How did Air Transat pilots reach a deal at the last minute, and what does this say about the collective bargaining climate in Canada more generally? I spoke with @globalnews.ca to discuss these issues. globalnews.ca/video/115734...

As stated here recently, a number of books by (or about) McGill grads have been appearing on best-of-year lists. Add to that, Who by Fire (Comme le feu), the most recent movie by Quebec filmmaker Philippe Lesage, BA’98, named one of the year’s best films by The New Yorker

Another McGillian who is factoring into a lot of best-of-the-year lists? Evan Goldberg, BA’05, the co-creator of The Studio, which has been listed by Time, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, the LA Times and Entertainment Weekly as among 2025’s best

Today RGCS faculty member Daniel Weinstock was formally inducted into the Order of Canada! Story from when the selection was first announced: www.mcgill.ca/law/channels...

We don’t know what’s in the tentative agreement between Air Transat and its pilots, but it’s clear that the lack of a threat of government intervention kept management at the table to hammer out an agreement. That’s how bargaining is supposed to work. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Books by McGill grads appear on several best-of-the-year lists. 4 McGillians cracked the Globe and Mail’s Globe 100 list – Eric Andrew-Gee (The Mind Mappers), Ron Graham (editor of The Coutts Diaries), Susan Swan (Big Girls Don’t Cry) and Steven Pinker (When Everyone Knows What Everyone Knows…)
