Diets need to go on the burner
October 16, 2009
BY CARMEN BROSSEAU Staff Reporter
Now that Thanksgiving is over for another year, I get to assess the damage. But is damage really a bad thing when you’re feasting on all the holiday trimmings? Why is it that weight commercials always come out in full force once holidays roll around? It just ruins the mood. I want to sit back, and enjoy the festivities without thinking of my daily calorie intake. Weight issues and the need to lose weight are always pushed down our throats. I’m eating right now as I’m writing this and I can say to those companies with confidence: back off!

Doomsday to-do list: stop worrying
October 16, 2009
BY MEAGAN THIBEAULT Staff Reporter
Iran recently announced the existence of a new uranium enrichment plant, but they may as well have called it a “doomsday device”.
After all, the site is shrouded in the adjective “secret” and it’s built into the side of a mountain. The description sets the scene for a conventional action flick. But it’s real.

Canada deserves more hockey
October 16, 2009
BY COREY JOHNSON Managing Editor
This past weekend was a stressful one in the Johnson household. Not only did I have my thesis to work on, not only did I spent 20 hours at my other job, not only am I battling a sickness which I’m convinced will turn into the swine flu, but more disturbing than any of that: I read an alarming article.

Is anyone really surprised?
October 16, 2009
BY MARK MILLARD Editor-in-Chief
I’ll admit that this is a fairly biased piece; after all I am an avid fan of the Montreal Canadiens. Sure, they aren’t doing anything special by any means, but they at least possess some weapons offensively. They are playing without one of the top defenseman in the league due to injury, have a 22-year-old starting goaltender and most notable of all, they’ve made the playoffs four out of the last five years.

Olympic gold Tiger’s last prey
October 16, 2009
BY COREY JOHNSON
Managing Editor
When the International Olympic Committee announced last week that the sports of golf and rugby would be added to the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympic Games, all I could think of was: Tiger Woods did this.
Tiger Woods may be the most famous professional athlete in the world. In my opinion, nobody has dominated their sport more than Woods. Not Wayne Gretzky, not Michael Jordan, not Brett Favre, not even Michael Phelps (who cannot be pleased after Chicago lost the 2016 Olympics to Rio de Janeiro. Phelps was the face of the Olympic bid, maybe it should have been Tiger?)
