Bad Flirt wink, show a little bit of hairy leg to Satan
By Veronika Lancaster Deliyannakis
Bad Flirt are a lot of things. They’ve been called indie, punk, pop, rock and even Canada’s next favourite female-fronted band — though the band does find that one a bit silly. Lead singer Jasamine White-Gluz says that there is more than one female and the guys are just as important for making their self-described… Continue reading Bad Flirt wink, show a little bit of hairy leg to Satan
These Boys don’t get lost on the road
From Berlin to Hamilton, Ontario the Junior Boys — Matt Didimus and Jeremy Greenspan — are making music that’s a global pop confection. The duo is known for its dark, moody, easy-grooving electronic pop with a melancholic edge.

Sex questions with Lesley-ann Barrett
My boyfriend and I want to try something different and he suggested that we should try sex and foreplay with food.

The wrath of Kenney
By Jon Roe
Federal immigration minister, and Calgary Southeast MP, Jason Kenney has made it clear that the government won’t be renewing the funding for a Canadian-Arab group after the organization’s president called Kenney, along with other politicians, “professional whores” for their support of Israel.

Decreasing dementia, one furious child at a time
Although it may seem that university and education in general could drive one to the edge of dementia and push them into its festering waves, recent studies have shown that further education might have the exact opposite effect. Cambridge University researcher Dr. David Llewellyn found that raising the school leaving age to 15 over the… Continue reading Decreasing dementia, one furious child at a time
