All good things…

There’s no doubt about it, newspapers are in trouble. In last year’s farewell editorial, my predecessor Jade Colbert was faced with the difficult task of reflecting on the financial and institutional challenges facing The Varsity in the wake of the global recession.

Chomsky’s Version

Professor Noam Chomsky began his career in the field of linguistics, before rising to public prominence for his opposition on moral grounds to the Vietnam War. Since the 1960s he has written extensively on US foreign policy, global affairs, and the role of the media in framing public opinion. Our interview touched on recent events […]

In retrospect

he Start The University of Toronto was a very different place in 1880. Confederation was only 13 years old, and most of its relatively small population came from fairly privileged backgrounds. Nevertheless, an expanding undergraduate population and an increasingly secular attitude in public education began to give rise to an independent student life previously non-existent. […]

Canadian Content: How the federal budget is just one big distraction

It may have been a while since Parliament last sat, but things seemed pretty much back to normal last week as MPs returned to the House after nearly three months of prorogation. Opposition critics questioned the government aggressively and were consequently met with the same glibness and condescension that has become characteristic of the Conservative […]

We would like to acknowledge that The Varsity's office is built on the traditional territory of several First Nations, including the Huron-Wendat, the Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. Journalists have historically harmed Indigenous communities by overlooking their stories, contributing to stereotypes, and telling their stories without their input. Therefore, we make this acknowledgement as a starting point for our responsibility to tell those stories more accurately, critically, and in accordance with the wishes of Indigenous peoples.
