When I sat down to write my final column for the McGill Tribune, I didn’t really know the best way to wrap up my time here. I could review criticisms of my work or what I have learned. But neither of these options seemed to be the best way to[Read More…]

Newburgh wins SSMU presidency
Hillel Montreal President and former EUS and SSMU Speaker of Council Zach Newburgh was elected SSMU president on Thursday evening, narrowly edging out his competitors with 28.6 per cent of the vote. Newburgh’s margin of victory was only 1.5 per cent of the vote over AUS Senator Sarah Woolf.
Letters from the Editors
If you spend a lot of time complaining about McGill for its lack of or poorly run programs and student life, you would be a hypocrite to not vote YES for the Tribune’s independence. Okay, hypocrite’s a bit strong. But the point is, I spent a lot of time complaining about just that over my time at McGill.
THIRD MAN IN: An open letter to Manny Pacquiao
Dear Manny, When you retired Oscar De La Hoya in 2008, how long did it take for the media to start downplaying your victory? A day? He was old, drained, and unfit. You had to win. When you ended Ricky Hatton’s career with one of the most devastating left hooks in boxing history, the haters still refused to crawl back into the woodwork.
POP RHETORIC: Tyra’s people
If I could do a case study on some of the alarming hypocrisy that characterizes media today, I would centre it on supermodel-turned-media mogul Tyra Banks.

Montreal’s gutted motion pacifies Israel’s apartheid regime and shirks precedented municipal responsibility

Passed by a 54 to 6 vote, the approved motion diverges significantly from Projet Montréal’s initial proposition. The original[Read More…]
Cycling world championships return to Montreal after 50 years
When Magdeleine Vallières won cycling’s world title in Rwanda last year, she became the first Canadian to wear the sport’s iconic rainbow jersey: the mark of the reigning world champion. This month, she will defend her title in Montreal in the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Road World Championships for the[Read More…]
HIV care informed by social determinants of health
In 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a report listing 2021’s leading causes of death worldwide. Unsurprisingly, at a global scale, ischaemic heart disease remains at the top of the list, with COVID-19 not far behind. However, when data was divided between high- and low-income countries, leading causes of[Read More…]
The five stages of back-to-school grief: How to be cheap while you grieve
Everybody knows the five stages of grief, but McGill students know of a sixth—perhaps a seventh. The sixth is coming back to school in August, a week before your friends at other schools; the seventh is coming back with more money on your oneCard than in your bank account. Even[Read More…]
