NICOLE MURPHY Editor-In-Chief @NicoleMurphySt

While watching a couple viral YouTube videos this past week, I had a revelation about success. One video had a man doing a cover playing the drums to one of my favourite songs, “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters. He was really good at it but there was a catch – he had deformed arms, in fact he did not have much arm at all, or hands. After watching this video I realized that maybe we can- not compare “success.” I mean, in this fast paced moving world we are told to go to school, get a good paying job, have a family, get famous and so on. We are constantly striving for success but most of us will never understand what the achieve- ment of playing the drums with no arms or hands feels like, and we are not meant to.

Don’t compare I think when we start comparing levels of success and try to outdo each other we do not reap the rewards of true success. I watched another video that had a physically disabled young boy running in a fun race. It was clear that it was dif- ficult for him to walk, let alone run. His legs kind of went towards each other instead of in front of him. As all the runners lapped him and finished the race, he kept slowing going. On his last lap, however, when his energy and determination where starting to fade a couple of kids fell in behind him, cheering him on. This couple of kids grew into a large crowd saying his name and giving him support. He finished the race and climbed his “mountain” with the love and support of others. I have a bit of a radical belief now. I believe that everyone can be successful and it is in fact not a dog-eat-dog world.

By ALEX SACKIW As we look back on Remembrance Day, there seems to be a black cloud hanging over the heads of our veterans this year. It is a symbol that the minister of Veteran Affairs has called “insult- ing” and “disrespectful,” I refer to, of course, the white poppy. Started in 1926, the “No More War” movement pushed for a dif- ferent poppy, as its supporters wanted a more pacifistic symbol. In 1933, the first white poppies were created and distributed ... and people lost their minds over them. From being fired from jobs for wearing them, to being pub- licly ostracized for it, supporters of the white poppy were not well received. Even today, the White Poppy Movement has gar- nered more than a little unfriendly attention, from veterans and government officials alike. “So what’s the fuss now?” you may ask. “Surely, it’s been around long enough that the controversy has ended?” Ah, you may think that, but now the white poppy has been picked up, not by those who look to demonstrate for peace and diplomatic agendas, but by those who feel red poppies have become too mainstream. The white poppy has now become a symbol for those who feel they want to Photo by Sarah Stilwell distance themselves from the rest of the herd and want to do it in an ironic fashion.

A symbol of rebellion? On first reading the reasoning behind the white poppy, I felt inclined to agree with the mes- sage that all veterans should be remembered, the fallen and the living, that it is our job to tell our governments that we will not stand for future conflicts that send fathers, mothers, sons and daughters to war, that the whole of humanity will unite and say “no more war.” But that is not the case in this instance. From the multitude of videos and interviews done by wearers of white poppies, it seems it’s just become another symbol of rebellion against the status quo. I recently spoke to Caitlin Fortier, a NAIT Respiratory Therapy student who served in the Canadian Forces. “I understand the intent, I just don’t think they are necessary,” said Fortier. “I can’t help but wonder if some of the students who have been talking to the press are misinformed.” It certainly seems like the true history of the white poppy has been misconstrued, especially after seeing videos of students saying they don’t care if the white poppy insults veterans. It’s a bold claim, especially when it was those veterans who made sure we could have a prime minis- ter and not a chancellor. Now, some would argue that the white poppy is an alternative because it not only honours veterans, but civilians, animals and infrastructure that also suffers in war. It’s an honourable ideal but aren’t those also the ideals represented by the red poppy? “I find that most times it’s the civilians who seem to not be informed about a lot of symbolism used in the military,” Fortier said. “I understand the intent of the white poppy but the red poppy already stands for the costs of war. That is the call for peace.”

It’s up to you In Edmonton, there is a single distributor or white poppies, Earth’s General Store on Whyte Avenue, which carries both the red and white versions. They have an entire section devoted to explaining the true meaning of the white poppy and why they sell it alongside the red poppy. “Remembrance Day is a day to reflect upon the lives lost and the sacrifices,” said For- tier. “How fortunate we are to live in a country that has those who do not have to lose loved ones fighting for freedom.” In the end, the decision is up to you. In these instances, the true power lies in your hands. Whether you agree with the idealistic vision of the white poppy or hold a more trad- itional view with the red poppy, the ultimate decision rests with you. All I can hope is that, come white or red, we do not become so wrapped up in meaning, rhetoric and definition that we lose sight of that which is important – remembering those who have given, are giv- ing and will give their lives to keep peace on this beautiful planet we call our home.

MOVIE REVIEW New Carrie disappoints By KYRA MULLER Carrie is a dramatic horror film and a remake of the original Carrie from 1976 that was based on the novel by Stephen King. It stars Chloë Grace Moretz as the timid Carrie White and Julianne Moore as Carrie’s extremely religious mother. The story takes place in a modern 2013 high school and follows Carrie as she makes her way through days filled with torment by her peers. Carrie finishes gym class one day and heads to the showers to wash off. There she discovers her period for the first time which comes as a surprise to her as she was never taught what it was by her very religious mother. The other girls at school decided to educate her by throw- ing sanitation products at her while she has a breakdown in the shower. Carrie’s coach rescues her and lets her go home early and then to study hall the rest of the week.

Thrown in a closet At home, Carrie’s mother throws her in a small closet and demands that she pray for forgiveness because only sinful women get their periods. Carrie begins to notice that she may have some sort of tele- ufvcascade.ca kinetic ability so, during study hall for the Moretz was also a different sort of remainder of the week, she researches and Carrie than the original Sissy Spacek was. develops her abilities.
