Getting on track

Canadians don’t think enough about trains — just, like, generally. Sure, we understand that the rail network is responsible for the domestic transportation of almost everything we buy, but most people’s direct experiences with freight trains involve shaking their...

Garbage in the gallery

On the main floor of Allard Hall, inside of the Mitchell Gallery, there is an exhibit that features nothing but trash.  The works on display, created by Leanne Olson and curated in the gallery by Carolyn Jervis, represent Olson’s observations during her year as an...

What’s a city to do?

Edmonton City Council joined a number of other Canadian municipalities on Aug. 27 of this year by voting in favour of declaring that the dangers of climate change constitute an emergency. The motion was passed with 10 councillors in favour and three opposed, and...

Mental health is a journey, not a destination

As exam time rapidly approaches and we prepare to say goodbye to yet another semester, it's easy to understand the rising level of stress and anxiety. Students, for the most part, put everything they have into these formative years where we work to get a degree in...

In fiscal pain

On Oct. 24, the newly elected United Conservative Party (UCP) released its first budget, which cuts funding for universities in a number of ways. The Fiscal Plan 2019-23, which is available on the Government of Alberta website, contains a five per cent cut to...

Pippin to hit the stage this month

With winter upon us, students may be looking for some fun indoor entertainment options. Luckily for us, MacEwan University’s theatre season has got our backs! For the first time in their 30-year history, MacEwan Theatre will be performing their rendition of Pippin....

Wherever you go, they’ll be there. You might meet them on the bus, in a hotel room, even when travelling by airplane. They’ll come home with you uninvited, and are almost impossible to get rid of once they’ve moved in. Expensive and inconvenient don’t even cover it...

Date Night

We all know what ice skating is. With regards to endorsing the activity as a good way to spend an afternoon with a newly met date or loved one — which it is — there is probably not much use in describing it. Instead, the idea here is to remind people that it exists...

Student Travels

When it comes to winter getaways, it is fair to say we, here in Western Canada, have hit the jackpot. With the Rockies by our side, we can ski to our heart's content, enjoy any of the many other winter sports available, or just drive through a winter wonderland...

Three months of insanity

Once upon a time, on the pretty messed up app known as Grindr, I met someone. He was completely okay that I am female to male transgender, and we had common interests in Star Wars, Marvel, a queer Australian dramedy called Please Like Me, and politics. He invited...

Club Q+A: Feminists of MacEwan

What is feminism? TQ: Feminism is an intersectional movement which aims to address as much oppression as possible, with the goal of being equitable, so it’s not just about gender. When we say intersectional, we are also observing how discrimination can be...

The Alberta Paranormal Investigators Society

A lot of us love to watch ghost hunting shows such as Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural or Ghost Adventures. However, in all seriousness, how many of us are aware that the Alberta Paranormal Investigators Society investigates paranormal activity in our neighborhoods?...

Final thoughts: Climate change

The Amazon is burning — the lungs of the Earth are rapidly collapsing in size. Greenland is the first to lose a glacier — 12.5 billion tons of ice. According to the BBC, the ice melt raised sea levels by more than a millimeter and can affect coastal cities around...
