2026 BUSU Board of Directors and Senate election results 

BUSU has officially released their 2026 election results for the Board of Directors (BoD) and Senate seats.

I’ve always been the kind of person who loves way too hard and far too quickly.

On March 4, the Brock University New Democrats and the Brock University Young Liberals crossed political lines to organize a bipartisan poster making event followed by a protest in front of Schmon Tower. The protest took a stand against the recent changes that the Ford government made to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).

On Wednesday, Feb. 25, the TMU Bold hosted the Brock Badgers in a men’s basketball semi-final that featured one of the best individual playoff performances in recent OUA history. This game not only featured some great highlights but also some fan affairs in the days leading up to the event.

On August 20, 2016, something rare happened in Canada: the country simply stopped. Streets emptied, bars filled and living rooms glowed blue with the light of televisions tuned to the CBC. From coast to coast, Canadians gathered to watch the final performance of The Tragically Hip, broadcasted live from the K-Rock Centre in their hometown of Kingston, Ontario. As frontman Gord Downie sang through visible pain, delivering lyrics that had shaped generations, it felt less like a concert and more like a collective act of listening.  

Carney’s 10-day Aisa trip: What has the Prime Minister accomplished? 

On Feb. 26, Prime Minister Mark Carney embarked on a 10-day trade visit to India, Australia and Japan. This was the prime minister’s first trade visit since his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he made his internationally recognized speech on the need for middle power unity.

Jayson Tatum’s return could determine the next NBA champion  

When All-NBA talent Jayson Tatum unexpectedly tore his Achilles in game four of the Eastern Conference semi-finals in 2025, the consensus was that the team’s next season would be a wash. After all, the Celtics had to replace 72 points per game and 132 minutes from that roster after losing out on five rotational players. That kind of player movement is almost unheard of in the association.  

The high cost of too little competition 

For many Canadians, inflation doesn’t feel temporary — it’s a permanent part of life. That goes to say that Canada isn’t “expensive” by accident, but by design. With average Canadians expressing grocery bill shocks and expensive airfare, while students must pick between food, rent and textbooks, it has become clear that oligopolies are one of the biggest issues in Canada’s market.  

In Bobcaygeon we listened: remembering the Tragically Hip 

On August 20, 2016, something rare happened in Canada: the country simply stopped. Streets emptied, bars filled and living rooms glowed blue with the light of televisions tuned to the CBC.

Your tuition pays for more than your degree 

Considering your first year at university can cost as much as a decent used car, you might feel like you're paying to be stressed out. You’ll need to account for sprawling class sizes and massive lecture halls, hours of tutorials and seminars, five-dollar lattes and the mandatory purchases of expensive textbooks. Your first few weeks at Brock might leave you feeling drained — not just in your personal life, but your bank account too.
