A letter: BSDRY
Editor, the Gauntlet, You fools, what have you done?! That was a particularly vicious and mean-spirited prank you pulled last week, claiming that Bermuda Shorts Day was going to be a dry event.

Brownís latest lost cause for late night studying
Dan Brown’s works present a paradox, and not because they are jammed full of codes and puzzles to break. They are the type of fiction ideally suited to consumption by sleepy readers incapable of following along with denser, more literary works.

An absentee Canadian? In defence of Ignatieff
Given the unbridled ambition involved in politics, there is a certain absurdity to a party suggesting that a rival politician is only in it for himself.

Bad decisions about booze
Despite alcohol use and misuse being such an important and potentially destructive issue for students, the Students’ Union has decided to forgo alcohol awareness week this year. The rationale for discontinuing the event hinges on its supposed lecture-like nature and the idea that putting everything into one week is simply too much. SU vice-president events… Continue reading Bad decisions about booze
The benefits of not voting
With our southern neighbours engaged in one of the most interesting elections in recent memory, Canadians can feel proud that they decided to assert their independence and largely ignore the election here. Although the lowest voter turnout in Canadian history has garnered much negative publicity, there are actually a number of reasons that such a… Continue reading The benefits of not voting
The rise of bleeding heart conservatism
In an attempt to connect with the ever-greening Canadian electorate, Stephen Harper has decided to try his hand at bleeding heart conservatism. At a campaign stop in Calgary on Sept. 26, Harper promised that, if elected, the Conservative government would ban the export of bitumen to nations whose environmental laws weren’t as stringent as those… Continue reading The rise of bleeding heart conservatism
