BCITSA to support “Yes” in transit vote
The move means students can expect to see a stronger “Yes” presence on campus in the coming weeks
Before turning to journalism, Simon dabbled in many things.
He earned an honours degree in political science, and still treats elections as if they’re the playoffs.
He nearly started a brewery, and remains a committed beer geek with a well-stocked cellar of vintage brews.
He was a cycling activist, who co-founded East Van Bike Polo and once pedalled from Amsterdam to Istanbul.
He was (okay, still is) a big ol' nerd who loves pulp film and science fiction.
Now, he writes about these things and others. And he's committed to bringing you one fine magazine all year long.

Enter the Cellar
The Art of Cellaring Beer: Ever had a beer that tasted like cardboard? That’s a stale beer – one that’s been left on the store shelf a few months too long. It’s a golden rule – beer is meant to be drank fresh. Right? Actually, not always. And hidden amongst you is a small secretive…
Massacre in Paris
As a writer, it’s difficult to sit here and form these words. By now, you’ve likely heard of today’s tragic events in Paris. 12 people, 10 of them journalists with the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo and two police officers were gunned down, apparently over controversial cartoons the magazine had published. I’ve had a number…
SantArchy
If you picked up December’s issue of Link, you probably read Mitchell Flann’s story about SantArchy – the annual “parade” of unruly Santas that take the streets of Vancouver by storm every year on Dec. 13th.

Urinetown: The Musical

Urinetown is set in a not-too distant future where ecological disaster has led to unimaginable droughts. The politicians and corporations…
Product Positioning – Ian Twa on the move from boarding to branding
Calgary isn’t exactly world-renowned as a skate city. Serious winters mean seriously short seasons.
