No time to be fuel hardy

We have been aware of the existence of climate change and its effects for far too long to excuse our ongoing neglect of the issue. The past decade has been the warmest on record. These rising temperatures have caused flooding and droughts of increasing frequency all over the world, which… Read More

Zionism is not racism

Riva Gold • February 12, 2010

The oft-proclaimed, ill-researched phrase “Zionism is racism” is both inaccurate and woefully unhelpful. “Zionism,” to be sure, could be the belief in the right of the Jewish people to self-determination, generally in the land of Israel. It is neither a static nor a monolithic concept, but rather a bundle of… Read More

Fusions have been ubiquitous in popular culture for many years; from Cuban-Asian cuisine to rap-rock to jeggings (yes, the jeans/leggings hybrid) – they’re usually pretty questionable in quality. The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music and Technology (CIRMMT), however, has faith in fusion. This Wednesday, they’re producing a concert that… Read More

Recharging our understanding of electricity

Elena Comay del Junco • February 12, 2010

Consuming energy hasn’t always been a matter of flipping switches, plugging in cables, and turning dials. Before the advent of electricity, any energy not provided by brute human or animal force needed to be generated at the same time and in the same place that it was needed. Electrification enabled… Read More

Unbaked goodness

Justin Scherer • February 11, 2010

It was brought to my attention recently that I never include any baking in my column. An apt observation, to be sure, but I have a reason for my neglect of cakes and pies: I actually don’t have an oven. When looking for an apartment we were given the choice of… Read More

Round 1: arts v. sports

Amelia Schonbek • February 11, 2010

Before December 23, 2009, a section of Vancouver’s Beatty Street was home to a series of murals painted by 16 local artists as part of a charity fundraiser. But on that morning, the Downtown Eastside murals were painted over by City of Vancouver workers in a colour that’s come to… Read More

Play nice, Olympic Games

admin • February 11, 2010

As the Vancouver 2010 Olympics begin this Friday, the public’s eye will be focused on the athletes and the celebrations around the Games. While we will all enjoy the thrill of the world’s best athletes competing, we shouldn’t forget that behind this carefully choreographed coverage is the mass movement of… Read More

Correction appended Though Li’l Hyde Parks have been somewhat redeemed by a memorable statement on Choose Life’s resurrection (“Stay classy, pro-choice crowd,” Commentary, February 4), they might be a wrong turn for The Daily’s current-events journalism. They have been confrontational and heavy on ideology – roughly equivalent to full-size Hyde… Read More
