In a memorable rant Rick Mercer lays out a host of reasons those between the ages of 18 and 25 should get out and vote in the coming May 2 election. For starters there's 3 million such voters which is more than enough to have a massive effect on the results. For seconds the powers that be are happy that the youth aren't voting. That way they don't have to listen or even care about their concerns or as Rick Mercer puts it, "That's why your tuition keeps going up!" The best reason to take 20 minutes out of your day and vote is because you'll scare the crap out of the people that run this country and then just maybe they'll do more than pay you lip service. You know how to whistle don't you?

To everyone’s relief, a missing twenty inch poisonous snake that went missing from a New York city zoo has been found.

The Egyptian Cobra was found hiding in the holding areas of the zoo’s reptile enclosure. Officials managed to lure the snake out with wood shavings.

The snake gained notoriety when an anonymous Twitter account @BronxZoosCobra began posting shortly after the snake went missing.

The snake tweets focused on the fears of local New Yorkers. One tweet went “City may not sleep, but I'm ready to. Ooh a chimney! I bet you bragged to your friends about having a working fireplace in NYC. Hi roomie."

The results are in: Your Concordia has won the Concordia Student Union elections. CEO Oliver Cohen sent out the unofficial results early Friday morning. The results were close, with the Your Concordia executive winning by just under three-hundred-and-fifty votes. 

Your Concordia took nearly a clean sweep of councilors, Board of Governors members and senate representatives. JMSB councilors will be made up of Action candidates and ENCS will be split. There will also be only one Action member on senate.

What was supposed to be a peaceful protest against higher tuition fees turned Ugly on Thursday. Montreal riot police used stun grenades and pepper spray to break up a loud group of students. This came after a scuffle outside a government building.

Five people were also arrested during the march. They face charges for assault, mischief and uttering threats.
