HALIFAX, N.S. — As the semester comes to an end, the Mackerel thanks its loyal writers for their continued devotion to honest reporting of real facts on news that actually matters to people, unlike the stories published by other campus papers — *cough* Dalhousie Gazette, *cough* — that border on satirical. To honour the reporting done by the Mackerel this semester, here are some of the most important breaking news stories the Mackerel has broken in the past three months:
