Screw the west, get bad press

Thanks to him, I have twice the reading material when looking at cereal boxes.I vaguely remember social studies classes in high school concerning the FLQ crisis and the repatriation of the Canadian… Continue reading Screw the west, get bad press
Peculiar contest concerns editors
By Editorial
News that Dooie Stevens is giving away a set of breast implants as a prize hit our editorial board this week like a tidal wave of milk.

Editors, the Gauntlet,Re: “Lycra-loving men forge the fashion world,” Sept. 14, 2000Dear Todd Jackson,It is a pleasure to realize there still are many redneck Calgarians alive and well.

A second opinion on Spirits of Havana
Editors, the Gauntlet,Re: ‘Spirits of Havana anything but spirited,” Sept. 28, 2000Despite Ms. Anthony’s unfavourable review of Spirits of Havana, I went to see it and found it to be an excellent social and political commentary on modern-day Cuba.
