Food Network Canada's new show, Cheese: A Love Story, explores the art of one of Canada's most beloved dairy products: cheese. And there's going to be a whole episode dedicated to Quebec, featuring two Montreal chefs/owners of beloved local restaurants. 

The show is hosted by Afrim Pristine, who Food Network calls "the world's youngest Maître Fromager (Cheese Master)." Throughout the series, Pristine will showcase the cheese profile of cities and countries around the world, as he meets up with "culinary pioneers" of the cheese biz.

On March 12, one year after the health crisis first struck the province, the CAQ posted an anonymous story on its website — a story that praises Premier François Legault, Dr. Horacio Arruda, and all the other officials that had a hand in the province's pandemic response. 

The story reads like a review of Alec Castonguay's book about the pandemic, Le Printemps Plus Long, as the author likens the book to films like Mission Impossible and the James Bond series and describes government and health leaders as heroes.

If there's one good thing to come out of 2020's mostly indoor lifestyle, it's that the world is finally hopping aboard the K-drama train.

With cliffhangers in nearly every episode, swoon-worthy romance scenes, intense plot twists, and a promise of at least one love traingle (or square) per show, Korean dramas make for some of the most addictive viewing on Netflix. And don't even get us started on the scenery.

Vignoble et Cidrerie Coteau Rougemont, a Quebec vineyard, was the victim of theft last week, resulting in thousands of dollars worth of grapes stolen the night before the harvest.

You know when you're out at a club, concert, or even at a grocery store and you see a HELLA fine guy working as the bartender or stock boy? Your automatic instinct is to grab your phone and snap a picture of him to send to your BFF on snapchat or group-chat with the caption "SO FUCKING HOT THO 🍆💦🍆💦". 

(I know you're wondering where I am going with this...) Afterwards, your friends usually answer "OMG WHAT A BAE 😍😍😍! Go talk to him" or "Pretend to pass out in the bread isle😂😂😂". Then you laugh and maybe throw him an awkward smile, but you don't usually peruse anything.

Montreal sure is filled with inspirational people that we see on the news, and one of them happens to be Nalie Agustin, a young woman battling cancer. She was first diagnosed in 2013 with stage 2B Breast Cancer at the age of 24.  She went through 16 rounds of chemotherapy and had a mastectomy on her left breast which was followed by 29 rounds of radiation. She shared this story on her YouTube channel, instagram, and blog and a year later was cancer free!

A Montreal man named Jesse Arcouette has dedicated his Snapchat account (jreday on Snapchat) to a most noble cause, spotting people with fur coats.

No, he's not an activist and he's not trying to track the fur wearers down to throw fake blood on them. He's not trying to raise awareness and he's not trying to shame people for wearing dead animals. He's just doing this for the hell of it.

I've been religiously taking Uber for the last couple of months and noticed a funky recurrence. A lot of Uber drivers try to flirt and even shamelessly hit on their clients. Don't get me wrong though, I love Uber!

I enjoy how clean the cars are, how convenient the app and payment are, how you can stream your own music - it's all really great! However, I feel like, since Uber drivers are normal guys who, in general, have other full time jobs, they tend to not act very professional with their clients.
