If you don’t know, now Juno
Canada’s 2012 Juno Awards went off without a hitch. Festivities have been popping up for months in anticipation of one final sparkly shebang in Ottawa, a city that’s impossible to hate even as it snowed Sunday like some sort of cruel April Fool’s gag. The Gauntlet, your favourite student-run weekly rag, somehow managed to scrounge… Continue reading If you don’t know, now Juno
So it all goes to shit
Well, we’re all fucked. Just when you thought it was safe to trust student journalism again, a new round of editors gets elected with the platform of screwing everything up as much as possible.

OpenFile offers community news
Community newsletters are a rather limited source of news, but for many Calgarians, that was once the only place to find information about local affairs.

Basset hounds taste olympic glory
“I want everyone quiet please, so the dogs can focus.” There were no fancy bells or pistols as about half a dozen excited and drooling basset hounds lined up between black cardboard cutouts shaped like their silhouettes awaiting the call to race. The entire track, roughly 12 feet across, was all that stood between them… Continue reading Basset hounds taste olympic glory
New rules to clubs applying for SU conference and events funding
For many students, traveling to conferences is the highlight of a university experience, though sometimes a very expensive highlight. The Students’ Union has offered financial assistance to students traveling to academic and non-academic events for years now, but recently changed the funding structure to close a loop-hole. Last year, each conference was capped at $1250… Continue reading New rules to clubs applying for SU conference and events funding
