Refugee and migrant support groups are calling on the federal government to withdraw its proposed border security and immigration law. The law will make changes for those seeking asylum in Canada.

The latest action to draw attention to the bill featured a film screening and panel discussion from Action Réfugiés Montréal.

Death was had by all at the MTELUS in Montreal this past Wednesday night. Quasi tribute act / quasi metal supergroup Death to All have been bringing the late Chuck Schuldiner’s musical legacy to fans around the world since 2012 - and their performance in Montreal was one for the books.

Old Soul, a rock band together for nearly a decade, released their new album, Undercurrent, two weeks ago. I streamed it soon after it dropped. It was early morning on the bus to work, and I wasn’t expecting the tone change for this album after having listened intensely to their first album, Overgrown, three years ago. The audience was given context for this upcoming project: flowing water, the colour blue, and a siren lounging along a rock face.

This transcription is the abridged version of the interview. The full 35 minute interview is available at the bottom of the article, for those interested in more lengthy discussions and anecdotes.

Founded in 2013, GAMERella has spent over ten years building a community of gamers across Canada and in its hometown of Montreal, Quebec. Celebrating over 10 years with thousands of alumni across the country, the GAMERella Game Jam will be happening November 15th and 16th, alongside the 2025 Montreal Games Week. Every year, GAMERella invites game lovers from beginners to experts to join in on the weekend-long game-making workshop, where they team up with other folks to create a game over two days. GAMERella is a springboard for many people interested in the video game industry from underrepresented communities (women, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, etc.).
