Thanksgiving approacheth, so we're taking a moment to celebrate certain things we're thankful for:
- Despite all the past years' closures, we've got great live music venues hosting great shows on the reg.
- Charlotte Cardin released a new album.
- It's still possible to grab a quille of beer for less than $10 at most dive bars.
- The food culture here's never been better, and we've got nowhere to go but up.
- More cycling lanes and pedestrians in the past year than we can remember.
- The SAQ has really stepped up its wine game lately.
- The idea of AJ McLean for mayor.
- Our local dep owner Jacques will sometimes let us buy smokes at 11:01 pm.
