I wish I could begin this article with, “the blogosphere is alight with chatter about…” but that would be an exaggeration. However, there is a fairly busy comment feed on an Edmonton Journal story about a feature published by the University of Alberta’s campus paper, the Gateway, on March 4.
If you want to read the [...]

If you’ve ever been camping in the mountains, you would have seen signs plastered around that say, “Don’t feed the bears,” and warn against leaving food around your campsite.
However, I don’t think you have to live in Canada to know that you shouldn’t feed a bear.
Apparently 47-year-old Tracy Weiler was never informed about the dangers [...]

Watching the Oscars Sunday night with some of my closest peeps we came to a stellar revelation. The refreshing idea that either a black man or a woman could win an Oscar for Best Director (both a first) made for a lovely parallell for the Democratic ticket race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Yes it [...]

So I’ve never been to a Factory Party before.
I’ve always thought of it as one of those elite events for the city’s hipsters, but as a friend of mine recently explained to me, it’s a gathering for all types of Calgarians, from all walks of life, and all levels of personal style.
I can’t help but [...]

I know it isn’t just me.
That career fair wasn’t all that I expected it to be. To tell the truth, I didn’t do a lot of in-depth digging because I was manning the Reflector booth (thanks for dropping by, all those who did!) or in class for most of it. But a few passes through [...]

So I’ve recently purchased a TV series on DVD, which I will try not to go into to much detail about, as my friends can attest to, I won’t stop talking about it once I get going. All I’ll say is: 21 Jump Street… watch it. Amazing.
But in the past weeks that I have been [...]

While a lot of people tend to take to the more “exciting” Olympic sports like  hockey and skeleton and skating…I’m a bit of a different cat. When I sit down with my ice cold beer and clam my Olympic sport of choice…curling.
Scotties Tournament of Hearts, The Brier, the Olympics and of course the thousands of [...]

The halls are pretty quiet here at Mount Royal today. To those of you who are off “reading” in tropical climates, or “reading” while you watch some amazing speed skating in Vancouver, or “reading” while you indulge in a few rounds of Jager-bombs, I totally hope you enjoy yourself. Seriously.
For the rest of us, who [...]

Almost time for Super Bowl Sunday everyone! I’ve been on a bit of a health kick lately but will more than likely disreguard that action for potato skins, wings and copious amounts of beer as I cheer on the Saints this coming Sunday.
That’s right I said Saints, I think after all their home town has [...]

You may have noticed that there’s a fair bit of chatter around Calgary right now concerning the cost of tuition. At the University of Calgary, some professional programs are facing potential increases of up to 47 per cent in some circumstances. Even though the province made a promise to students that tuition wouldn’t rise more [...]
