Editorial The public has a right to know April 7, 2004 By Don McHoull For years Hydro One was mired in waste and corruption. Well-connected Tories were handed fat contracts to do very little work. In one case, the publicly owned power company paid $105,000 to Queen’s Park insider, and received only an e-mail in return. Only when the newly elected Liberal government changed the law […]
Editorial Cash rules everything… March 24, 2004 By Don McHoull It turns out President Claude Lajeunesse was right after all. Last fall, the other campus newspaper lambasted the president for claiming that tuition is no higher today than it was in the 1960s.

Editorial Rye should back a winner February 18, 2004 By Don McHoull Sometimes I wonder if this university has a fear of winning. What else could explain the administration’s decision to provide such inadequate funding to our Formula SAE team? Formula SAE, for those who haven’t read the article on page three yet, is a contest that pits teams of engineering students against one […]
Editorial Commentary January 21, 2004 By Astrid Poei Ryerson has caused me to master the power squat. And that’s being generous. After approval in late October, Ryerson contracted out its cleaning duties to Miracle Maintenance, sweeping CUPE workers to the gutter. Miracle Maintenance, who was originally responsible for the tidiness of Kerr Hall, now oversees cleaning for the entire campus […]
