Arthur Newspaper

All three of Arthur's editors are back in one room again as they discuss the Trent Central Student Association's new strategic plan which includes plans for demonstrations and protests in front of City Hall regarding transit and a notable lack of details concerning their demands for Senior Administration.

Sebastian is in his element discussing the finer points of union organizing efforts, noting the importance of constant and transparent communication and consultation with the membership on demands and responses from the employer, or in this case - Trent Executives.

The discussion then turns to the Trent Board of Governors' response to the Head of the Trent debauch which saw them fall back on old favourites such as "our beer garden was the best" and "it wasn't just Trent students.

Sebastian and Abbigale discuss the six hour Peterborough Council General Committee meeting of October 10th, 2023 and try to makes sense of the theatrics and grandstanding of Peterborough-Kawartha MPP Dave Smith. Along the way, they try to make sense of the Peterborough Police Service's plan to implement a "no-tolerance" approach to open air drug use in the City alongside community partners.

This week Sebastian Johnston-Lindsay returns from his sick bed to join fellow Arthur editors, Abbigale Kernya, and Evan Robins to discuss the debauch of last week's Head of the Trent Homecoming weekend here in Peterborough/Nogojiwanong.

They discuss a recent article Abbigale wrote in which she interviewed Indigenous students about Trent's decision to move forward with hosting homecoming festivities on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation which takes place every year on September 30th.

Along the way, the editors dissect the tweets of one Peterborough Police Chief, Stu Betts, who seems oblivious to the reasons why students would appear so respectful when in the presence of a man with a gun in the middle of their party. He also publicly reminisced about parties in gravel pits and wistfully writes that "kids will be kids" while his Officers signed sudents' backs and took selfies.

Episode 9! Almost in double digits. This episode features City Councilor Alex Bierk and his friend Chad. Before we talked to Alex, we had the chance to recount a couple of Peterborough headlines that caught our eye. Specifically, The Parkway is finally dead (or is it?), Federal Workers are on strike, and Dave Smith has joined Michelle Ferreri on Russia's Foreign Ministry's list of banned Canadians.

Episode 8 is a day late because the Easter long weekend pushed Peterborough City Council by a day. In this episode, we talked about so much and focused on the Province of Ontario's decisions surrounding Peterborough's proposed Official Plan. We also talked about the following:

Episode 7 is here for the people of Peterborough. This week we talked about Dave Smith being rude (sexist?) to Joy Lachica over a misunderstanding about how the Conservative Ontario government backed off a plan to defund the Ontario Arts Council by 15%. Thin skin much? We also discussed some new property developments on George Street North, the future of The Theatre On King, and the ongoing housing crisis.

Art is quite literally under attack in Peterborough as the community was not successful in appealing to City Council to reconsider funding The Theatre on King and the Artisans Centre. We talked about it at length.
