On my bike ride home yesterday, I encountered three stereotypes of Montrealers that best exemplify the type of people we don’t want non-Montrealers to know or hear about. The first was a motorbiker with an obnoxiously loud bike and a joint hanging out of his mouth. The second was a guy on a pedal bike [...]
This song and video are 8,000 homohms. “Save your anesthetic for the boy next door,” is one of the best lines I’ve heard in a while. The only bad thing about this song is that at some points there’s this synth or something that makes me think my phone is vibrating.
Fresh off not making the Polaris Prize shortlist, I’ve just discovered Bahamas. But being on the Polaris long list was enough to turn some heads, including mine.

It’s definitely not your standard take on GE food. Anxious to see what people think. To tide you over until then, here’s the announcement [...]
