X vs. Y: Two of Montreal’s best burrito joints go head to head
Mission Quatre Ilia Blinderman One of my longstanding gripes with Montreal’s claim to the title of ‘City of Culinary Delights’ (and I have many—try experiencing food in Australia, and then talk to me) is the dearth of Mexican food. I don’t necessarily mean authentic Mexican; I’m neither a purist, nor[Read More…]
Fashion Week Montreal
As a fashion-obsessed U0 in my first year in Montreal, it was only natural for me to pounce on the opportunity to score a ticket to Montreal’s annual Fashion Week. Upon browsing the website, I was ecstatic to find that not all of their shows were exclusive, and that some[Read More…]
Valentine’s Day: a celebration over history, in its different iterations

A legendary film dynasty unveils its prince
Charlie Sheen is clutching a bottle of vodka in one hand, and $800 worth of caviar in the other. The two alternate in entering his mouth. These are comfort foods—the taxi driver was unable to supply the “coke” and “grass” that Sheen initially requested. No, this isn’t TMZ’s latest update.[Read More…]
A History of Violence
“Empire does not require love, only loyalty.” With this, the stage is set. Waiting for the Barbarians is decidedly anti-love, presenting instead a steel-cold latticework of power relations and authoritarian abuse. For Empire imprisons all semblance of humanity, then throws away the key. Treading a thin line between provoking masochism[Read More…]
