Chuck Pahlaniuk’s 1996 novel Fight Club and the 1999 film adaptation by David Fincher offered pointed critiques of toxic masculinity, back before the term “toxic masculinity” had entered the zeitgeist.
We have a disability-heavy issue of The Uniter this week
So, why put a dildo on the cover of the first Uniter issue of the decade? It’s a good question.
This week’s issue of The Uniter is our special themed issue for the Uniter 30!
In April of 2018, I wrote a historical article for The Uniter examining the prohibition era in Winnipeg. From 1916 to 1921, the sale and consumption of alcohol was prohibited in Manitoba. Similar legislation was passed throughout Canada and the United States in the 1910s and ’20s, motivated by fears and misconceptions about alcoholism.

Every October, as Halloween approaches, Winnipeggers are reminded of the city’s many supposedly haunted buildings.
In 2019, virtually any kind of art can be accessed via smartphone. Whether streaming music from Spotify or films from Netflix, it’s easy to feel like physical media is a thing of the past.
Collaboration is key.
Manitobans are currently sandwiched between provincial and federal elections.
Here at The Uniter, we take our community obligations seriously. Those obligations include telling the stories that aren’t told elsewhere, but it also refers to our role as a learning paper.
The new school year is a time of change for many students. It’s a time of change for The Uniter, as well.
For a weekly paper, when we’re putting together an issue that will be out in the world for a full three months, it’s a big deal! The scope is wide, and we have a lot to tell you.
