CFS vs SFSS debate
The video from the CFS debate at Simon Fraser is online: http://www.lidc.sfu.ca/archive/sfss/cfs/ Also, this gives you an idea of just how strong the movement for independence is at SFSS.

Maclean’s Magazine – great for ignoring people on the train
Apparently, the magazine is an useful item to have on the GO train, especially when a bunch of Seneca students decide to invade the train. I’ve love to see the Marketing Department create a campaign around this story.…
