There’s a paper being handed out in one Calgary neighbourhood right now that most people have never heard of, made by two residents with no funding and no interest in changing that. Ryan tracked it down to find out why anyone bothers.
Inside, opinions get settled that nobody asked to have settled. One drink gets ranked against its competitors by taste alone. One food trend gets torn apart by someone who clearly has a grudge. None of it reads like content built for clicks, because none of it is.
There’s exactly one place to get a copy, and the people behind it like it that way. Whether that’s stubborn or smart depends entirely on how you feel about everything else being available everywhere, all the time.
