      Letter from the Editor: Our Favourite Stories from 2025

      One story for every month of 2025: A year of covering Montreal's culture, history, and the people shaping its future.

      If I had to wrap up this past year in one word?

      Wow.

      I still cannot believe what we’ve been able to achieve with our small and dedicated team in 2025 , and I wanted to remember all the work we’ve done by looking back on all of our storytelling—one story for every month (it was hard to pick just one story, so I’ve included some runner-ups as well). I also left some notes as to why stories were chosen.

      One important note: You may notice that things REALLY start to pick up towards the end of the year. That’s not by accident.

      We found ourselves with a renewed resolve for 2026 months ahead, and kicked things into a gear that’ll carry forth. There are so many more stories to tell.

      Who Killed the Late-Night Dinner?
      Opinion
      J.P. Karwacki

      Who Killed the Late-Night Dinner?

      Montreal used to be Canada's late-night dining capital. Now more kitchens are closing at 9 p.m., and everyone has a good reason why.

      Will the next generation of creatives be able to afford kids?
      Opinion
      Leigh Kinch-Pedrosa

      Will the Next Generation of Creatives Be Able to Afford Kids?

      Cheap daycare, 1,500 parks, and creative communities made raising interesting kids on a patchwork income possible. Will the next generation of creatives get the same chance?

      The digital camera comeback isn't about authenticity. It's just a flattering filter.
      Opinion

      The Digital Camera Comeback Isn't About Authenticity. It's Just a Flattering Filter.

      Gen Z found a socially acceptable way to blur their pores while somehow convincing everyone it's counter-cultural.

      Wellness Culture Has an Optimization Problem

      Wellness promised an escape from productivity culture. Then it became another thing to optimize.

      Montreal's Got a Nightlife Policy, so Why Are Venues Still at Risk?

      A year into the city's first-ever nightlife framework, the future of Montreal's independent venues still hangs in the balance.
