With everything being shut down a lot of people have been left to their own devices. There’s basically nothing to do except panic-buy groceries, and, well, just panic. But do you wanna know who’s not panic-buying groceries? People who have gardens. Why would you need to panic-buy when you can do your produce shopping straight from your backyard? So if you’re looking for […]
Due to the latest public health recommendations surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, many companies, both small and large are seeing the need to engage in significant business changes. On March 23, Ontario Premier Doug Ford ordered that all non-essential businesses close their doors in an effort to stop the spread of the virus, effective on Mar 24, at 11:59 p.m. Despite […]
In the spirit of St Patrick’s Day, it would seem to be appropriate to prepare students on how to best cope with their post-Ezra hangovers via greasy and filling fast food. All things considered — i.e. the whole suspended classes, social isolation thing — condoning large gatherings isn’t exactly a morally, ethically, or hygienically sound idea.

Sometimes considering your options is the best course of action, so here […]
If there’s anything I’ve learned as a student, it’s how to save money where I can. At the same time though, there’s no reason not to make every effort to have fun and enjoy yourself even when you’re living frugally. With the combination of reading week and slightly warmer weather (we’re in the positives now), I couldn’t help but think […]
The coronavirus was unprecedented, but so is the racism that has come along with it. Before we even knew anything about the coronavirus, all of the drugstores in Kitchener-Waterloo were sold out of hand sanitizer. One month later, supposed discount retailers were marking up packages of non-certified surgical masks for triple the price. While this was absurd to me, perhaps […]

Do we watch and laugh at the sheer perplexity of it all or do we shield our eyes, ashamed of our segregation from the mutually admired? I believe I’ve found a solution, a way for single […]
With Valentine’s Day coming up, there might be some things you may want to consider if you have roommates. Sex happens. Hookups happen. And sometimes, random guests show up at your apartment and leave their razor scooter at the door — and that’s okay! Generally speaking, sharing things with your roommates is great: but not everyone you live with will […]
