<p>You don&#8217;t have good taste. Par example, the movies you watch generally look as if they were directed by a half-blind coma patient with delusions of grandeur. Now, before you get all upset—god, it&#8217;s infuriating how easily you get upset—let me explain: You have really bad taste. What I used just there is a special technique I&#8217;ve developed. By denouncing the things you like, I&#8217;ve denied your existence any meaning. Thus, you are reminded of my superiori

<p>Canada-U.S. relations are important to both nations. The bilateral relationship the two countries share is one of the most extensive and encompassing in the world. The volume of bilateral trade between the two is astronomical, approximately $1.6 to 1.9 billion every day in goods travel between the two borders. In addition to this staggering number, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>As you may have noticed, our neighbor university has a conflict between the Association of UNB Teachers and the UNB administration. The AUNBT went on strike, and the administration has locked them out. The strike is extremely peaceful so far with AUNBT protesting the proposed increase by UNB administration to their wages as miniscule and [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I&#8217;m torn about how to feel about the UNB faculty strike. I generally want to support workers, but I&#8217;m worried for the students. If life were easier the UNB faculty and administration would have quickly come to an agreement and that would have been that, but it doesn&#8217;t seem to want to work out just [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This past week my old world and my new one collided, head-on. Since the beginning of the Molchanov controversy, it’s been a stressful time for many people here at STU. Starting at the upper levels of the administration right on down to, and including, the journalism department and the students involved in writing about the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>When political events go off without a hitch, they&#8217;re often well-crafted masterpieces with many different architects. However, when certain anomalies spring to life, it sometimes brings excitement to our otherwise boring lives. One of these moments occurred on Jan. 6 during a Vancouver Board of Trade meeting. Stephen Harper was preparing to participate in a [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I hope your winter break was enjoyable, because for me it was filled with anxiety of the world being turned upside down. Let’s dive into a major hotbed, South East Asia. First, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea, is a country of millions of people who may or may not be enslaved [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I&#8217;m not a religious person, but I do see some of the good that comes from religion. Recently, Pope Francis confessed he goes to confession every two weeks. Francis claims even priests and the pope are sinners, BBC reports, and all should seek reconciliation. Is the pope an important figure in the modern age? Some [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I’m no doubt preaching to the choir here when I say I think marijuana should be legalized. And that’s an opinion that would stand just as firmly in a university paper today as it would have had I been writing during the good old “drug, sex and rock-and-roll” days in the &#8217;70s. The difference is [&hellip;]</p>

<p>In this stressful time of year, problems itch at the back of our minds like little bug bites. At Holy Cross House there are often literal bug bites. There has been a bedbug infestation at Holy Cross. The first student to notice the bugs, Woody Brown, knew he had a infestation only three days after [&hellip;]</p>

<p>ANTIGONISH (CUP) — On Oct. 15, Maclean’s On Campus published an article titled Why universities should quit adding more breaks, making a case about why Canadian universities should not add a fall study break period to their academic calendars. The author outlined that a further reduction of class time would hinder students’ abilities to cope [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Patrick Dion’s lecture at the Kinsella auditorium on Thursday made me wonder why an ever increasing number of Canadians are struggling with mental health issues. One reason, I think, is that our world seems to be more about doing more and doing it all at the same time. An underlying philosophy of quantity over quality [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Is the U.S. purposefully trying to destroy any ability for the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan to domesticate the Taliban through peace talks? It seems that&#8217;s the case. On Nov. 1, the leader of the Tehreek-e-Taliban, had its leader, Hakimullah Mehsud, killed by a drone strike in Northern Pakistan by the U.S., according to the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>A few weeks ago, my journalism class was treated to a presentation from the STU Writing Centre regarding basic grammar and punctuation. While answering questions for the class and taking notes, I thought, &#8220;These are things we should have learned in middle school.&#8221; My professor asked for the presentation after noticing some students were struggling [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Some people are excited about the funding solution the government and the university have come to. Others are angry at the suggestion that this agreement is a solution. Most students are happy about getting $184 back in their pocket. It’s not a solution to student debt, but it’s a step in the right direction. It [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Fellow Students, In response to the article entitled &#8220;STU&#8217;s tuition settled,&#8221; I feel the only reasonable reaction is to ask, how is this issue really resolved? The article explains that the impact of the hike has been lessened, but to suggest that the whole issue of tuition is &#8220;settled&#8221; or &#8220;resolved&#8221; is excessive, considering the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>After the 2009 recession, there was a rise in a previously unknown party called Golden Dawn (GD). During the 2012 elections in Greece, GD won 18 seats in the 300-seat parliament. Why is GD constantly in the headlines when it only gained seven per cent of the vote in Greece? It&#8217;s a neo-nazi party, which [&hellip;]</p>

<p>It’s a well-known fact that young people don’t vote as much as other demographics, and there&#8217;s suggestions as to why. I would like to suggest that young people in university don’t vote because voting away from home is more hassle than it’s worth. I didn&#8217;t vote in the recent Nova Scotia election, but not by my own choosing. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>For the few who may not be aware of what happened at the Jeffrey Simpson guest lecture in the Brian Mulroney Hall last Thursday, I’ll quickly recap. Much of the gist of Simpson’s lecture was that young people under 30 don’t vote and don’t involve themselves in the political process. Simpson basically invited the audience, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>To the Editor, I just wanted to address something as a STUdent and give an opinion that, I think, needs to be said. Last Thursday evening, during a political science lecture offered by the university, a journalism student publicly commented that much of our generation has a low interest in politics due to a general [&hellip;]</p>
