It is going to take a lot for Calgary Transit to catch up with the service offered by other big cities in Calgary, but I’m excited to see that they are on their way to becoming less archaic! Look this summer for the ability to buy c-train tickets using a credit or debit card…
Recent news: on July 4, Canada Safeway has announced that by 2015, it plans to only sell sustainably-farmed seafood. I must confess that the news, when I first heard it, made me feel something like this: Safeway’s promise puts it in the company of many other major supermarket chains that have committed to selling nothing…

When the design of the Peace Bridge was first unveiled to the public, many Calgarians roared with disapproval and haven’t changed their attitude since.
During this time one year ago, the BP Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico was finally sealed completely, after 17-39 million gallons of oil had been spilled. I want to commemorate this occasion with an overview of some issues surrounding the oil and gas industry today. I know this sounds like a strange subject…
Yogi Bear is known to know no boundaries, to invade and essentially to disrupt lives of others. (Wow. That makes him sound really hateful, doesn’t it?) So what sets deer and the Yogi bear apart? Apparently the “summer snow” comprised of residue from trees, weeds and grass aren’t the only things strong- growing. If you…
Staaaaaaampeeeede! This could be the war cry of Calgary, although it’s certainly more a cry of elation than one of bloody battle. And why not? We’re entitled to our fun, and the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is without a doubt one of the most fun events in Canada, if not all of North America…

On June 2, a few Calgarians likely became the first travellers aboard a plane to use marijuana legally, via utilizing a vapourizer. This wasn’t your Harold and Kumar’s smoking on the plane. That’s completely different. The four Calgarians were all headed to a conference on medicinal marijuana use. They were not harassed at all by…
Wait, what? If that’s what you are thinking right now, you’re in the same boat that I was when I first came across one of Nike’s new slogans. The sporting apparel giant has used the widely renowned “Just Do It” trademark for over 20 years, but has started up a new “Nike 6.0” campaign this month.
I chanced upon this article in a random web surfing trek: http://techland.time.com/2011/06/23/apple-removes-controversial-anti-israel-app-from-app-store/. I have always loved controversies and this is as good as any. Apple has recently deleted “The Third Intifada” app from its app store. The app provided updates on the latest Palestinian protests as well as anti-Israel publications. Some posts highlighted by the app has demanded…

After spending days in an anticipation-filled countdown for Sunday June 5, my dreams were somewhat crushed. Through my school’s involvement with the Youth Volunteer Corps, I had signed up to volunteer at the Calgary Enerflex MS Walk last Sunday.
