To the girl on 90U floor nine with the fish flops, where did you get them? Asking for me.
Opinions
Finding work for the summer is usually a cause of stress for university students of all programs. However, international students at U of O (and other Canadian universities) have it even harder.
You claim you’re ‘fighting for our freedoms’, and yet, you’re verbally attacking those who disagree with your opinions.
Bell, let’s talk about money, how you treat your employees, prisons, and mental health.
Bill 21 is not the great equalizer it claims to be. How could it be, when all people are not being affected equally by it? Worse, when it infringes on citizens’ guaranteed Canadian fundamental freedoms?
Why is January 1st such an important date for us, in terms of establishing year-long goals? Is it because it represents a fresh, brand-new slate?
Whether your roommates are your friends, strangers, or even family members, living with another person is always going to result in compromise and (hopefully) mutual respect… or is it?
Every day I have Tinder, I get one day closer to spending the rest of my days in a cozy little cabin secluded in the Swiss Alps with nothing but a complete and utter estrangement from society and a sense of peace.
Did Katy Perry ever have a toxic ex, or was the Ontario government the one who was “hot and cold,” “yes and no,” and “up and down” all along?
“Scholars must remain vigilant whenever academic freedom collides with diversity. The former can be compromised by EDI activists, who in turn will only be pacified once their demands to censor ‘offensive’ remarks or ‘dangerous’ ideas are met by university administrators,” writes University of Ottawa school of sociological and anthropological studies professor Stuart Chambers.
Christmas season advertisements — they see you when you’re sleeping, they know when you’re awake.
“In seventeen years of teaching at the University of Ottawa, I have found that a majority of students are optimistic … This year, students were unanimous in their despair. Climate inaction was on their mind … Students could not come up with any solution that they believed would get us off our disastrous track,” writes professor Thomas Boogaart of the University of Ottawa’s department of history.
The U of O president’s report to the Senate did not provide the same updates in both languages when it came to the University’s reception of the academic freedom report. The updates in French were much more extensive, and the message very different — these updates should have been the same in both languages to not keep unilingual members of the U of O community in the dark.
With great power comes great responsibility The saying goes: sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Though usually a fan of cheesy sayings, I have to express my contempt for this one. Yeah, sticks and stones hurt — you’ve got me there. However, as a writer myself, I esteem …
It is clear that the term ‘public’ space is followed by an invisible asterisk.
I’ve been catcalled at both 7 a.m. and p.m., in short mini-skirts and long, formless winter coats alike, on busy streets and just shy of my doorstep — the street urchins of Sandy Hill are versatile in their efforts to ruin my day.
On Oct. 22, the Fulcrum’s Facebook page was unpublished for, allegedly, breaking Facebook’s page policies. Which policies? We couldn’t tell you. Since then, our editor-in-chief has launched two appeals to Facebook, but we still have yet to hear back from the social media giant.
A viral Instagram sticker that claimed one tree would be planted for every share was used over four million times before the creator of the sticker admitted its promise was false.
The waiting game is no fun Point: The frustrations with slow texters by Mariam Fawaz Are you really busy, or do you just simply not feel like texting back? Both are valid excuses — being unable to communicate your situation is where it gets frustrating. A quick “I’m busy” or “TTYL” will suffice. I don’t …
I am somehow able to detail my depressive episodes and panic attacks in semi-comedic writing for anyone and everyone to see without any semblance of hesitation. However, put me face to face with my best friend of ten years and, suddenly, I’m shy.
If you’re still reaching for a glass of milk right from the cow’s teat, I have a myriad of follow-up questions. Most importantly: why?
If I want to pull my Christmas playlist out or start putting peppermint oil in my diffuser, I should be able to without people whining about how it’s only November.
Halloween is a little pocket of time that lets us step away from our assignments and into fun costumes.
Costumes don’t have an expiry date, so why are we throwing them out?
Some people questioned why we bothered heading to campus during this obviously unsocial time. Sometimes we questioned it, too.
