<p>Greetings readers, my name is George Jacques, but my friends call me PJ.  I am a Mi&#8217;kmaq from Listuguj, QC, and I will be writing the Native issues blog regularly in hopes of sharing experiences and answering questions that you as readers, both Native and Non-Native, will have. Before I begin I would like to [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Some time ago, I worked for a video store to aid in the funding of my education. I worked the night shift, stocking shelves, sweeping popcorn and generally dealing with tweaked or burnt-out clientele. Fredericton after hours is a funny place. My first encounter with the man who would later become known – at least [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Well, we aren&#8217;t going to see an election call (this week, at least). The Bloc Quebecois announced Tuesday that it would support the government on Friday&#8217;s budget vote, and Wednesday the NDP said that it would support the Conservatives&#8217; changes to EI. And this probably serves everyone well- the Tories, the Liberals, NDPs, and Bloquistes, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Matt McCann &#8211; The Aquinian So, Sunday marked the end of the federal government’s first string of public copyright consultations since 2001, during which Canadians were invited to voice their concerns about how copyright laws effect their lives, how long rights should last, and how best to foster innovation and competition in an increasingly digital [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Rodney Mann &#8211; The Aquinian Throughout my career as a student at UNB, I’ve been reading the student publications from both UNB and STU, and aside from an article or two per year, there has never been too much interest in politics, specifically Canadian and provincial politics. Admittedly, I never saw the importance of politics [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Emily Peiffer &#8211; The Aquinian When I was little, I often daydreamed about where I would travel to when I grew up. This summer, I spent four months backpacking Uruguay and nine other Latin American countries along with it, just as I dreamed when I was little. Yet my trip this summer involved a good [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Maiko Tanabe &#8211; The Aquinian With piles of documents to fill in, courses to choose, English assessments to take, campus activities to participate in and a jetlag to deal with, some new international students already feel as tired as if they were in the middle of a semester under piles of assignments. This year, St. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Matt McCann It was an eventful summer, to say the least, in the sometimes-insular world of New Brunswick’s print media, but I came away from it with a greater understanding of the communal nature of responsibility and duty in a newsroom. In June, writing in a Saturday opinion piece, Toronto Star public editor Kathy English [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Bailey White &#8211; The Aquinian Government provides debt relief, some conditions apply The New Brunswick provincial government introduced the Timely Completion Benefit this summer, a program set up to cap student debt.

<p>Alex Solak &#8211; The Aquinian Facebook loves to redesign itself.  It seems every few months their homepage goes through a massive shift.  They&#8217;ve added new features and applications, increased the size of the newsfeed, and have been shoving more items onto their pages. Today they&#8217;ve decided to take a step back with the launch of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Adam Wright &#8211; The Aquinian Welcome back! September is here, and that means a few things: back to classes, the NHL pre-season begins, the shakes from excessive caffeine return, and of course the fall TV season. The summer has treated us to some good shows, like the highly-addictive True Blood, the brilliantly-written Nurse Jackie and [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The Aquinian Big changes are afoot at the UNB/STU radio station, not the least of which is the hiring of new program manager Tom Richmond.

<p>Bailey White &#8211; The Aquinian A certain degree of civility is expected with social networking. There are real people, people you know, monitoring your network activity, and a lack of etiquette online can lead to a real-life awkward situation. Facebook has mastered the art of passive-aggressive social skills. Users can discretely choose to reject friend [&hellip;]</p>
