There’s a happiness gap between young people in Quebec and in the rest of Canada - Joshua Bujold, an upbeat psychology student in his first semester at Montreal’s Dawson College, was taken aback to find out that happiness among young Canadians has plunged.

Interesting single stair report from MN coming out - where they did a whole lot of data analysis and comparative life safety modeling.

“What does it mean that so many eoty lists are being topped by artists who aren’t on Spotify or are self-released” is a question with a pretty easy answer, which is that music critics are still doing an admirable job of exploring what’s out there despite the contraction of the market.
