When all is said and done, there are two things that I don't quit like as I approach the end of my university career. One of them is writers that use clichéd, overblown lines to open their paragraphs. The other is more serious, and although it is not isolated to the Redeemer community, it is far from foreign.  Some well-meaning Christians mistake their gut instincts for a conviction of truth, and call their actions zealous.

Many may groan when they hear this first point, but still, we must consider the effect of Mr. Lewis’s worldview on his presentation. Stephen Lewis made clear in his presentation that he is a philanthropist who hates the Church and the scriptures. This means that everything he said is coloured to the point that it is practically unusable for us as Christians. When he named a statistic he talked about causes and such. This can be misleading due to his purposes and lack of knowledge of God.

Universities, as a group, get a bad rap for promoting a liberal bias, and a lot of people, including a few from our own community, are asking ‘why’. It could be that the university community is more prone to public protest. It could also be that a false reputation has persisted from those hippies that emerged from the Cold War cloud, insisting on questioning the established order. Maybe each generation is just bound to battle with the precedents and patterns of the generation before. Perhaps it is our

I appreciate exams because they provide schools with an efficient way to judge whether students have actually grasped hold of the material covered in their courses. They force students to be responsible for the material and they give them and incentive to learn the material. As students we know what to expect because we have had to write exams and tests throughout our entire education, except maybe kindergarten and grade one.

Residents of the new development on Stonehenge and Raymond, behind Redeemer, have accused Landmart homes of selling them their homes under false pretences. Residents say that they paid a premium to Landmart Homes after being assured that the green space at the back of their properties would be preserved; however, since the homes were built, the large woodlot behind the subdivision was completely bulldozed.

It’s no secret: the times are changing at Redeemer, and the excitement is palpable. Visual reminders such as the construction on the new vestibules, sketches of the new soccer complex, and the music room renovations are immediate and compelling. President Justin Cooper’s resignation is on everyone’s minds, and people are wondering what this will mean moving forward. At the Annual General meeting attended by Senate members, the Board of Governors, and contributing members of the Redeemer community, this excitement was put into

By Laura Cicchirillo Dialog (George Brown College) TORONTO (CUP) – It was a bitter cold and wet march for three thousand college and university students in Toronto on Thursday, as they rallied at Queen’s Park to call on the government to drop tuition fees and put an end to poverty in Ontario.  “I think the turnout was phenomenal,” said Shelley Melanson, chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario. “We battled hail three times, and to be honest, the crowd’s spirits stayed up the whole time.

I’m sitting outside on a cold October day, making a crude attempt at being productive while still participating in my family’s fishing trip to a cottage that we make every thanksgiving. It isn’t working. I should be click-clacking away, but the truth is, that last phrase took me ten minutes to write. So, instead of click-clacking on my keyboard, I’m click-slacking on my mouse. Instead of poll-stats, I’m browsing lolcats, losing my creative vibe and getting myself stuck in-between family fun and getting stuff done. <
