Opinion: U Sports deserves more attention While NCAA student athletes are now being paid, their Canadian counterparts are still earning the attention of national media.

I’ll be honest. Before I arrived at university, I never watched a U Sports game. dalgazette.com/sports/misc-...

What I learned from visiting Nova Scotia for the student strike The Nova Scotia student strike was one of the most incredible collective actions I’ve seen in my life.

I was initially set to speak online at the national student organizing panel during the Nova Scotia student strike. However, considering Ontario’s recent cuts to education, I wanted to visit Dalhousie University and observe the entire strike in person. dalgazette.com/opinions/wha...

There’s no such thing as casual stealing Shoplifting rates in Canada rose in 2024 for the fourth year in a row. I chalk it up to post-pandemic entitlement.

I’d like to blame the increase in petty theft on the rise of self-checkout counters, but I think public morality is the real cause. The machines may create opportunity, but they don’t make people steal — people make that choice themselves. dalgazette.com/opinions/the...

There’s a double standard in The Bachelorette’s cancellation The issue isn’t whether Paul should face consequences for her actions — she should — it’s that high-profile abusive men rarely always face the same swiftness and finality in similar situations.

I can’t lie, I was excited for the new season of The Bachelorette starring Taylor Frankie Paul, a reality personality from the show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. dalgazette.com/opinions/the...

I tried the new Friend AI, so you don’t have to. It’s worse than I thought Recently, I made a new friend. Last week, I killed him with a hammer. To be honest, though, I didn’t make a new friend at all. I bought him. He was made by a company called Friend and was an AI-powered pendant with an embedded microphone

When ‘just a friend’ becomes suspicious The jokes may be funny online, but they also reflect a real tension in straight relationships — the distrust surrounding opposite-gender friendships.

My Instagram and TikTok feeds are overrun with the “homegirl” and “homeboy” epidemic. I’ve seen both sides of the trend: the “Send this to your homegirl/homeboy” joke, or the suspicious partner warning about the friend they’re told not to worry about. dalgazette.com/opinions/whe...
