U.S. Tariffs Cause Rifts with Trading Partners KARYN KONSTANTONIS News Editor

I

t came as a surprise to many, including America’s closest trading allies, when U.S. President Donald Trump announced his plan to roll out tariffs on steel and aluminum imports at the beginning of the month. These tariffs, 25 per cent on steel and 10 per cent on aluminum, are meant to boost American industries that have faltered on the global trade market.

Many saw the decision as unprecedented, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and leaders in the European

Union both quickly warning President Trump of the potential for retaliation; a cycle which some believe could lead to a trade war.

Prime Minister Trudeau was firm in his stance against President Trump’s announcement, calling the proposed tariffs “absolutely unacceptable.” Canada and the U.S. have always maintained close trading relationship, with Canada supplying over a sixth of the steel and nearly half of the aluminum used by American industries.

Since then, tension has eased somewhat between the neighboring countries.

A week after his initial announcement,President Trump made clear his intentions to temporarily exempt Canada and Mexico from the steel and aluminum tariffs.

However, this appears to be conditional. “We’re going to hold off the tariff on those two countries to see whether we can make the deal on NAFTA,” said President Trump during the signing of the presidential proclama-

tion. NAFTA talks recently finished their seventh round, with no clear end in sight.

Former Canadian Trade Ambassador Gordon Ritchie sees this exemption as way for the U.S. to strongarm Canada and Mexico during upcoming NAFTA negotiations, likening President Trump to a school yard bully.

The next round of NAFTA talks will take place in Washington in early April.

Monday the 19th will begin with Accommodations Day with a personal experience forum in Cleghorn. Tuesday through Thursday will focus on social issues, with Race and Culture Day, Indigenous Awareness Day, and LGBTQ+ Rights and GenderBased Violence Day, holding workshops on discrimination, Indigenous experiences, and food insecurity, among

To end the week, the 12th Annual CASA Culture Show will be held March 24 at 6:30 p.m. in The Gait. The theme of the show, ‘Discover the

Caribbean’, will preview a range of design and talent, including Oski Clothing, 4 the People, and MOROCCOPALM. The hosts of the event, the Caribbean African Association, will be donating all proceeds from ticket sales to islands impacted by Hurricane Irma.

nternational Women’s Day recently passed and we saw women across the globe stand up and protest for their rights. Even though Women’s day is there to celebrate women’s past achievement, there is still lots to do to reach the barrier of equality. In Canada, most assume that gender equality has been achieved; it has not. The pay gap between men and women is still an important issue, with women earning 0.87 cents for every dollar a man earns.

It doesn’t stop there; women are underrepresented in management positions in Canada’s top 500 corporations due to the strong belief that women are not capable of managing anything. Instead we are told day in and day out that we are soft and should only have careers that relate to our caregiving skills, such as elementary school teachers. Except, most women are not good caregivers, some are poor cooks, and others hate

kids. We are not represented under this one idiotic stereotype; we are more than that.

International Women’s Day saw Air Canada flight attendants file a human’s right complaint in response to discrimination and harassment. Women are being poorly treated by their employers, who are not even addressing the complaints that they make. One month prior, the West Jet airline was accused of permitting a culture of harassment towards their female employees. This is 2018, why are women not allowed to do their jobs without having others interfere and make them feel worthless? The fact that women are perceived as objects, even while working, is frankly disgusting.

Though there are women who decided that enough was enough and are speaking out, most women would not have the courage to do so. In smaller businesses, we are often asked when working to wear certain attires and to always look pretty. If an employer demands a

woman to wear a dress for work, she is left in a dilemma. If she refuses, she could be left without a job, if she says yes, she is losing her freedom of choice.

Which, let’s put it this way, is ridiculous.

If I had to run around in a dress for work, I would hate it, yet so many women put up with it to keep a job and be able to support themselves. We let ourselves be told what to do just to be allowed to do the same as our male coworkers, but

Now, normally I am more than happy to let moms adorn their boxing gloves and fight it out amongst themselves. But now it seems that this rigidity in thought that fosters a “my way is the only way” mentality is seeping into the Canadian Children’s Aid. The Children’s Aid Society actively deals with about 200,000 cases per year in Canada. As mentioned on their website, they “help to protect infants, children and youth who are experiencing abuse or are at risk of experiencing abuse, physically, sexually, emotionally or through neglect or abandonment.” So in a nutshell, to protect children from harm. But did you know that according to CAS, refusing to tell your children the Easter Bunny exists apparently qualifies?

Mr. and Mrs. Baars from Hamilton Ontario had the 3 and 5 year-olds they were fostering taken away from them when they refused to tell the kids that everyone’s favourite magical rabbit was real, even though they maintained the other Easter traditions like the chocolate egg hunt. They simply didn’t want to lie to the children if asked directly about who brought the goodies. A year later, the court finally ruled in their favour, citing an infringement on their religious

freedoms.

This isn’t the first time CAS has overstepped its boundaries (although it is perhaps the silliest time). The CAS has been described as having “as much power as God”, with more power than other government agencies and virtually no checks and balances.

One professor of social works claims that up to 20% of the children moved around by this organization will be injured or suffer neglect. So perhaps the CAS should be focusing on reducing that all too high number stated above, in-

they aren’t asked to wear a dress, so why should we?

Gender equality is inscribed in the Charter of Human Right, so why do we put up with so much nonsense? As a society, we have continued too, but with willpower we shall get the equality we all deserve. We must press for progress.

We Lost Our Children to the Easter Bunny BRIAR BENNETT-FLAMMER Contributor

P

arenting is complicated; this has been well established in art, from Tolstoy to the average sitcom. It seems that everyone has an opinion on how you should raise your child, particularly other mothers. The golden ticket of motherhood gives certain parents a complete intolerance to any other way of parenting – and they’re not afraid to tell you why it’s their way or the highway. All parents have to find their own path, twisting their way through all the advice, parenting books, products, and research that is constantly being thrown at them, now more than ever.

The internet is a harsh place, where the social conventions that used to keep the unsolicited opinions of strangers and acquaintances in check no longer apply. And as I’m sure we all know, the wrath of angry “mama bears” is the most terrifying of all.

It seems that every month there is a new “backlash” against moms who are doing too much while pregnant, who aren’t doing enough, who are going back to work too soon, who aren’t going back to work at all, bottle versus breast feeding, self-soothing versus pacifier… the debates never end, and they’re all too often heated.

stead of removing children from perfectly good homes that don’t adhere to their particular personal beliefs. There is no Holy Grail of Parenting, and it is most definitely not in the CAS’s job description to try and find one. And the instability of being carted from place to place must do far more harm to children than being part of a caring family that simply wants to point out fact from fiction.

Canada Will Carry On J. SMITH Contributor

C

anada has been in a bit of an unsure position when it comes to NAFTA and trade generally with the United States. While Canada is exempt for now, the United States has threatened Canada with tariffs on our aluminum and steel exports to the U.S.. There is concern that this is being used as a bargaining chip in NAFTA for Trump to try to get his way at the expense of Canada’s interests.

More recently, Donald Trump has openly admitted to lying to Prime Minister Trudeau in trade discussions. While talking with Trudeau about Canada-U.S. trade, Trump claimed that the United States had a trade deficit with Canada, when in fact he did not actually know if that was the case. It turned out he was incorrect and that there is actually a trade surplus.

It is disconcerting to know that Trump is willing to lie to try to get his way, but who knows how many other world leaders have already used this tactic to try to sway others. While it is laughable that Trump says things without knowing if they are true, it could also have a silver lining for us. Due to this, I remain hopeful.

Like him or not, Trudeau, unlike Trump, seems to know what he’s doing.

To deal with Trump and the NAFTA

talks, Prime Minister Trudeau has assembled a team of experienced negotiators. Canada also has a team in what the media have referred to as a “NAFTA war room,” though those involved don’t like the term. It has a database of the American response to issues as well as plans for outreach and rapid response.

According to CTV, this group has eight regular staff members consisting of “two former trade officials, two senior PMO officials, an ambassador, a writer, a cabinet minister, and it’s run by a young staffer with a reputation for staying cool while smothering political fires.”

With help from the Official Opposition and former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, the Canadian government is trying to make sure that the benefits of NAFTA are not lost.

All of these things suggest that while Trump may not be doing all of his homework before getting into discussions, Canada is. Trudeau has said that he will not let Canada be “bowled over” by the United States in the NAFTA talks and that “we’re standing up for ourselves.”

While nothing is finalized yet and there is still reason to be concerned about what lies ahead, I think the work that is being done by our government is reason enough to hope that Canada will carry on and will not give up so easily.

What Is Entertainment?

KATHARINE MUSSELLAM Opinions Editor

B

y now, I am sure many readers of The Campus have seen the types of online content that I will be referring to in this article. These are people who post videos on YouTube, or on their own website, or even live streams, in which they angrily spout what they consider truth.

These statements often cater to very conservative-minded people, even the alt-right, and can be laden with racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, or other prejudiced statements. They might even have conspiracy theories.

There are many personalities like this, from InfoWars to smaller YouTube channels led by a single person. The documentary Get Me Roger Stone suggest that sites like InfoWars helped the alt-right to grow and for Donald Trump to be elected President based on his notso-accepting views of certain groups of people.

Sometimes it is hard to be sure that the people spouting these ideas actually believe in what they’re saying. Some film and television representations of such people suggest that they don’t. In the film Imperium, a character with a white supremacist online radio show eventually admits to other characters that he doesn’t actually want to participate in

the white supremacist movement, he only wants to build the audience of his show because he is a public entertainer.

On a recent episode of NCIS, a character with a similar online show dedicated to conspiracy theories and defamation, described himself as an entertainer.

It is not hard to believe, considering some of the hateful, unfounded, and outrageous things that such online personalities say, that they might just be catering to a particular audience.

But whether or not people see their shows as entertainment, they still present themselves as facts, as “Info,” or alternatives to the claimed lying mainstream news media. The audiences they draw are people who believe in what they say; Neo-Nazis and the alt-right aren’t pretending to think what they think.

When someone presents themselves as a political commentator or an alternative to mainstream news, therein lies the implication that they will be dealing with facts, even if they are giving their own opinions on it. But they often distort the facts into a fiction, inserting some ad hominem and other fallacies for good measure.

I’m not against news media, it is fun to watch. There’s a reason news programs, on any TV channel, are associated with

the news anchors that host them. Such a desire is also a reason why people like Stephen Colbert and John Oliver have had success.

But whether that personality is cheeky

or warm and friendly, it shouldn’t detract from the facts, and any media that claims to tell nothing but the truth but does not actually do that should not be calling itself news.

Business Students Win Silver at NIBS2018 VICTORIA DE MOREL Contributor

T

he Network of International Business Schools (NIBS) Worldwide Case Competition 2018 has come and gone, taking place February 25 to March 2 in Guatemala, where 16 teams of students from around the world fought tooth and nail to go further into the competition.

Representing our university were four Business students: Ryan Laushway, Yassine Nassiri, Malcolm Sharpe, and Daniel Disipio, coached by Robert Palmer, professor in the area of Strategy and Management. The competition officially started on November 23rd as the qualifying round ended.

The environment of the NIBS competi-

tion is as competitive as it can get. Ryan, fourth year student completing a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and Entrepreneurship, says: “Just to qualify we had to read and write a case on Korean Pop Music in eight hours and be ranked in the top 16 schools in the world to even get to go to Guatemala. We practiced 8 hours a week for 6 weeks but some schools had actually been practicing for over a year before the competition.” But that was just the first step to an intense competition with very strict rules.

When asked to describe a typical day, Ryan tells us: “Pretty much every day we had to be awake and down at the hotel lobby for breakfast by 5:30 a.m. in full suits as once you left on the bus at 6 a.m.

to go to the school you wouldn’t be returning until after 5 p.m.”

After arriving at the host University: Universidad del Istmo (UNIS), located in Guatemala City, each team only had a short amount of time to mentally prepare for the draining day ahead of them, each day consisting of three different phases.

First, each team had a preparation time, three to four hours to review a five to twelve pages case and build an analysis report from there, which Ryan tells us is when “tensions can occur between teammates as you decide what is the best course of action for the company”.

Then came the presentation time, where teams have to present in front of 20 to 200 people in a limited duration of

filled with produce and processed foods from foreign countries, we heavily rely on the transport industry to bring us the food we enjoy every day. With the potential instability of gas and oil prices as supply and demand fluctuates, it could be possible that the transport cost will become both significantly more expensive and unpredictable. This can cause some food producers and transport companies to cease deliveries to less financially viable areas, or for those areas to no longer be able to afford bringing the food. Whatever the situation, relying on food imports can have disastrous consequences, and can lead to food shortages for entire communities.

Another potential security risk is posed when our own food production is considered. To keep production costs down and to maximize profits, common

practice for food growers is to grow hundreds of acres of one particularly popular crop. For an animal farmer, to make a profit, hundreds and thousands of animals are crammed into tiny, unsanitary buildings. Both scenarios can lead to the spread of diseases, creating serious food and health hazards. By limiting the plant diversity of large areas, harmful insects, bacteria and parasites appear and target the abundant plant species and can easily spread throughout an entire crop, this is what caused the Irish Potato Famine in the 1840’s. While we still practice monocrop farming today, these affects are combated with a heavy use of chemical and synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which cause further damage to the eco-system and may have health concerns for humans. Similarly, the close quarters and poor sanitary conditions of factory animal farms are a breeding ground for germs and disease. This often causes sickness among animals, further

20 minutes, and where judges evaluate their analysis and provide feedback.

The final phase is a question and answer session, but after a quick lunch, the process is repeated, and while that was undoubtedly exhausting, Ryan says competitors kept “motivated and hungry by trying to win for the school and country where they came from”.

Ryan, Yassine, Malcolm, and Daniel gradually won each of their cases, all the way up to second place, opposite the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT).

They were able to celebrate with the rest of the teams at the Reception and Gala Banquet to receive their silver medal as other awards were given out. Congratulations to the runner-ups! You have made Bishop’s University very proud.

opportunity for the Bishop’s community, ours being a primarily undergraduate school.

Three of the papers being presented were by Bishop’s students, those being Caroline Dufour, Toshrina Ameikha Ramsagur, and David Marrack. Being a competitive conference to a degree, there were prizes to be awarded; the best two papers will be published in the McGill International review, while the four best papers will receive $200. However, deliberations are still ongoing, so we have yet to hear about the winners.

As well as being an opportunity to present ideas about current issues in political security, the conference provided the students with an opportunity to network with a group of professors in the political science sphere, among them Dr. Marie-Joëlle Zahar, who is the director of the Réseau de Recherche sur les Operations de Paix, as well as being a

professor at the Université de Montreal.

Following the presentations a networking reception event was held, during which the students were able to discuss future employment options, and the possibility of going on to do a graduate degree with the professors. Among the recommendations was the sage advice to find what interests you, as well as the point that a doctorate doesn’t necessarily make you the greatest ever in the eyes of a potential employer; sometimes the best option is to stick with a Master’s degree.

Whatever the outcome, the day was a

Food Security Risks DANIEL LAPERRIERE Contributor

T

oday’s modern food production landscape is misleading. While we experience the greatest access and availability of food from around the world, there are vulnerabilities in the system that reduce food security. The main weaknesses are the reliance on the transportation and energy industries, and the widespread use of monocrops and industrial food production.

Most food now comes from hundreds, sometimes thousands of kilometres away, having been transported by cargo truck, ships and planes. Especially in remote communities, where weather conditions may make it hard to grow and produce food locally, regular food deliveries are a necessary part of life. Even in major cities, where grocery stores are

worsening conditions. Like crops, these animals are given pesticides, medicines and growth hormones to ensure they stay healthy until butchering. These chemical enhancements are known to have harmful effects on the animals and humans.

To minimize these risks, the food system needs to change to smaller scale production, and decentralized food production, to ensure local availability. If more of our food comes from 50 kilometres away instead of 5000, we could avoid relying on international production and transport. If people bought more of their food from local farms who give animals free range and natural food, and grow a diverse range of crops and vegetables, we can avoid the massive factory farms that transport food all around the world. It is possible in Lennoxville, surrounded by farms, but are people really interested?

he first annual Quebec Undergraduate Security Conference (QUSC) has come and gone, having taken place the weekend of February 24 in Montreal.

Organized by our very own Dr. Sarah Myriam Martin-Brulee and Junru Bian, the conference assembled a selection of Political Science students to present papers on a wide variety of topics, from European security and climate change to regional security in Asia and the UN. The three Bishop’s delegates, and several Bishop’s students in the audience, profited from an excellent learning environment while also taking advantage of a networking evening to learn more about possible education opportunities for graduate studies, and employment opportunities for political scientists.

With greater exposure and the chance of being published, the undergraduate students of Bishop’s, as well as McGill, Universitvé de Montreal and Université de Sherbrooke all have a bright future ahead of them, one possibly built on an opportunity normally reserved for graduate students. Any press is good press, and making the world aware of Bishop’s can only further support our academic program, as well as student life in general.

Tom Sawyer: Closing the Season on a High LOCH BAILLIE Contributor

W

hat do prisons, pirates, and parasols have in common? That’s right, the American South. Or rather, one very specific part of the American South.

This March, over 40 students are bringing Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to close yet another successful season for the Drama Department.

The transformation of Centennial Theatre into Hannibal, Missouri was an astounding one, and I found myself captivated by almost every aspect of the show.

While most of the theatre events this year were student-led, Tom Sawyer was the first show during the 2017-2018 season to have huge community and professional involvement, and it showed! The whirlwind of talent on stage and behind the scenes was apparent from the first scene and carried through the two hours of singing, dancing, and storytelling.

From a technical standpoint, I was impressed by the intricacy of the set and use of space. It was exciting to see the stage transform from downtown Hannibal to McDougal’s Cave, and no matter where the characters ended up, the world remained lively and vibrant.

The world was, of course, made even more real when filled with characters. Clad in beautiful costumes courtesy of Candace Herring, the actors looked great in their opening number as they introduced the audience to the story. It was striking to see actors perform their complex choreography in period dress, however what was even more striking was the musical accompaniment.

Mainly written by the director, Bishop’s very own George Rideout, the songs in Tom Sawyer added a unique flavour to the show. The boyish energy of “Captain Kidd” was particularly well done, not to mention Polly’s (Kobelt) beautiful solo performance of “Scar-

borough Fair,” and of course Tulsa Joe’s (Charbonneau) conniving yet humorous number, “Back in Oklahoma.”

The most unexpected musical moment of the show was definitely the “Skipping Rope Song”. Who knew skeletons could dance so well?

When the actors were not singing or dancing, they were storytelling. Standout performances include Natalie Demmon and Mouadh Meria for their roles as Mary and Sidney, Cedric Charbonneau as Tulsa Joe, Patrick Hebert as Schoolmaster Dobbins, and Philip Blair Lewis as Huck Finn.

By the end of the show, I was satisfied with how all of the plot lines came together. Though there were many adventures throughout Tom’s journey, they all embodied similar themes of friendship, family, and doing the right thing. I highly enjoyed this production, and thought it was an excellent way to end this year’s season. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Her overall goal is to develop a deeper understanding of some of the barriers to social and community reintegration after a traumatic brain injury in order to develop treatment strategies. There are long-term negative effects of concussions and brain related trauma.

Each year in the United States alone, between 1.6 and 3.8 million sports related concussions are reported. There is an even greater proportion that goes undiagnosed. Her research only examines the mild end of the spectrum, where 70-90% of all reported traumatic brain injuries are categorized.

Physical, cognitive, social and emotional symptoms are commonly experienced after a concussion.

Symptoms often resolve after 7-10 days, but for approximately 30% of the population, these symptoms become chronic, persisting for months or even years after the initial impact. After a brain injury, individuals are often psychologically un-aroused because the sympathetic nervous system – the thing that gives you gut feelings and emotional feedback – is damaged.

University students with a history of a least one concussion exhibit significantly lower levels of arousal.

This under-arousal can impact one’s personality and behaviour.

To examine this in the lab, Gallant assesses aggression and sensation in University students using self-reporting questionnaires and baseline recordings of arousal and compares it to non-injured peers. Her research shows that individuals with a higher injury severity have lower levels of arousal and higher levels of physical or reactive aggression. Consequently, with lower levels of arousal, individuals have a higher level of sensation seeking. This means that while individuals without brain injuries might engage in risk-taking behaviour (for the thrill, excitement, or curiosity), those with a history of a concussion do it because they are psychologically un-aroused. These individuals also engage in a greater alcohol consumption per outing compared to those with higher levels of arousal.

The lecture also included Gallant’s goal to further understand “Theory of Mind,” defined as the ability to understand others’ thoughts and emotions. Interpersonal relationships after a brain injury are often stressed. The invisible nature of concussions makes it difficult for others to understand behaviours and will create a barrier to social reintegration.

Gallant will continue to focus on ways to boost arousal to influence social skills in some of these postinjury symptoms, exploring the impact of sub-concussions, and further exploring misdiagnosis and mislabelled symptoms to develop a better understanding of their underlying neuro-mechanisms.

Caitlyn Gallant’s lecture was a clear and concise demonstration of the long-term effects of concussions, spreading interesting knowledge to the entire audience in Bandeen Hall that night.

Motif/Motive 20th Annual Fine Arts Graduating Students Exhibition ALEXANDRA TOURIGNY FLEURY Contributor

O

n the occasion of the 20th Bishop’s University Fine Arts Graduating Students Exhibition, graduates present a series of disparate works that reflect their respective journey through their undergraduate program. Individual singularities come into action, mingling to

collectively form a motif/motive in the gallery space. In their own way, the five participants explore the question of motif as creative energy and as a decorative form. The exhibition connects, confronts and puts into dialogue creative perspectives, giving form to a motif at once individual and collective.

We would like to thank the following:

Bishop’s University Student Association; Michele Murray, Dean of Arts and Science; Stine LindenAndersen, Dean of Student Affairs; Miles Turnbull, VicePrincipal, Academic Administration; Jim Benson, Chairperson, Fine Arts Department; and the Caisse Desjardins for its generous financial support. We would also like to thank Marie-Soleil Provençal,

Fine Arts Department technician, for her help with our fundraising activities; and Tim Doherty for his contribution as photographer. Last but not least, we would like to thank Noémie Fortin, whose assistance throughout the entire process was invaluable.

Black Panther: The Movie We’ve All Been Waiting For DIMA OGBIT Contributor

T

he timing of the film’s February 2018 release, during Black History month, could not have been more fitting. “Finally” sighed men and women of colour around the world in response to the release of Marvel’s Black Panther. We are currently living in a Trump’s America where black power desperately needs to be encouraged and celebrated. The Ryan Coogler directed film features a talented cast, including Chadwick Boseman who portrays T’Challa the King of Wakanda.

Wakanda is a fictional African country that is the most rich and technologically advanced in the world. Vibranium, the

power source of the countries thriving technological success, is Wakanda’s best kept secret.

Boseman also doubles as the Black Panther and faces off against Erik Killmonger for the throne of Wakanda. Killmonger is played by none other than Michael B. Jordan, and he opposes Boseman as the narrative’s antagonist.

Black Panther is more than just another Marvel superhero movie. This film shatters the molds of what constitutes a “black” movie. This film is not about slavery, oppression, gang members, or war torn countries. Black Panther shows the audience that people of colour can be kings, queens, inventors, spies and a force to be reckoned

with. This is why critics believe that Black Panther has broken the glass ceiling and paved new paths for what “black” can mean in Hollywood.

Black Panther is a revolutionary film for the black community, being not only the first Marvel movie with a predominantly black cast, but also with costume designers, directors, screenwriters and producers all of whom are largely of African descent. Additionally, the chart topping soundtrack that was co-produced by Kendrick Lamar features many other successful people of colour, such as The Weeknd, SZA, Khalid, Travis Scott and more.

The magic of Black Panther is that it represents the unrep-

resented. The film provides a platform with the purpose of unifying people of colour and empowering them. Black Panther opens up the conversation of what it means to be African and the beauty that is Africa.

This groundbreaking film has achieved exponential box-office success, opening the doors for many more stories about African culture to now be told and have a place in Hollywood.

Hear from Competitor of La Voix CHADIA KIKONDJO Contributor

I

t was a Wednesday morning, and I was sitting in Turner Lobby attempting on finishing an assignment that was due in two hours. I received a Facebook message from my father asking me to call this number, and he wrote “Congratulations”. Extremely confused, I asked my friend if I could borrow their cellphone.

I called the number and there was a woman who began to speak in French, asking if I was alone, which I found odd.

I said, “Yes.” and she began on explaining who she was. She then said I was selected to participate for the blind auditions on “La Voix”. I was utterly speechless. I struggled to formulate any sort of sen-

tence that could express my excitement, confusion, nerves, and fear.

I called my parents and we were thrilled about this amazing opportunity.

I got to the audition round, and remember thinking “Whatever happens, happens. Things happen for a reason and I am just happy I get a chance to sing and showcase that on TV.” Stepping on stage and seeing the four chairs, and thinking “Let’s do this.” The nerves I originally felt just evaporated and all I wanted to do was sing. Near the end of my song, when I heard buttons being pushed one after the other, I was shocked. The option to choose one out of the three judges to work with was extremely humbling. I choose Eric Lapointe as my coach be-

cause I wanted to work with someone outside of the genre of music I was in. I wanted to gain access into his world and understand music through his eyes.

This journey has been a roller-coaster of emotions of highs and lows. The stress was incredibly high. I got sick at the beginning of the process which caused increased anxiety, but with the support of family and friends guiding me through, I now get the chance to work with my coach and mentors behind the scenes, and have already created incredible bonds with my fellow contestants. I have built friendships and am learning from everyone around me. Everyone is incredibly supportive of one another and it is truly empowering.

An inspiring Canadian athlete

MARIELLE CARUTH Contributor

T

he thrills and excitement of the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games has come to a close and many Canadians will now turn their attention elsewhere. Although we can be proud of our countries impressive performance this year, the Olympic games are far from over. After closing ceremonies ended the Paralympic Games began.

Among the 55 talented Canadian athletes competing in the Paralympics, attention is drawn to our flag bearer; 38 year old cross country Nordic skier, Brian McKeever from Canmore Alberta.

The visually impaired Olympian has set new heights for aspiring young Canadians, becoming Canada’s most decorated Paralympian. He has surpassed Lana Spreeman who won 13 medals in 5 Paralympic appearances.

Brian began skiing at three years old, and entered his first competition at 12 years old. At age 19, he was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, causing a loss of central vision, specifically in fine details and colour. With fierce determination he pursued a Paralympic career. His brother

was a Nordic skier and represented Canada in the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano. He is now Brian’s guide and the national Para Nordic head coach. In 2016 Brian and Robin received a Meritorious Service Medal in recognition of their sporting achievements from the Governor General of Canada.

McKeever made history in the 2010 Vancouver Games representing Canada on both the Olympic and Paralympic team. McKeever successfully took home three gold medals, guided by his brother.

In Sochi he took home gold in the 20km, 10km, and 1km sprint with guides Erik Carelton and Nishikawa. A notable win was his 1km sprint where he overcame a fall at the beginning of the race to not only continue on, but finish in first place. In the same year, McKeever was named Best Male Athlete at the Canadian Paralympic Sport Awards.

Before Pyeongchang, Brian McKeever had 10 gold medals, two silver and one bronze from four Olympic efforts. He has now accumulated two more gold medals to add to his success. A success that does not stop at the Paralympics.

McKeever competes in both able-bodied

and Para Nordic World Cup circuits and has competed in every world championship since 2003, where he has won 19 titles. Competing in able-bodied competitions is not easy for someone who is visually impaired, but he can be proud of landing 21st place in the 15km freestyle at the 2007 FIS World Championships in Sapporo, Japan. Here, he became recognized as the first Canadian athlete with a disability to ski in an able-bodied international event. The same year, he was named best athlete at the 2007 IPC Paralympic Sports award.

McKeever always gives credit to his guides who help him finish races under any weather conditions, thanking them for their relentless efforts, speed and perseverance to match his own. McKeever is a shining example of stamina, endurance and perseverance. At 38 years old, he is racing against many fast, young Paralympian’s, yet he continues to be victorious. Obtaining 15 medals throughout one’s Paralympic career is nothing short of extraordinary. Brian McKeever is an exceptional world class athlete, inspiring all of us to overcome challenges and go for the gold.

Still Time to Hit the Slopes

The four closest hills perfect for day-trips

aving trouble believing the snow is still falling? Six more weeks of winter is still possible. For winter sports enthusiasts, there are many opportunities to enjoy the slopes and upcoming ski and snowboard events. With many mountains staying open longer due to the solid base and fresh powder, there is still time to get in another good day on the mountain.

Sherbrooke, Parc du Mont-Bellevue Only 10 minutes from Bishop’s is Parc du Mont-Bellevue which has a beginner’s lift, 10 maintained trails and a snow park. They have special events every week such as 5-10pm Fridays for 7$ for ages 16 and over, free admission for women on Wednesday evenings, and free admission for men on Saturday evenings.

division with the Red Sox claiming one of the two wild card spots.

The AL Central should be a cake walk for the Cleveland Indians, as they had the best record in the American League in 2017 with 102 wins. The Minnesota Twins or Kansas City Royals might challenge for the wild card, but Cleveland should win their third consecutive division title.

The American League West is home to the defending World Series champions Houston Astros, who won their division by a whopping 21 games last season, more than any other division winner in MLB! I’m not so sure the margin will be

that big this season, but the Astros will repeat as division champs.

As we flip the calendar to October and forecast the post season, I predict a rematch of the 2017 National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs. The Cubs will get revenge and earn their spot in the World Series. In the American League, I foresee The Cleveland Indians and the Houston Astros squaring off, with the Astros advancing to the World Series. I look forward to a great season, with Houston knocking off the Cubs in another thrilling World Series.

s the snow starts to melt and the temperature starts to slowly rise, it is a sign that the boys of summer are almost back. Opening day for the 2018 Major League Baseball season is slated for March 29th.

Before we get in the swing of things (pun intended) and preview the 2018 MLB season, lets recall the records set in the 2017 MLB season. Last season set the single season record for total homeruns. In addition, the single season record for total strikeouts was rewritten for the tenth consecutive year. Looking ahead to 2018, the question on the minds of all baseball fans is whether the Houston Astros can defend their World Series title.

The Washington Nationals look to continue their dominance in the National League East division, earn their third consecutive NL East title, and their fifth in the last seven seasons. They are by far and away the best team in their division.

The National League Central looks to be the most competitive division in the NL, as there are three legitimate contenders to win the division. Many will have the Chicago Cubs as a slight favour-

ite to win the division, but I would not discount the up and coming Milwaukee Brewers and the always competitive Saint Louis Cardinals. In the end, I believe the Brewers will be division champs for the first time since the 2011 season. However, the Cubs and Cardinals will definitely be in the running for the wild card and very dangerous should they make the post season.

The National League West was home to three of the five NL teams that made the playoffs last season. Furthermore, the division winners, the Los Angeles Dodgers who had the best record in the history of MLB in 2017 with 104 wins, were one win away from winning the World Series. The NL West will be hotly contested once again this season between the three teams that made the post season in 2017: The Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies. When the dust settles, I predict the Dodgers winning their sixth consecutive NL West title.

As we move our attention to the American League, I see the AL East division being a two horse race, between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees – these two teams are head and shoulders above the rest of their competition in the division. I predict the Yankees win the

“Land Acknowledgement: We acknowledge the Abenaki people and the Wabanaki Confederacy, the traditional stewards and protectors of the territories upon which we are learning. In performing land acknowledgment, we make what was invisible visible, and invite the land, the First Nations people, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission into our conversations. This act of naming – of inviting something into language – is an underlying principle of advocacy and lies at the heart of higher education. The etymology of advocacy is ad (to add) + vocare (call or voice): the origin of the word’s meaning is to give voice to something or to call out in order to initiate dialogue. The “ad” prefix makes explicit the importance of multiple voices – and by extension multiple perspectives. In this sense, advocacy compels us to acknowledge a diversity of thoughts and opinions as a starting point rather than as an ideal outcome. In institutions of higher learning, we have a responsibility to honour spaces for emerging and established voices to engage in productive, respectful, and sometimes even uncomfortable conversations where individuals are safe to speak truth to power, explore and challenge dominant ideologies, and call out injustices and inequalities in order to imagine new ways of existing.”
