023 budget. Arthur has been on the ground covering the deliberations and drama as it unfolded: These are the highlights
Meetings regarding Cleantech Commons between the City of Peterborough and Trent University have resumed under the the City's new Mayor and Council. Both parties told Arthur that the meetings were "productive" but also preliminary.
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!
Leo Groarke paddles away from accountability and onto the front page of Arthur's November issue. We have everything here from bathroom politics to the experiences of teaching candidates and how Gzowski College plans to spend its COVID surplus. This issue also featured the resurrection of Lillith - a feminist self-representation insert featuring art, poetry, and prose created in recognition of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence.
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!
