In Case You've Overlooked: Recap of Recent Events

In the cultural landscape of Montreal, a new book by American author Carol J. Adams has recently made its debut. Entitled "The Sexual Politics of Meat", the book has sparked discussions about the interconnected oppression of women and animals in patriarchal culture and meat consumption. Adams argues that being vegetarian is a feminist gesture, a thesis she has developed in her work.

Meanwhile, Quebec author and lawyer Suzanne Zaccour has echoed similar sentiments in her essay "Why Trump doesn't eat tofu". The essay, while not directly addressing the American President, highlights the shared schemes of oppression that feminism and vegetarianism aim to combat.

In a different sphere, Montreal's housing market has been under scrutiny. A recent ranking suggests that acquiring a property in Montreal almost costs as much as in New York, in proportion to income. This disconnect between income growth and housing prices has been a point of concern, reflecting a broader issue of housing affordability.

On a more personal note, the Hollywood icon Robert Redford, known for films like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "All the President's Men", passed away at the age of 89. Redford, who founded the Sundance Film Festival, played a significant role in nurturing several generations of young filmmakers. He was awarded Oscars for his first feature film "Ordinary People", which won the awards for best film and best director.

In the realm of justice, a Montreal man was acquitted of theft during sexual relations by Judge Ann-Mary Beauchemin. The case has raised questions and discussions about the interpretation of consent and the application of justice.

Lastly, for those with a passion for culture, a new interactive website invites users to test their knowledge about various cultural works and compare their results with other internet users. This platform offers an engaging way to explore and appreciate the rich cultural offerings of our world.

In the novel "On all fours" by Miranda July, readers embark on the tumultuous inner adventure of a 45-year-old woman. This work, like many others, adds to the vibrant tapestry of stories that enrich our collective consciousness.
