No doubt about it, it’s fall now – the north winds blow, the leaves fall, the days grow shorter.

Montreal stages brace for drama, comedy, politics and the stomping of hundreds of horses hooves (seriously!). Art, poetry and spoken word round out the busy week with heady, ready made-in-Montreal creative stuff.. … More
