Style and taste at the Segal Centre
Review by Hour writer MJ Stone:   Michael MacKenzie has created a thoughtful drama about a once-wealthy family that has fallen on hard times. Geometry in Venice, a 19th century period piece, is subtle and intelligent and begs reflection long after the curtain has been drawn.   The…


Chavez and Castro win the aid game, outside the media spotlight
Tim Schwartz is the author of Travesty in Haiti: A True Account of Christian Missions, Orphanages, Fraud, Food Aid and Drug Trafficking. He's currently in Port-au-Prince reporting on the situation in Haiti and has kindly agreed to let us…


Art and activism: On Movements in Manila
In 2007, Montrealer Stefan Christoff was invited by Philippines social-movement umbrella group Bayan to spend three weeks in Manila. There he not only spoke to members of grassroots organizations about militarized political rule and its international connections (yes, Canada is right in…


What does it mean to "clean up" The Main?
Beloved (and historic) trannie showbar Café Cleopatra will be expropriated to clear the way for a new staid office building along the infamous stretch. According to a report by Alanah Heffez at Spacing Montreal, the Société de Développement Angus acquired two more properties on…


Montreal and the Athabasca oil sands
We featured local Shannon Walsh's documentary about the tar sands, H2Oil, on our cover a few months back. The film critiques the controversial billion-dollar industry that extracts crude from the tarry sands of Alberta through a procedure so toxic it has become both a…


You Say Party! We say, um, here's some YSP! WSD! news
Okay, so, it's Super Bowl Sunday, which means that the majority of people who are reading this are reading this on Monday, when they're going to be both hungover and having the "why did I eat all that crap food last night" talk…


The Deep Dark Woods to play two SK shows to celebrate their lovely 7 inches
It doesn't take a genius to tell you that Saskatoon's The Deep Dark Woods make some of the best music in the country (and, considering that we have, repeatedly, you really ought to understand what we're getting at, here). The way you…


Metric t-shirt for Haiti relief effort is a good idea, bad idea
Okay, well, to be fair, we're not sure that this is news or not, but there's no way that this doesn't merit mention in the capital-C Conversation where it pertains to Canadian indie rock (or whatever). That said, there seems to…


Cradle To Grave come uncomfortably close to living up to their name
It's being reported today that new Cradle To Grave bassist/vocalist Donavan "Demon" Mason is on the mend after coming down with a near-fatal case of H1N1 virus in Vancouver just over a week ago. According to the thrash…


The Luyas have three things to tell you
You gotta love bands like The Luyas. While some bands, their PR guys/gals, their management, and everyone else they have on or within spitting distance of the payroll (or, knowing Montreal, the you-owe-me-a-favour-roll) do their damnedest to clutter up your inbox weekly with all kinds of…
