Dear reader,

Senioritis is a horrible disease and I hope you all aren’t suffering like I have! 

Since I’m heading to university in the fall, I am obliged to spend many moments thinking about the last 3 years I spent at Dawson. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times (shoutout Charles Dickens). Does anyone remember when there used to be a Tim Hortons in the cafeteria and the Quesada was actually good? 

In time with the flowers, we are in a period of change with the federal election coming up. Are we officializing our direction towards extreme conservatism or will we continue on the (somewhat) liberal path we’ve been on? In the same week, the referendum concerning the Plant’s independence is happening. I hope you join us in saying YES to support student journalism at the low cost of $1,40$ for full time students and 0,70$ for part time students.To offer you a comparison, I’ve compiled a small list of items more expensive than a 1,40$:

-a cookie from the Cafeteria

-a bottle of root beer

-Uber Eats service fees

– a Longchamp bag

– a Summer Fridays lip balm

– one metro or bus pass

– vape pods and/or pack of cigarettes

– Spotify Premium 

– a pack of pencils

– a Tim Hortons Iced Cappuccino

– a stamp from Canada Post

The future of Canada and student journalism is in your hands this month. Happy voting! 

Love,

Winie
