De carré rouge à arc-en-ciel: Pourquoi les étudiants doivent voter pour la CAQ
Quand j’ai vu mes compatriotes dans les rues de Montréal le printemps passé, il n’y avait jamais un doute que ces jeunes révolutionnaires jouaient un rôle pertinent. En pleine conscience, mes anciens collègues se battaient pour un avenir libre d’intimidation, d’incertitude et d’identité imposée par l’état. Quant à moi, si le boycott étudiant avait été […]
Charest et les Jeux électoraux du Québec
A Last Day in the Imperial City
Far removed from the sandy beaches and tropical wonders of Florida, I have explored and enjoyed the wonders of Vienna and the outlaying region for the past 12 days. While markedly shorter than my six month educational séjour in 2011, this trip was meant for a renewal of sorts—an opportunity to both reset my intellectual curiosity and embrace […]

L’État Contre les Jeunes
Les baby-boomers ont perpétré un véritable hold-up générationnel : ils ont sans cesse augmenté la taille de l’État québécois pour profiter de ses largesses en confisquant aux plus jeunes leur part de la richesse collective. Or, à l’heure où toutes nos institutions vacillent, ils atteignent l’âge de la retraite et menacent de porter le coup […]
The Younger Generation’s Expectations of Politics
After reading Alan Holmes’ piece on reaction to the State of the Union address, I found it fitting to respond to offer a clear contrast. Any objective party would agree that the President’s soft words and patriotic rhetoric were a welcomed change to the Republican narrative that has dominated the political landscape in the last few […]
