- [It’s time to question what we buy ](https://brockpress.com/its-time-to-question-what-we-buy/) - We rely on many brands and companies for clothes, food and technology. But for some reason, so many of the companies we consume from face allegations for awful practices in their production that we can’t ignore.
- [Ways to enjoy summer in Niagara without draining your bank account ](https://brockpress.com/ways-to-enjoy-summer-in-niagara-without-draining-your-bank-account/) - As the temperature rises and exams come to an end, students across the Niagara Region have four months of affordable recreational activities waiting for them, as municipal parks, conservation areas and historical landmarks across Niagara are offering accessible, low-to-no-cost activities.
- [The haunting brilliance of DART 4D56’s “Enjoy Your Stay” ](https://brockpress.com/the-haunting-brilliance-of-dart-4d56s-enjoy-your-stay/) - In an era of cinema polluted with remakes and theatrical sequels, there is a rare, electric energy found in a local theatre where students are building a world entirely from scratch. At the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, the student-led company of DART 4D56: Collaborative Play Development didn’t just put on a play; they constructed a living, breathing nightmare. Their original production Enjoy Your Stay is a masterclass in atmospheric horror that leaves the audience “checking out” with lingering chills and a profound respect for the scrappy brilliance of student-led creation.
- [Every athlete holds their own version of success ](https://brockpress.com/every-athlete-holds-their-own-version-of-success/) - There is always one player on every team who is the face of all of the glory, but also of all the pressure.
- [Editorial: Reflecting on The Brock Press’ 61st production year ](https://brockpress.com/editorial-reflecting-on-the-brock-press-61st-production-year/) - As the school year draws to a close, I am left reflecting on our latest year in production — one that solidified the Press’ values as a rare worker co-operative as we saw an influx of brand-new staff members; encouraged more creativity in writing than ever before; and on a personal level, shaped me as a person more than any other professional experience I’ve had.
- [Fleeting by design: how summer rewrites time ](https://brockpress.com/fleeting-by-design-how-summer-rewrites-time/) - While I can appreciate the changing colours of autumn, the cozy warm nights of winter and the rainy rebirth of spring, it feels redundant to debate preferences for seasons when summer is given such an advantage.
- [So, you’re graduating: What’s next? ](https://brockpress.com/so-youre-graduating-whats-next/) - The walk across the stage at the Ian Beddis Gymnasium is a fleeting moment — a few seconds of brisk treading, a firm handshake and the heavy weight of a degree. But for those of us graduating this spring, that walk represents the culmination of years of late nights in the James A. Gibson Library, early morning drives or bus rides to campus and the steady transformation of who we were into who we have become.
- [Brock has a great culture that needs investment  ](https://brockpress.com/brock-has-a-great-culture-that-needs-investment/) - Brock University is a really great school to study at. As a political science student, I say this largely due in part to my amazing department, the professors and the wonderful students that make up the discipline’s body.
- [ Yes, “Project Hail Mary” is political  ](https://brockpress.com/yes-project-hail-mary-is-political/) - This article contains spoilers for the film “Project Hail Mary.”
- [Week 3 MLB power rankings   ](https://brockpress.com/week-3-mlb-power-rankings/) - We’re approaching a month into the 2026 MLB season and to say the beginning stretch has been a rollercoaster is an understatement. Slow starts in baseball are expected no matter the year, but the number of projected good teams that haven’t been able to put it together so far is astounding. As the weeks go by, there is no doubt that we will see many of these teams climb back up the standings and regain their form, but as of now, it’s interesting to see which teams got the jump on some others and began the season on a good note.
- [A 2025-26 Brock sports recap ](https://brockpress.com/a-2025-26-brock-sports-recap/) - Are you really surprised at this point?
- [It’s time to start worrying about the Toronto Blue Jays  ](https://brockpress.com/its-time-to-start-worrying-about-the-toronto-blue-jays/) - This was not how it was supposed to go.
- [The chaos around March Madness  ](https://brockpress.com/the-chaos-around-march-madness/) - March Madness never really belongs to the games alone. Every year, the NCAA tournament becomes something bigger — part basketball, part spectacle, part controversy — and in 2026, that reality felt impossible to ignore.
- [Notwithstanding clause challenged through Québec’s Bill 21 ](https://brockpress.com/notwithstanding-clause-challenged-through-quebecs-bill-21/) - Québec’s Bill 21 on secularism and religious symbols is currently being challenged in the Canadian Supreme Court.

- [The classroom voice: do teachers have an obligation to discuss politics with students? ](https://brockpress.com/the-classroom-voice-do-teachers-have-an-obligation-to-discuss-politics-with-students/) - The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms dictates that freedom of expression is a freedom applied to all Canadians, teachers included. However, parents and school boards alike have long had concerns around what exactly their children are learning, and in a world becoming increasingly publicly politicized, personally I am of the belief that it is the job of teachers to inform students of political and social topics not covered by the curriculum.
- [The naturalization of cosmetic injectables is inseparable from patriarchy ](https://brockpress.com/the-naturalization-of-cosmetic-injectables-is-inseparable-from-patriarchy/) - The ever-increasing popularity of preventative Botox, filler and other anti-aging pursuits is not apolitical. Normalizing cosmetic work only strengthens patriarchal notions of beauty.
- [The ‘90s nostalgia trend perfectly explains modern society’s failures  ](https://brockpress.com/the-90s-nostalgia-trend-perfectly-explains-modern-societys-failures/) - There’s been a trend, which will be labeled as the 90s trend, circulating among institutions across the world. My feed has been showing mostly Canadian universities participating in it. While I think that it’s cute, it also strikes a nerve because it represents a core pilar of why life in 2026 feels so suffocating for young adults.
- [Ford’s defunding of safe consumption sites reveals Ontario’s lack of care for communities  ](https://brockpress.com/fords-defunding-of-safe-consumption-sites-reveals-ontarios-lack-of-care-for-communities/) - Defunding safe consumption sites will only devastate communities and increase harm — but Ford couldn’t care less.
- [The world will never change if we believe our conditions are eternal ](https://brockpress.com/the-world-will-never-change-if-we-believe-our-conditions-are-eternal/) - Reproducing the discourse that our exploitative social conditions are eternal truths only devalues the labour of activism and organizing.
- [Laws of attraction: fetishizing inequality ](https://brockpress.com/laws-of-attraction-fetishizing-inequality/) - In a heteronormative society, the visual landscape of romantic attraction is rarely a natural reflection of biological drive but rather a curated performance of sexual dimorphism designed to uphold the scaffolding of patriarchal power. We are taught to view the “ideal” couple as a study in contrast: a man who is tall, broad and physically imposing, paired with a woman who is petite, hairless and delicate. This aesthetic mandate feeds into deeper systemic conditions that eroticizes gender power gaps, where the male must be a “superior” physical presence while the female must be “inferior.”
- [The St. Catharines derailment: Why private corporations shouldn’t own important infrastructure ](https://brockpress.com/the-st-catharines-derailment-why-private-corporations-shouldnt-own-important-infrastructure/) - The CN freight train derailment in St. Catharines is another reminder of why it’s never a good idea to allow a private corporation to own and maintain important infrastructure.

- [Social media platforms are becoming sports’ new scouting window ](https://brockpress.com/social-media-platforms-are-becoming-sports-new-scouting-window/) - Social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram have changed how athletes are introduced to fans. For decades, fans typically discovered athletes through televised games, newspaper coverages or highlight shows. Today, athletes can reach large audiences directly through short videos, training clips and everyday content posted on social media. This shift has changed how sports visibility works, particularly for younger athletes and those competing in sports that traditionally receive limited media coverage.
- [Athletes balance activism with the business of branding ](https://brockpress.com/athletes-balance-activism-with-the-business-of-branding/) - Professional athletes increasingly find themselves navigating two influential forces that shape their public image: political expression and commercial partnerships. In recent years, athletes across multiple sports have used their platforms to speak about political and social issues while simultaneously maintaining relationships with corporate sponsors. Balancing these two interests has become an important part of modern sports culture, as athletes attempt to remain authentic to their beliefs without jeopardizing their brand partnerships.

- [IOC sets new rules on transgender eligibility ](https://brockpress.com/ioc-sets-new-rules-on-transgender-eligibility/) - The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has introduced one of the most significant and controversial policy shifts in modern sport, announcing that transgender women will be barred from competing in the female category at future Olympic Games. The decision, which is expected to take full effect at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, marks a clear departure from the IOC’s previous approach, where individual sports federations were left to determine their own eligibility rules.
- [NBA expansion talks centre on Vegas and Seattle ](https://brockpress.com/nba-expansion-talks-centre-on-vegas-and-seattle/) - The National Basketball Association (NBA) is closer than it has ever been to expanding in over two decades , with two cities — Las Vegas and Seattle — firmly at the centre of those plans. But despite the headlines, the league has not officially added teams yet. What it has done is take a major step toward making it happen.
- [We came for the show, not the score ](https://brockpress.com/we-came-for-the-show-not-the-score/) - The halftime show is supposed to be a break. A pause. A moment for players to catch their breath and for coaches to make adjustments that might actually decide the outcome of the game. Instead, it has turned into a full-scale concert that just happens to interrupt a sporting event.

The first two weeks of the campaign have delivered some of the most bizarre and interesting storylines that the baseball world has ever seen.

- [My favourite 80s anthems: The ultimate dance party playlist ](https://brockpress.com/my-favourite-80s-anthems-the-ultimate-dance-party-playlist/) - Let’s be honest, they just don’t make club music like the 80s anymore. Modern EDM has its perks, boasting drops that can shatter glass and sub-bass that rattles your teeth. But there was a unique, lightning-in-a-bottle alchemy to the 1980s dance floor. It was an era where the raw, unpolished energy of punk and new wave collided head-on with the cold, futuristic sheen of early synthesizers. It wasn't just about the beat; it was about melody, drama and an unapologetic sense of theatricality.
- [A night of special recognition as Canadian icons took center stage at the JUNOS ](https://brockpress.com/a-night-of-special-recognition-as-canadian-icons-took-center-stage-at-the-junos/) - Each year, the best of Canadian music is celebrated at the JUNO Awards, better known as the JUNOS.

The sound balloons into a cacophony of past bops converging toward a singular destination: the Khia Asylum.

- [How sports documentaries reshape player identity ](https://brockpress.com/how-sports-documentaries-reshape-player-identity/) - Sports documentaries have changed the way audiences interpret athletes, but their influence also runs in the opposite direction.

While it was a blessing to have friends with a Wii or an Xbox 360, it made me jealous that I couldn’t play Mario Kart or Castle Crashers at home. For years, I begged and pleaded with my parents to let me have my own console so I could finally play all my favourite games that I’d played at my friends' houses. In elementary school, playing video games was just about the only thing I wanted to do besides hanging out with my friends and playing sports.
- [The case against the classroom whiteboard ](https://brockpress.com/the-case-against-the-classroom-whiteboard/) - Brock has a whiteboard problem. This year, it seems nearly every whiteboard in every lecture hall is running into the same predictable shortcomings that inevitably befall wall-mounted melamine writing surfaces.
- [Remote work is the way of the future ](https://brockpress.com/remote-work-is-the-way-of-the-future/) - For decades, we accepted the collective delusion that in order to be productive, a person had to wake up to a blaring alarm in the dark, rush through a chaotic morning routine and physically transport themselves to a specific building, only to sit at a desk and stare at the exact same screen they have in their living room.

They also plan to lift the seven-year tuition freeze, which Ford says was needed to fund post-secondary education in Ontario. Ford cites the federal cap on international students as the main reason why he had to pass the policy, but how did Ontario post-secondary institutions become so dependent on international students to begin with?

- [Customers should be at the tipping point of paying worker salaries ](https://brockpress.com/customers-should-be-at-the-tipping-point-of-paying-worker-salaries/) - There is a specific, modern anxiety that occurs at the end of a coffee transaction or a quick service meal. It happens the moment a digital screen is swiveled toward you, displaying three pre-set percentages — often starting at 18 per cent and climbing towards 30 per cent — while a cashier watches in awkward silence. This “iPad flip” has become the symbol of a broken economic contract. What was once a gesture of gratitude for exceptional service has morphed into a mandatory social tax, designed to bridge the gap between a subpar minimum wage and a livable one.

Whether it’s willing their team to the playoffs each year or taking the time out of their day to say hi to someone in the halls, the school has countless role models who make an impact both on and off the court. In recent years, nobody has done all of those things quite like Michael Matas.

- [The Toronto Maple Leafs have reached rock bottom  ](https://brockpress.com/the-toronto-maple-leafs-have-reached-rock-bottom/) - The 2025-26 NHL season started with a lot of promise for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Mitch Marner had just left the team after years of falling short in the playoffs, ending an era in Leafs history that will be looked back upon with some distaste from their fans. Auston Matthews, John Tavares and William Nylander remained on the squad, maintaining the base from previous years. The rest of the roster still featured many of the same faces as years past but had a few notable shakeups.

You look at the newly released section on Apple Music and see the album Rodeo by an unfamiliar artist from Houston, Texas. You press play, and an hour later, you realize that you’ve found your new favourite artist.
- [Side quests: the life changing key to a work-life balance ](https://brockpress.com/side-quests-the-life-changing-key-to-a-work-life-balance/) - We live in a world where our lives have become one big checklist: go to university, get good grades, get a stable job and build a healthy family. This set of expectations fills life with obligations rather than opportunities to grow into who you are and who you can be.
- [Ford’s OSAP changes will keep education reserved for the elite ](https://brockpress.com/fords-osap-changes-will-keep-education-reserved-for-the-elite/) - Ford’s recent changes to OSAP’s funding model will ensure that middle- and lower-class families stay out of university — unless they want to be in decades of debt after they finish their degree.

- [Will there ever be a reason to upgrade? ](https://brockpress.com/will-there-ever-be-a-reason-to-upgrade/) - I’m eternally grateful for the technology that gets me through my day. Whether it’s the alarm blaring from my iPhone only to be snoozed a dozen more times; the AirPods that block out the world; the Apple Watch that tracks my sleep, workouts and who knows what other data; the MacBook carrying me through every late-night lab or the iPad that I’ve effectively turned into a very expensive notebook.
- [You’re all wrong: spring is the best season ](https://brockpress.com/youre-all-wrong-spring-is-the-best-season/) - Picture this: you wake up in a perfectly warm room with a peak of sunshine coming in from the blinds and it’s not a struggle to get out of bed for what feels like the first time in months.

- [Podcasts give athletes the microphone and the narrative ](https://brockpress.com/podcasts-give-athletes-the-microphone-and-the-narrative/) - In recent years, podcasts have become one of the most powerful tools that athletes can use to communicate with fans and shape how their careers are understood. Rather than relying entirely on journalists, television networks or post-game press conferences, many athletes now host their own shows where they control the format, topics and tone of the conversation. This shift has fundamentally changed how sports narratives are created and who gets to shape them.
- [Why gender categories remain one of sport’s toughest debates ](https://brockpress.com/why-gender-categories-remain-one-of-sports-toughest-debates/) - Gender categories remain one of the most debated issues in modern sport. While most athletic competitions are divided into men’s and women’s categories to create competitive balance, growing discussions around biology, gender identity and fairness have made the structure of those divisions increasingly complex. As governing bodies attempt to respond to new scientific research and evolving social attitudes, sport has become one of the most visible arenas where these debates unfold.

The first few hours of the rally remained peaceful, up until a few people vandalized the statue of George Brown in front of the Legislative building, authorizing multiple officers to enter the rally. Most of the people doing this left before law enforcement could reach them, but one individual stayed to write “Fuck Ford” on the statue with red spray paint.

- [The high cost of too little competition ](https://brockpress.com/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.
- [Perfume Tok is ruining perfumes ](https://brockpress.com/perfume-tok-is-ruining-perfumes/) - From my first bottle of Burberry Goddess to a collection larger than I’ll ever realistically finish, I’ve fallen down the perfume rabbit hole. But perfume, unlike other luxury collectibles, isn’t meant to sit on a shelf collecting dust. When chosen intentionally, fragrance is experiential. It defines mood, captures memory and becomes part of how we present ourselves. People may forget what you said, but they won’t forget how you smelled.
- [Despite current politics your voice still matters the most ](https://brockpress.com/despite-current-politics-your-voice-still-matters-the-most/) - Despite it all, your opinion matters the most in this world. We in the Western-liberal-democratic world tend to gravitate towards apathy when faced with the troubles of politics. This isn’t necessarily an unnatural choice when faced with information overload, but for anything to change, your opinions need to be heard and expressed by any means necessary.

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.

- [Activism in the age of corporate sport ](https://brockpress.com/activism-in-the-age-of-corporate-sport/) - Athlete activism and league branding increasingly exist in the same public space though they do not always move in the same direction. As professional sport has become more global and commercially sophisticated, leagues have invested heavily in carefully managed brand identities built around unity, entertainment value and broad market appeal. At the same time, athletes have used their platforms to speak on social justice, labour rights, gender equity and political issues. When those impulses align, the result can strengthen both parties. When they diverge, the tension becomes visible.

I feel that this reassurance is a privilege, and for a long time, I only saw the positives.
- [Was NBA All-Star weekend finally saved?  ](https://brockpress.com/was-nba-all-star-weekend-finally-saved/) - Since the pandemic shut down sports around the world, All-Star games in all four major sports leagues have taken a hit in terms of player participation and overall draw. NBA players have treated the weekend like a joke, turning an event that is supposed to showcase the league's best players into a train wreck. Fast forward to 2026, many considered this past event to be the best in years. However, it didn’t come without its flaws. Let’s look at the good, the bad and the ugly of the 2026 NBA All-Star weekend.

What was once a guaranteed television draw — regularly pulling between eight and 10 million viewers in the early 2010s — gradually lost traction as fan frustration grew over lackluster effort, inflated scores and minimal defence. By 2023 and 2024, the number had fallen to roughly 4.6 to 4.7 million viewers, marking some of the lowest audiences in the event’s history.

How a democratic state can unfold into government officials killing their own citizens can be understood by situating the moments in the United States’ longer history of immigration policing and the legal language that has long divided their people into categories of belonging and removability.
