For all of you who are staying in the city, for whatever reason, make sure you check these patios out -- after work, after class, or just for fun.

Bill 14 causes alienation in 'La Belle Province'By April 21, 2013 - 11:36pm As I arrived at the RAMQ (Regie de l’assurance maladie du Quebec) office to apply for my healthcare card at the end of August last year, I was astonished at what I saw. Among the bland gray walls and never-ending hallways of cubicles hung posters reading “Au Quebec, ont parle Francais.” While waiting in line, I watched embarrassingly as a man desperately tried to explain his situation to the receptionist in English even though she only responded to him in French.

Destiny overcomes odds for Quebec MPBy April 12, 2013 - 12:05am By Elisha-Kim Desmangles “All the women who are independent, throw your hands up at me.” Come on, ladies. We all can recognize the famed ballad, “Independent Women” by the all-time favorite, Destiny’s Child. Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle chronicle women’s journeys everywhere for empowerment and individuality, both of which should not be taken lightly. Expecting the unexpected and saying no to ‘impossible’ are examples of the mantras women in all fields have personified, from the entertainment arena with Oprah Winfrey and her difficult road to stardom, to a more local example of Canadian Member of Parliament, Ruth Ellen Brosseau, who shows that facing the odds in politics is a source of power rather than weakness.... |

Healthy Living: The Stress/Unstress Cycle at McGillBy March 31, 2013 - 11:24pm By: Karen Huang Many of my friends know how infatuated I am with Community. This fabulous NBC comedy focuses on a study group of seven misfits in a community college. Despite the setting, Community is the perfect escapist TV series during exam season, because this “study group” rarely ever studies. Not so with McGill students. Only after arriving here did I realize that the word “library” actually signifies “communal study space.” Many students declare their favourite library their second home – because they have so much studying to get done.
