AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. POPLAR : ZACHARY DIONISOPOULOS Continued om page 1 Mr. Poplar also talked about some major differences between LCC and Appleby College. The boarding aspect seems When asked why he chose a position at LCC, he to be the most prominent difference between the two. “Appleby explained that this posting seemed really attractive to him and tends to pull kids from all over the worlds, since they have the his wife and because it offered them the opportunity to move to ability to live at the school.” He described how “A lot more went Montreal. on during weekends at Appleby”.

When asked about Quebec politics, he couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s never boring and always a conversation” he admitted. Mr. Poplar made it clear that he is captivated by politics. It’s interesting for him to see everything going on with a Quebecois perspective, rather than the Ontario perspective he’s most familiar with. He didn’t offer up an opinion on our controversial Premier, Pauline Marois, only saying, “I guess we’ll see how it goes.” Photo Credit: Suleman Malik

It only seems with all my school peers is an amazing experience and being appropriate that for this month’s athlete, we would choose coached by the best coach in my life is just an addition to the somebody from this team. great experience.”

Some might argue that the most important player on a Congratulations, Mark, and keep up the great work! hockey team’s roster is a good goalie. This month’s athlete is Mark Michaels, the starting goaltender, and one of the captains of the Senior Boys Hockey Team.

According to Mark, his best game this season was against Kuper Academy, with LCC beating them by 2-1. Why, you may ask, did he choose a game where he let in a goal, and not a shutout? Mark explains that the thing that made this game so special was the fact that Kuper Academy usually averages ten goals per game. In this particular one, with Mark as goalie, Kuper Academy only managed to score one goal.

Since Mark is in grade 11, this will probably be his last year Do you know somebody that could be the next with the Senior Boys Team. However, he hopes to go to prep athlete of the month?

FROM LAST PLACE TO FIRST - A LOOK AT THE MONTREAL CANADIANS : JUSTIN ZIPKIN Continued om P. 1 Our rookie sensations are not the only the only thing To recap the first third of the condensed 2013 season, helping this team to victory.

After two years off the grid, Markov is back and better than ever. He has helped the team realize their potential this year as a leader on the ice.

Our great rivals the Boston Bruins are the only crashers at the Habs’ 1st place party. With 2 games in hand and only down by 2 points, they have a chance to go ahead and steal our title of 1st in the Eastern conference. Without a doubt, every game against them is intense and amazing to watch; now with this race adding more intensity, the Habs-Bruins games will be some of the greatest to tune in to this season.

Hopefully the Habs continue this great season and go on to a successful playoff run. GO HABS GO! http://www.cbc.ca

THE REIGN OF MAROIS: WHAT HAS SHE ACTUALLY DONE? : ALEX WULKAN

Antipasti, meatballs and even pasta are items at Montreal’s Buonanotte that will be allowed no longer to be printed on menus. Indeed, it seems ridiculous that people have the right to control something as simple as a restaurant menu. The people in question are Montreal’s proverbial language police.

Little has changed under the Marois government, but budget allocation has become a very interesting topic, slashing the McGill budget by half and increasing the language police’s budget by 6% totalling at 24.8 million dollars.

Finally, who can forget the students? Many say that they are the reason that Marois won in the first place. Many 18-year- cornwallfreenews.com old university students blindly jumped at the idea of free education without considering the repercussions. The red square has disappeared from Marois’ lapel and many believe that the issue has also disappeared from her head. Still, no changes have been made and students are beginning to become anxious, wanting what they were promised.

So, is the province that different than where it left off six months ago? No, because Marois is incapable of making the tough decisions when it counts. Hopefully, these events (or lack there of) will resonate with Quebecers, putting an end to this woman’s, and her party’s, time in power.

Melissa McCarthy, who played a memorable role in the movie Bridesmaids, portrays Diana, the thief. She is absolutely hilarious and brings so much fun and adventure to the film.
