Know Your Rights: Ontario Snap Election & Accessibility

K

Heads up, Osgoode!  The provincial snap election will be taking place on 27 February 2025. Ontario’s 2022 provincial election had a staggeringly low 44% voter turnout. Will you be the 44% or the 56% this year?  Even though this is technically a general election according to the Ontario Election Act, a “snap” election happens when an election is called earlier than a four-year period. There are...

Exploring Ontario: Hiking Trails for this Spring and Summer

E

I hope spring is coming soon because winter can kindly leave.  Spring is the time to start leaving our homes again and (hopefully) start going on nature walks and exploring what Ontario has to offer. I’ve compiled a list of some routes I’ve hiked over the past few years, or ones that were recommended to me by friends. I’ve included the distance from Osgoode as well, and hopefully the...

Brownie Recipe for Chocolate Fiends

B

This is a great recipe that requires minimal effort and dishes to show people that you can, indeed, bake!  Particularly if you enjoy chocolate, and your sweet tooth craving is through the charts, I find that these brownies are the key to your perfect dessert.  My brothers, who in combination are the pickiest and most annoying food critics, are always willing to break their diets because...

10 Activities Around Toronto

You know that feeling you get after you finish an exam or an assignment in which you had spent all your time and energy? A wave of relief.

Don’t be a hater.” Sanjam replied. Of course, Kailey would disagree. It’s a great pun, so I’m commemorating it, much to...

New to cooking? Don’t know how to cut a potato? Have few ingredients? Don’t want takeout? I’m sharing a quick recipe from the lazy food gods. It’s simple and requires minimal effort. It’s easy to use as a base as well, so it’s easy to add other ingredients to! The prep time is minimal and while it’s cooking, feel free to do something else (…the dishes). During COVID, like many others, I learned a...
