Remembering Canada's Heroes
A shadow draws darkness upon the province of Saskatchewan as family, friends and fans come to terms with the death of Sandra Schmirler. It is not often that a whole community, a whole province, a whole country and the whole world mourns the loss of one person.
Many of these people never met the Olympic champion but still feel like they have lost a friend. For those like myself, who did not have the honour of knowing her, she was a friend whose bright smile transcended the pictures and television broadcasts into our lives and hearts.
Ring Those Phones
I recently had the pleasure of seeing my first live Telemiracle. I used to see it as an interruption to my regularly scheduled programming. Once in awhile, somebody I knew would sing. So I would tune in for five minutes, then flip to Much Music. But when you see it live, it gives you a whole new perspective. Believe me, it's a whole lot louder in the stands at the Center of the Arts.
A side note about teenagers - I can't wait until I turn twenty so that I can do more valid complaining about you people. I can understand enthusiasm, but constant ear piercing shrieks and yells for country singer Julian Austin to "Take off his shirt - now!" can get a little annoying. Then there was the guy I, laughably, called a security guard.
Letter: Reaction to 'Band Dropped' Story
Congratulations to the Feminist Action Committee in their decision to not allow Real Slow Drag to perform during the Women's Mosaic based on the band having two men. They took a chance to show everyone what they are all about and instead confirmed what most people think they are all about: women who hate men.
To claim that this article was not a personal attack against particular members of the Feminist Action Committee would be a gross understatement. FAC is a student organized and operated committee which seeks to enhance equality of opportunity for women and to educate and inform of women's struggles in a traditionally patriarchal society.
Can't live on $300,000: Cry me a river!
This week's forum was taken from the Globe and Mail's Review section (February 26, 2000) front page. It was an entire 2 page article on the plight of Canadians who make around $300,000 a year and have difficulty paying their bills. This panel consisted of Sheri Block, arts editor, Christine Hanson, opinions editor, Kim Krett, Sports editor, Ryan Normand, writer, Erin Hidlebaugh, News editor, Tanis Fowler, writer, and Bonny Tran, writer.
