Farewell Sweet Penny
February 4th, 2013 | by Jason C. McLean
I mourn the loss of the penny. Can you blame me? It's been with me my whole life. I think it's safe to say that we are all familiar with the penny. Things change, and sentimentality isn't enough. But, by losing the penny we are also forever altering or outright losing aspects of our lives. Finding pennies in the couch is the first to go
Sergakis not looking to wage war on homeless
August 9th, 2012 | by Julian H Ward
A Montreal bar owner made quite an impression this week when he announced the creation of a coalition of business owners to combat homelessness in the downtown. In an article on the CBC about the coalition, Peter Sergakis, owner of Station des Sports and Sky Bar among others, was made to appear as though he was “waging war on homeless people” and that he was only out for his own interests
Nobody wants a job
August 2nd, 2012 | by Rana Alrabi
Where am I going with this? No one, in my assertive opinion, wants a job. I am 35 years old, living in North America and in touch with my social media side. I know what's happening, who's doing what and who's fed up with industrialization's stubborn vestiges. We are a generation ready for change. Forgive the cliché. It is true
The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Problem
July 9th, 2012 | by Quiet Mike
The occupy movement was fairly successful at bringing to light the massive influence that corporations have over our governments, the internet and our daily lives. If only they could see what was going on in San Diego, California. Cloaked in secrecy, negotiations are taking place between 600 industry advisers and non-elected trade representatives to engineer an international agreement called the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)

Cafe Foonzo – The Happiest Place on Earth
March 16th, 2012 | by Megan Dougherty
What would you say if I told you that there was a place you could play boardgames, video & arcade games and pinball totally for free. And it has beer. And cheesecake. It would be a little like dying and going to geek heaven, wouldn’t it? It’s real, and it’s in Montreal
Passing Gas
February 27th, 2012 | by Quiet Mike
Something smells in our democracies. We the people control our government, we all own our public land, but the resources found on that land get sold to whomever the government decides to offer contracts to (without our permission). The end result is that multi-national oil conglomerates rake in hundreds of billions of dollars while the average North American family winds up paying an average $4200 a year on gasoline

January 19th, 2012 | by Chris Zacchia

Les Jeudi D'Apollo is a monthly event thrown by Eric Sicotte and l'Agence Apollo and it's a networking event unlike any other in Montreal. The evening features local up and coming Montreal artists and entrepreneurs and gives them the opportunity to present their latest projects to a room full of other young affluent Montrealers.

Black Eyed Friday
November 28th, 2011 | by Quiet Mike
Only in America could there be a holiday weekend where the premise is to eat as much as you can only to be followed by a day where people buy as much as they can… and they call it Thanksgiving. That's right, Thanksgiving Day weekend, a day of mass consumption preceded by a day of mass consumerism. Thanksgiving is America's second favorite holiday after Christmas and it's plain to see why
Small Business Saturdays
November 15th, 2011 | by Megan Dougherty
Listening to the radio this week tuned me into a new "shopping holiday" being promoted this year. Conceived by American Express, Small Business Saturdays will be having its second go around on November 26th across the states. This is a fantastic idea! I'm no huge fan of American Express, one of the down-and-dirtiest credit companies in terms of fees, customer support and terms of service, but I think they're doing the right thing here
Rupert Murdoch: The Tabloid & the Damage Done
July 18th, 2011 | by Quiet Mike
News of the Screws, Screws of the World, you can call Rupert Murdoch's former weekly tabloid newspaper whatever you like. News of the World was the biggest selling English language newspaper in the world up until it printed its final paper last week, amid a high profile phone hacking and corruption scandal. While the world seems shocked at the depths of the allegations, I for one am not surprised. The 168 year old News of the World was bought by Mr. Murdoch and News International in 1969. At the time it was a regular weekly newspaper that covered actual news

Fine Jazzy Creations with a Touch of the Blues
May 28th, 2011 | by Joey McCallum
Jazzy Blues Creations…..no this is not a band. Although artistically, its creations could very well compare to the random fun and deep characteristic feeling of Jazz and the cool smoothness of the Blues. Founded by local Montreal artisan, Stephanie Lavoie Trottier, who has worked with many different mediums such as painting, collage, and recently, candle and soap making. Stephanie's fun business-like, nature loving, hippie personality shines
No Business Like Political Business
May 4th, 2011 | by Megan Dougherty
I'm sorry, I don't have a business post for you today. I have to be honest, after Monday's nail-bitingly tense election I'm lucky I've been able to function the past few days. Nail-bitingly tense of course, for those who voted. What a showing for the NDP! What a blow to the Liberals! And the bloc! I didn't expect to see that in my lifetime. It was only nail-bitingly tense, of course, for
