<p>She wore a tight, black skirt showing off a pair of clean shaved legs. Her hips moved playfully to the beat of the music. Red lips revealed a set of white teeth; her dark eyes twinkling as she moved towards her prey. Her arms around his neck, they soon vanished into the crowd, a pair [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The last year has been full of strikes and lockouts &#8211; postal workers, Acadian Lines workers, various unions at Air Canada, transit workers in Halifax, workers at Caterpillar locomotive plant in London, Ont. and the workers at the Fredericton Airport, to name a few. We are likely entering an era where labour disruptions are becoming [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I have a love-hate relationship with the United Nations. I love the idea of 193 nations working together to solve international problems of economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian significance. But I hate that U.N. members place priority on their national agendas, often preventing the body from formulating solutions to global issues. I hate the reality [&hellip;]</p>

<p>A number of Twitter accounts of St. Thomas University students and at least one account used by the university have been compromised by users clicking on spam messages. The STU students&#8217; union election account was also affected. The affected accounts are sending direct messages, or private messages, to other accounts. There are a few variations [&hellip;]</p>

<p>In the U.S. last week, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal affirmed a district court judgment finding California’s controversial gay marriage ban unconstitutional in the case of Perry vs. Brown, also known as the Proposition 8 case. The court ruled 2-1 that “Proposition 8 serves no purpose and has no effect, other than to lessen [&hellip;]</p>

<p>As alumni and current students come together to celebrate the memories of the Lady Beaverbrook Rink, a small group of middle-aged men collaborate in the corner. For photos from the game click here.  Dressed elegantly, they hold a beer in one hand, while using their other to motion as they tell stories and relive their [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I think it’s fair to say that society – especially in North America – has begun to view sex in a much more casual way than it did in our arguably prude past. What was once a never-before-marriage ordeal, is becoming something that many people just do for fun – some more than others. But [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I had my first boyfriend in the summer of Grade 9. I couldn’t resist his stringy facial hair that resembled a bag of Mr. Noodles. I went wild for his Metallica T-shirts; it was probably the gigantic rips in the arm pits that lured me in. He was my knight in shining armor. I loved [&hellip;]</p>

<p>You know it’s over when the guy you’re seeing says, “You need to stop liking me.” To be honest, I’ve never had the best luck when it comes to guys. Maybe it’s because I never really stopped crushing on Kristian Swan, my great unrequited Grade 7 love, until my last years of high school; or [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I wanted to take a break this week to talk to you about a little curry treat that occupies a lot of my culinary time. It is a wonderful blend of some of God’s greatest ingredients, and bears a name many seem to pronounce like they’ve had a retainer lodged down their throats. A shawarma [&hellip;]</p>

<p>With the biggest advertising day of the year behind us, the AQ’s Laura Brown asks why young people are so obsessed with certain brands     &nbsp; As people across North America wind down after one of the most anticipated sporting events in the world, some advertisers are tickled pink. After all, the ads they [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The world consumes three million tons of cocoa per year, earning chocolate manufacturers more than $62.1 billion U.S. annually, while those relying on cocoa growing for their livelihoods struggle to survive. Facing harsh economic realities, cocoa farmers do what they feel they must in order to make a living. That often involves human rights violations [&hellip;]</p>

<p>There is no budget crisis. Or, to be more precise, there is no spending problem. We don’t need massive budget cuts. The provincial budget woes are caused by a lack of revenue, not a spending problem. Provincial Finance Minister Blaine Higgs wants us to believe that the province’s finances leave us on the verge of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I’ve been called insensitive and lazy, the worst reporter in the world. People say I’m sensationalist, only looking for a “good story,” that I disregard the facts, don’t do research, and certainly don’t care about people’s feelings – especially those of Harrington residents. Or at least that’s what some readers think I’m like. As editor-in-chief [&hellip;]</p>

<p>An Open Letter to Justin Brown: Dear Justin, What exactly are you trying to tell your fellow students? Is this meant as satire; I for one don’t find it funny when you say an art’s degree is useless. Why even bother going to school here if that’s true. The saddest part is that that statement [&hellip;]</p>

<p>St. Thomas University closed at 2:3o p.m. today due to a snowstorm that is expected to dump 20 centimeters of snow on the city. University spokesperson Jeffrey Carleton said the cafeteria and study hall in McCain hall will remain open. University of New Brunswick confirmed the Harriet Irving Library  is keeping regular hours today. A sign on the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Change, as the premier said time after time, is coming to the way the New Brunswick government does business. It’s to come to the structure of government through blandly-named government renewal, an effort to refocus government on “core services, accountability, and continuous performance improvement,” to quote Alward’s address. The provincial budget, due in March, is [&hellip;]</p>

<p>About a year ago I woke up, got out of bed, took one step, and felt my knee grind against its socket. I took a step with my other leg. Same thing. For about a week I walked around with my knees grinding, clicking or popping with every step, then I went to my doctor. [&hellip;]</p>
