Sebastian Johnston-Lindsay reflects upon the lessons of activism and empathy we can learn when an elected official like Alex Bierk takes action and goes against the grain of "acceptable" forms of mutual aid.
I started reading the Bible around Christmas as a way to kill time. So far, I have finished Genesis and I am at the beginning of Exodus. I grew up non-religious. Therefore, I have met many atheists and non-religious people having prejudices against God and the Bible. Personally, I found stories in the Bible captivating. Even though I did not want to convert to Christianity, I read the Bible to educate myself on other people’s beliefs and religion.
Evan Robins presents an exhaustively-long investigation into the TCSA's ongoing attempts at student activism, detailing the Association's campaigns and initiatives, their continuing ventures into sponsorship and selling out, and how the union that preceded them portends to their own future direction.
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!
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.
This week we talked about Dave Smith being rude (sexist?) to Joy Lachica over a misunderstanding about how the Conservative Ontario government backed off a plan to defund the Ontario Arts Council by 15%. Thin skin much?
