For those who donʼt know, I work in a video store, which means that I am constantly talking about movies. I love to talk about movies, however, this week I grew a bit tiresome of it, so I have decided to change this column dramatically. Instead of picking 5 movies, I have chosen to pick my top 5 underrated office supplies of the week. Staplers: Everyone always needs a stapler, however there is never one in sight or on site.

Donʼt forget to pick up these supplies at your local papeterie.

The Road to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics

By: Carol-Anne Masse

Olympic Mania Sweeps the Nation

The countdown has begun. In less than 100 days, athletes from around the globe will be competing against one another to win medals in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The Games will take place from February 12 to the 28 in the more-than-ready city of Vancouver. Fifteen disciplines are part of the Winter Games, including bobsleig, figure skating, hockey, alpine skiing, snowboarding and speed skating as well. The competitions will be separated in different venues located in Vancouver, West Vancouver, Whistler and Richmond. Not only will there be sports, but a lot of festivities will be happening too. Seven main sites, strategically placed near the venues, will offer diverse activities to the public. Competitions will be broadcasted on large screens, artists will perform for free and many cultural activities, such as skating, will be offered to families. La Maison du Québec will have the responsibility of charming the tourists and informing them of the beauty of our province.

They will have the opportunity of meeting Quebec artists and tasting our local products. The opening and closing ceremonies will be, without any doubt, the most important celebrations of the Olympics. The two large-scale shows are prepared with meticulous care in order to represent Canada perfectly. They will demonstrate the diversified personality of our country and will celebrate athletes from around the world. Economically, the Olympic games are, most of the time, extremely favourable for the host country. This time, it has already made a difference in Vancouver, British Columbia and Canada as a whole. Between 2003 and 2008, the Games have contributed up to $1 billion to the economy and produced more than 20,000 jobs. “We know that once we start to measure 2009 and 2010, we will see that British Columbia is continuing to get a powerful economic lift from the Games,” said Mary McNeil, Minister of State for the Olympics.

The Olympic Torch Relay consists of a 106day-journey where the Olympics sacred Flame, symbolizing unity and celebration, will travel a total of 45,000 kilometres around Canada. Within this period, 12,000 torchbearers will transport the flame by land, air or water and more than 1,000 communities will be visited. From October 30 to February 12, the flame will go from torch to torch until it reaches the Olympic Cauldron at the Opening Ceremony, initiating the beginning of the Games. Prior to arriving in Victoria, the flame was lit by the sun in the ancient Olympic Stadium in Greece on October 22. There was a huge ceremony involving many athletes before the original flame completed the trip from Olympia to Victoria. The very first individuals to carry the Torch when it got to Canada were Olympic athletes Catriona Le May Doan and Simon Whitfield, who were particularly honoured to start the relay.

Open Happiness Show

The Open Happiness show is a celebration of joy preparing the audience for the arrival of the Torch. Three circus artists and three drummers perform on stage for around 15 minutes—usually twice a day, at two different locations. The circus aspect of the celebration presents to the public three talented young performers— there is an aerial hoop act, a straps act and a hula hoop act. The latter is executed by a nineteen-year-old Montreal artist named Anastassia Fomina. She was hired by the agency Zero Gravity Circus and left Montreal on October 24 for Victoria, to prepare for the relay. “It is really incredible—the adrenaline, the

Olympic Drama On October 30, the route of the Olympic Torch Relay was slightly changed because of Anti-Olympic protesters in Victoria. Around 250 people wearing zombie costumes disrupted the relay to expose their disagreement with the fact that so much money was spent on the Games. The “Zombie March”, as they called it, remained a peaceful demonstration. However, since the protesters were gathered near British Columbiaʼs parliament, the route for the Torchʼs second stop was modified for security purposes. “If we succeeded in disrupting the route of the Torch, it is a victory,” said Melanie Sylvestre, a spokesperson for No 2010 Victoria, a group opposed to the Games. The goal of the group Sylvestre is part of is to organize as many Anti-Olympic outreach projects as possible to denounce the government spending policies surrounding the Olympics.

The Olympic Torch Tours Canada

The protesters believe the cuts made by both the provincial and federal governments in health, employment and the fight against poverty, all done in order to fund the games, are unfair to the inhabitants of British Columbia. The cost of the Games is estimated at $6 billion dollars, and several millions were spent on the Torch Relay itself. Defenders of the rights of the First Nations, ecologists and war opponents were present at the demonstration to show both governments their strong discontent. Also, it is being said that Harper is allegedly employing the Olympics to promote his party. The Liberals blame the government of using the Games, especially the Torch Relay, to garner Canadiansʼ support for the Tories. The Liberals believe their districts are left behind. The Torch will stop in most of the conservative election districts (126), while it will only visit 21 liberal ones. “The Olympic Games are supposed to

“I have been to four Games, Iʼve never been this close to the Olympic flame,” said Le May Doan. The Saskatoon retired speed skater added that holding the flame was a very emotional moment for her. The flame will be in Montreal on December 10—the 42nd day of the relay. A lot of celebrations surround the arrival of the Torch in all the cities, but with Montreal being a metropolis, the gathering promises to be even more impressive. If you cannot attend on the tenth, the Longueil area welcomes the flame on the seventh, while Beaconsfield will be celebrating on the eight. Different shows will be presented—one of which being the Open Happiness show. The Canadian Torch Relay is the largest single-country Olympic Torch Relay ever made. For Vancouver 2010, the torches were designed and manufactured by Bombardier in collaboration with the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC).

stress, the crowd present everytime, the energy we have as a team […] Everytime, [I do it] I want to do it again!” Fomina said. Although she mentioned the cold and rainy weather was sometimes hard to deal with, Fomina is pleased to be part of the official Torch Relay. Not only is she proud of representing Canada, but she also appreciates travelling around the country, witnessing outstanding landscapes and meeting people in the different communities. “Every city has something special, every city is different [...] December 10 will be a burning day!” Fomina said.

be a national celebration. The Olympic Torch is like the Stanley cup,” said Ken Dryden, a liberal deputy and ex-goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens. Both the government and VANOC said the relay was not planned according to the districts, and the conservative party added that it was absolutely not responsible for the route of the torch. in addition, the Harper government was accused of producing a logo for the Canadian Team that looks a lot like the conservative party logo. The government retorted it was simply a coincidence because of the letter C present in each logo. In addition, the language issue was the center of numerous debates; since Quebec made it clear French had to be represented just as much as English during the Olympics. Vancouver has to be a platform for both languages when February comes, and the Torch Relay is presented in French and in English to satisfy everyone.

Dawsonites Talk Olympics “If it was the first time [in Canada], maybe I would be more impressed, but it still is important. If it was in Montreal, it would be more exciting,” -Marie-Angele Lan Meneses, third semester Psychology.

“It will promote Canada, it will be good for the economy, and will motivate our athletes. [...] I was supposed to go, but school will have started again,” -Jonathan Massicotte, third-semester Pure and Applied. “It is nice to know that amongst all the countries, we were chosen. [...] What better place could there be for the Olympics? Canada is a diversified country,” -Gabrielle Ferlatte, third semester Commerce.

“I think I might go [to the celebrations in Montreal]. It would be a cool thing to see, the Olympics only come to Canada so often,” -Christopher Nerny, first-semester Social Science.

Because who the fuck wants to make out when you can have superpowers? If you did want to hook up with girls in your lame ass fantasies, how about you fuck them? Or are you too much of a tool in real life, that your toolness drips into your dreams. You are clearly a lizardʼs pussy!

“My favourite one is the fantasy where I have control over all of my exes. Itʼs really funny too because I make them do some crazy shit like...nevermind.” Sara B. – Fifth Semester – Psychology You know what you are, youʼre a fucking tease.

Dawson Athlete Of The Week

Bianca Farella

This weekʼs award goes to Bianca Farella, a winger on the Dawson Blues A Rugby team. Farella had an extraordinary game last Sunday when the Dawson faced the Champlain-Lennoxville Cougars. Recording an astonshing eight tries, Farella was a major catalyst in the Blues 103-0 victory, scoring almost half of the teams points. Thanks to her offensive outburst, she is now the regionʼs leading scorer.
