Harry North Staff Writer Pull up a stool and listen in. This is the official 2022 McGill Residence Cafeteria rankings. No if’s, but’s, or maybe’s—this is it. Along with the ranking, this also serves as a write-up for the places where McGill provides students with the most important commodity of all. And no, it’s not your education—it’s your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Before we commence, I have one instruction: Go to your music app and look up “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees— I’m serious. Get it up now. You know the song. When I give the signal, press play. This is just to add some rhythm to the piece and, after all, I do seriously want to avoid food poisoning and… stay alive. So, are you ready? Here’s your signal: Hit play. Now, sit back, relax, and here we go. PG. 11

McGill Swimming hosted the second Quebec Cup league swim meet of the RSEQ season at Memorial Pool on Oct. 29. Both the Martlets and Redbirds teams finished first in their respective men’s and women’s divisions, allowing McGill to beat out the teams from the University of Ottawa, Université de Laval, Université de (/ The McGill Tribune)and Montréal, Université de Sherbrooke, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. The McGill team secured first place by an impressive margin with a total of 1,058.5 points—293 points ahead of second-place University of Ottawa. After narrowly coming in second place just 76.67 points behind UOttawa at their first meet on Oct. 7, the Redbirds’ win came as a welcome surprise to the team. “[The win] was pretty unexpected, I would say. But I think we’re going to keep that ball rolling going through the season,” said Redbirds captain Eric Pelletier in an interview with The McGill Tribune. PG. 16
Word on the Y: Spooky stories that will keep you up all night
Judge grants injunction to halt New Vic construction in historic win for Mohawk Mothers Archaeological work put on pause for at least four months Jasjot Grewal Staff Writer A Quebec Superior Court judge, Justice Gregory Moore, granted the Kanien’kehà:ka Kahnistensera (Mohawk Mothers) an interlocutory injunction on Oct. 27, after a two-day
court hearing for the Mothers’ ongoing lawsuit against McGill over potential unmarked Indigenous graves on the site of McGill’s New Vic. This injunction will effectively halt all archeological work for approximately four months. An interlocutory injunction is a court order that prevents a party from performing certain actions until the final
decision in a case has been made. In this case, McGill is still allowed to perform maintenance work on the site, but is prohibited from conducting any further excavation. Arkéos, the archeological firm hired by McGill, had begun excavation without the Mothers’ consent on Oct.12. PG. 2
