Eight candidates are running for mayor (Elections Montreal, 2025). Why vote? Most of us have a complaint or two (or three) about what Montreal has become and what it…

Ceci dit, l’attrait pour les gros acteurs de l’industrie de l’horreur est évident, mais qu’en est-il des amateurs de la terreur? Qu’est-ce qui les pousse à revenir sans cesse vers des histoires parfois déroutantes et des concepts terrifiants ? Pourquoi, en tant que public, sommes-nous si fascinés par l’horreur ? Regarder un film sanglant, avec une musique inquiétante, peut vous…

When we picture hunger, we often imagine far-off countries facing famine and crisis. But the truth is, food insecurity exists silently all around us, even here in Canada, sitting next to us in the cafeteria. Learning about the common myths surrounding food insecurity pushed us to look closer to home and reflect on students in our community’s relationship with food. That curiosity led us to the Vanier Food Club, a space that, while rooted in a love for cooking and sharing meals, also happens to foster connection, inclusion and access…

It has now been three years since the Cheetahs Cheerleading team was quietly dismantled, dismissed as an unnecessary component to Cheetah pride.
