If given the opportunity to be James Franco for a day, would you take it? He’s creative, sensitive, prolific, and intellectual, but at the same time fashionably disaffected, hinting at a slightly tortured artistic soul. He makes risqué films that screen at Cannes and plans to direct William Faulkner and[Read More…]

Natalie Talmi – VP Internal
As you know, there are going be some major changes happening to Frosh next year. How do you feel about these changes, how do you feel that they’ve been handled by Tom Fabian, the current VP Internal? If they’re done correctly, which I feel I could do, then they could[Read More…]
McGill Opens New Centralized Service Point for Administrative Needs
McGill opened a new integrated service point in the recently renovated basement of the McLennan Library, designed to centralize administrative services for students. After nearly five years of planning and development, the $4.9 million renovation has created a new space offering assistance with registration and Minerva, the issuing of McGill[Read More…]
Re: McGill earns B+ in university sustainability rankings
So McGill only got a B+ rating for sustainability. It’s not that bad, and considering all the other stuff McGill has on its agenda, it should be happy it was able to pull that off. I mean, McGill could be like those other universities that spend all their time in[Read More…]

James Square – The Last Metal Handrails on Campus

SHOOTING OUT THE LIGHTS: It’s TSN’s time
Not that there was a contest, but with its new high-definition studio, TSN has solidified itself as the superpower of Canadian sports. In all realms of sports broadcasting, TSN is superior to its rivals at the CBC and Rogers Sportsnet. But what does having sports-broadcasting hegemony mean for the Canadian market?

CAMPUS: Muslim students association still searching
Students walking through campus will once again pass Muslim students praying in stairwells and on fields as the ongoing dispute between McGill and the Muslim Student Association over providing a prayer space drags into its second year.

NFL PREVIEW: I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
National Football Conference North Chicago Bears (10-6): If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Last year’s division champion will return all its starters from last season. While that’s good news for the defence-finished second in total yards and first in points allowed-it’s less so for the offence.
MY POINT … AND I DO HAVE ONE: Crazy like a fox
Thanks to the great privilege afforded to me by living north of the 49th parallel, I find the American right really funny. The Bill O’Reillys, the “These Colours Don’t Run” American-flag T-shirts, and everything Fox News has to offer are far more entertaining and, frankly, far less disingenuous than the earnest approach to conservative ideas put forward by the “liberals” of the Democratic Party or our own Conservative Party of Canada.
