We’ve all heard of women marrying for money. Platinum blonde golddiggers prancing around in faux Manolo Blahniks, doused in cheap perfume, pledging their love to an 89-year-old man with a bad cough. If you ask some sociologists though, they might tell you the very concepts of marriage and monogamy were originally motivated by economics. Before… Continue reading Marriage obsolete

Canadian military still obsolete
The Centre for Military and Strategic Studies continued its recent series of speakers last Thursday with an appearance by Dwight Mason, former U.S. chair of the Permanent Joint Board of Defense.

Canada’s obsolete army?
The validity of Canada’s armed forces has been called into question in the aftermath of September 11. As the United States’ closest neighbours, we have been expected to contribute a response to the attacks. Many feel Canada’s military is unqualified to aid the American effort, while others feel that Canada even having a military in… Continue reading Canada’s obsolete army?

Today, there is a widespread, contentious and controversial debate about circumcision because… Continue reading Circumcision
The necessity of resistance
By Remi Watts
Our era has been polluted, perhaps to the point of terminal illness, by the mechanisms and apparatuses of an immense behemoth: the hegemonic totality called Empire. Its machinations are global in scale, and the old alliances and divisions no longer matter. It is no longer east versus west or democracy versus Islam or any other… Continue reading The necessity of resistance
Recyclables’ cycle may end in landfill
By Amy Badry
Old electronics — computers, cell phones and other hardware — cause health and environmental concerns if not recycled properly.

U of C associate director of supply chain management and distribution services Dave Miners said computers and electronics… Continue reading Recyclables’ cycle may end in landfill
Filmmaking for cheap at local festival
As time passes and we become more entrenched in this digital age, we forget about the importance of analog. Audiophiles argue that the warm sound provided by a record cannot be compared to the tin sound of CDs. A similar attitude gave rise to Calgary’s $100 Film Festival, now in it’s 19th year, which showcases… Continue reading Filmmaking for cheap at local festival
Canada should reform its electoral system
Based on recent media reports and the rhetoric adopted by the three federal parties, election season is here again. Despite all the “Canadians don’t want an election” talk and complaints about the cost, if you’re anything like me, you’ll find this election entertaining. While waiting for ours, I amused myself by watching the British, Australian… Continue reading Canada should reform its electoral system
