Imprint stories archive
The Imprint is Waterloo's one-and-only student newspaper. I wrote somewhat for it, usually either on subjects that interested me, or subjects that bothered me and I felt people should know about. I'll leave it up to you to figure out which is which.
This is a complete list in chronological order. Generally speaking, the articles that are more interesting have comments beside them.
