In fact, interim Liberal leader Bob Rae, who participated in the U of A’s massive dodgeball game back in February, joked about the striking similarity between the sport of dodgeball and Question Period.

]]> Opinion Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:28:54 -07:00 Canada should look south for gender equality in athletics http://thegatewayonline.ca/article/view/dumb_jocks With the recent proposed cutting of field hockey on our campus, you can’t help but wonder if the attitude towards female athletes would change if Canada had a Title IX of its own.
