Editorial: Hit the hay elsewhere, Anders
Our hearts go out to the students who reside in the Calgary West riding. Since 1997 they have had the undue embarrassment of putting up with the ranting, snoozing and general ineffectiveness of their Member of Parliament, Robert J. Anders. However, Anders’s antics may finally be catching up with him, and we might now be… Continue reading Editorial: Hit the hay elsewhere, Anders
Slipping and sliding to Sled Island
Calgarians, buckle up for late nights, daily Tubby Dogs and a whole bunch of hearing loss. Sled Island is back this year and its rollicking line-up will make way for a procession of bleary-eyed hangovers — such is the magic of the music festival.

Pandas pulverized
By Sean Nyilassy and Lee Bogle
Riding a 7-1 record into the headquarters of the perpetually poor University of Alberta Pandas should statistically be an easy deuce of wins. Fortunately, the Dinos women’s basketball team knew better from some bad experiences in the past. “We learned from last year not to take teams lightly,” heroine and co-captain Lindsay Maundrell advised us.… Continue reading Pandas pulverized

Since the amalgamation… Continue reading Brandon University Bobcats an endangered species?
