From the Cheap Seats: All about the Alouettes
Many McGill students I’ve talked to don’t respect the CFL. They see it as a game filled with unskilled players—a joke living in the shadow of the NFL. Just go to one game and you’ll see that this couldn’t be farther from the truth. I headed to Molson Stadium on[Read More…]
Five albums you might have missed this summer
Summer has come and gone. The temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are changing, and legions of students have packed up their records and headed back to campuses nationwide. Alas, nothing gold can stay. But hey, it’s not all bad. Though it lacked the star power of previous summers[Read More…]

Perhaps those who watched this year’s Women’s World Cup, held in Canada, might now say otherwise, yet by simply looking at my own experiences, it’s[Read More…]
Considering Canada Day in the context of Bill C-24
Last week, I celebrated my first Canada Day as a new citizen. My family immigrated here a little over five years ago and earlier this year, I took my oath of citizenship. Being Canadian offers opportunities, rights, and privileges that being a citizen of Bangladesh does not. Although I received[Read More…]
From the Cheap Seats: Team Canada at the 2015 Women’s World Cup
