It’s October. That means a few things: snow (probably), midterms (unfortunately), and most importantly, chocolate. I went out on a limb and looted the Superstore candy aisle for name-brand chocolate with a twist, and enlisted Brett Boyd’s help for taste testing the...
It has been almost two years since the first wave of the COVID pandemic. This has led to inevitable job losses for both full- and part-time workers. The uncertainty of a part-time job and fluctuating income while navigating school can lead to increased stress among...
At the start of the pandemic in 2020, I did what literally everyone else did: I started to binge watch Netflix. It started with Love is Blind and progressed to Tiger King. I wondered what I was doing with my life and why I was literally flushing my time away with...

On Sept. 15, Jason Kenney and the United Conservative Party government declared a state of public health emergency due to the significant increase in COVID cases, COVID-related deaths, and the exhaustion of the Alberta health care system. Along with declaring a...
In the inevitable lull of summer TV programming, I did what any bored university student with no homework and way too much time on their hands would do: I went content surfing. This is where I came across The Tomorrow War and ended up on a 138-minute sci-fi action...
I completed some of my university education before the pandemic, so I know what it’s like to drive to campus and sit through in-person classes five days a week. Having spent the last eight months taking university courses online, I have to say that I would be happy...
