Highlights from Fall 2011

Henry Gass and Erin Hudson co-host The Daily's holiday episode highlighting the most memorable moments of the 2011-12 year thus far: from a huge flood to the MoA negotiations, riot police on campus, labour issues at McGill and Occupy movements, this semester has been one of the most active (for better or worse) that we have experienced in awhile. We bring this episode to you at the halfway mark of our academic year.
