This editorial (see photo) was originally published in the Gauntlet on July 15, 1993. We, the current editorial board, decline to comment on whether or not we agree with the content of this piece. We do, however, commend our predecessors on using “drunk-guy-vomitting-all-over-his-once-a-year-cowboy-vest-on-a-C-Train-witnessing” in a sentence. Well done. This lovely editorial was brought to our… Continue reading Editorial: Yee-fucking-haw.

Editorial: Not so new era for video games
The demo for the video game starts on an unusual note — a man with his face covered walks into a desert encampment, holding the body of a wounded combatant. He shouts for help and three Middle Eastern men rush to his aid, their voices laced with concern for their injured comrade. As they lead… Continue reading Editorial: Not so new era for video games
Editorial: Pink slime is gross
It’s connective tissue, rectal tissue and spinal scraps– and it’s making its way into your ground beef. The notoriously unappealing substance known as ‘pink slime’ has outraged beef consumers and has given vegetarians another reason to scoff at hamburgers. Beef is cut and priced based on which part of the cow it is sliced from.… Continue reading Editorial: Pink slime is gross
Editorial: Please stop visiting us
A decidedly unpopular royal couple is paying us a visit this month, but oddly, we seem to be paying the bill. The trip garnered a largely muted and uninterested response from Canadians, unless the cost of the trip is mentioned. There is no better way to engage someone in a debate about the contemporary relevancy… Continue reading Editorial: Please stop visiting us
Editorial: Summer UPass woes
It’s expensive to ride Calgary Transit. $2.75 is a hefty fee for a single train ride and $94 is an equally hefty fee for a monthly transit pass — especially for students. In the last few weeks, evading fares has become a difficult task for transit users. With peace officers seemingly more diligent since the… Continue reading Editorial: Summer UPass woes
Editorial: Saying one thing, doing another
The Harper government’s new federal budget was presented as a series of fiscally responsible choices to reduce government spending in a difficult economic climate. However, the timing of some of the cuts seems to ignore the impending needs of a new generation of citizen-soldiers. Cuts to the budget of Veterans Affairs Canada affect one-to-one care… Continue reading Editorial: Saying one thing, doing another
Editorial: These are not the candidates you’re looking for
For the first time in years, the political opportunity many Albertans have been pining for, campaigning for and tirelessly working toward might be at hand– the chance to dethrone the provincially entrenched Progressive Conservatives. We asked for change, but perhaps we should have been more specific. In power since 1971, the pcs have never been… Continue reading Editorial: These are not the candidates you’re looking for
Editorial: A penny saved is $130 million earned
Dear fellow Canadians, the penny, our favourite copper currency (4.5 per cent copper plating on nickel and steel as of 2000, to be precise), has been scheduled for retirement. The sou noir has become nothing more than cumbersome pocket change, often abandoned or hoarded, useless for most purchases and nearly void of all value. The… Continue reading Editorial: A penny saved is $130 million earned
Editorial: Nenshi tweets it big time
Twitter is not kind to politicians. The convenience provided by the platform, combined with the thousands of guaranteed followers that come with being an elected official, makes it all too easy for a politician to broadcast a career-ending faux pas to the masses. As a result, the Twitter accounts of most politicians are almost always… Continue reading Editorial: Nenshi tweets it big time
Editorial: The woes of Quebec students
“Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” So sang Joni Mitchell. In the case of striking Quebec post-secondary students, they didn’t realize how good they had things until the government tried to change it. Even now Quebec students fail to realize that with the changes things… Continue reading Editorial: The woes of Quebec students
