WHAT TO DO
La relation entre le Québec et le reste du Canada a beaucoup évolué depuis 1968. La situation s’est-elle améliorée? Elle a plutôt évolué. Dans le fameux poème « Speak White », Michelle Lalonde explore la relation de pouvoir entre les anglophones et les francophones. Après avoir vécu quatre années en Ontario et avoir compris l’attitude des Canadien...
Read MoreBefore writing, I researched my subject to see how popular and relevant it is. A lot of people seem to care about the women of Montreal, but to my surprise no one gives a fuck about the guys. Are the Montreal men uninteresting? Are we ill-perceived? No! People generally don’t care as much about the men of a certain city. If they do, it’s generally...
Read MoreIt’s official, our summer is officially fucked. With the Rona ravaging our beautiful city, most of our summer plans are cancelled. This is terrible news but I’m the kind of guy who like to see my drink half full. Let’s talk about the positives! Montreal will be tourist-free for a while.
Read MoreA running gag in the French parts of Canada is the lack of identity in most English Canadians. You know it’s bad when the first thing that comes to mind for Canadian culture is a cop uniform. I'm sure you've also heard that there is no real distinction between Canadian and American culture. I thought so too but after living in Ontario and meeting C...
Read MoreAs self-isolation hurts all our relationships, I thought about the lonely guys out there. Raging for an ounce of affection from a fellow human. You may see this as another hurdle in your quest for love, but I see it differently. Think about it! The second we’ll be able to go out and meet people again, girls (or guys) will use any excuse to go outsi...
Read MoreAs good millennials, eating out is a big part of our life. The amount of money we spend every month on restaurants and bars doesn’t make sense. You may think we’ll be slowing down since most places are closed. Fuck no! We’re doubling down and using that sweet government money to support local businesses.
Read MoreWhenever I travel out of Quebec and say where I’m from. I always get the same line: «Oh Montreal, beautiful women eh! » or a more depraved version but with the same intent. Apparently, we breed beautiful girls in Montreal, dare I even say the best? I won’t answer that question, but I’ll do you one better. I’ll give you a brief description of all th...
Read MoreAs someone who had the chance to travel all around Quebec, I discovered something. There are two types of Quebecers: the ones from Montreal and the others. Some of the differences are subtle, some not so much. I know some of you are expecting an arrogant perspective from the big city kid looking down on the rest of Quebec. Be assured this is not th...
Read MoreSocial distancing is an educated way of saying self-isolation. Implying you’re not an idiot and are self-isolating, you may have noticed your mood getting shittier as time goes on. Poor mental health and isolation are directly linked but isolation might not be the only factor. Let me guess how your last 2 weeks have been. You wake up around noon, g...
Read MoreThe year is 2020, network television is irrelevant and dead. A new media has arisen. More compact, grittier and with soul. YouTube: This platform is definitely my main source of video entertainment. I barely use Netflix or other streaming services. So many great things about YouTube, but for me, it’s the few restrictions creators have when making c...
