Crossed My Mind

                                              Disintegration - Luke Chueh              Paramjeet put on thick itchy woollen socks and too much Old Spice to cover up other smells. His apartment smelt like cat piss and curry even though he didn’t have a cat or eat curry. Paramjeet ...

Facebook is everywhere. Chances are that all of your friends have a Facebook account. There may be one or two that don’t, but you wonder why they don’t when your dad has one. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to watch The Social Network but I didn’t expect the movie to portray Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg as an asshole; the movie showed a selfish Zuckerberg ruthlessly backstabbing his only friend, Eduardo Saverin.

The main issues on the table were crime and community centres; Katz wants for feet on the streets, whereas Wasylycia-Leis wants rehabilitation.     Even with the forum's moderator, CJOB's Richard Cloutier on his side,  Katz acted like a teenager who didn't get his way, continually cutting Wasylycia-Leis off and calling her "mom." Even attempting to make her less credible saying she has never ...
