Maleck Kadiri is Franco-Algerian. The thirty-six-year-old earned a master’s in microbiology and immunology from Université Laval, a PhD in immunology from Université de Sherbrooke, then completed two years of post-doctoral training in immuno-oncology at Université de Montréal. He’s been in Quebec for eleven years, training to do a highly specialized job: researching why some cancers don’t respond to immunotherapy treatments. But on March 3, he stopped working. That’s when his three-year post-graduation work permit expired. His application to renew it was refused, because he couldn’t...

I’m hanging at the back of the venue, not sure who to talk to. My hair is thick with wax, and my hands are stuffed in the pockets of my vintage Ralph Lauren bomber jacket, which I bought in my last year of high school. The band is good—four dudes playing loose, sardonic indie rock; the front man has a presence both enticing and repelling. It’s the kind of room I’ve been in a million times over my ten years in Montreal, and I, once again, feel a mixture of belonging and artifice, like I’m playing a part.
Only here, that feeling is not entirely a product of my psyche. We are, in fact, on...

A History of Violence
On the same day that my letter carrier delivered the March/April issue of The Walrus with its blazing cover, “The Untold Story of the Deadliest Mass Shooting in Canadian History” by Lisa Banfield, a young woman in Tumbler Ridge in northeastern British Columbia shot her mother and half-brother, went to the nearby high school, and shot an educational assistant and five students before turning the gun on herself. Over 100 Americans are killed by bullets every day. The United States’ fascination with firearms and its normalization of gun violence, which shows little...

An increasingly toxic drug supply is having a knock-on effect on Canada’s already overloaded emergency rooms, forcing doctors to balance reversing overdoses while avoiding users going into such severe withdrawal they endanger others. Illicit street drugs have become so contaminated with other chemicals — including animal tranquilizers — it can take 10 times the usual dose of naloxone, the potentially lifesaving overdose antidote, to restore a person’s breathing sufficiently enough to keep them from dying. “It speaks to the increased toxicity of what’s circulating on the street right...
