I lived almost entirely on People's Potato for about 4 months, when my student loan was delayed and I had no money for food. The food is not only vegan, it's also halal and kosher!

They do ask for donations, but don't require it. There's just a little box you can drop change into. I try to keep a little tab in my mind... they suggest $2 per meal, so if I get a free lunch one day I put in $4 the next. But it's not enforced, that's just my own personal thing. :p

They are so compassionate there, that if you bring your own tupperware at the end of the week or something, they'll fill it up so you have food for the weekend. They're also always looking for volunteers!

And last but DEFINITELY not least, THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC!!!

You should definitely check out Aux Vivres, a vegan restaurant on Saint Laurent. It's delicious!
OK, I will. Right now I am staying on Queen Mary's street. I need to figure out the metro system and stuff still. Are there any fun get togethers? I see they are having that big green fair tomorrow, so I'm going to check that out:

Haha yeah, the metro still confuses me sometimes. The fair looks cool, I might stop by if I have time.

I couldn't believe that either, but still grateful for Canada's health care. I waited in emergency at McGill for about 10 hours, and finally saw the doctor at 4am..

I think the average emergency room wait time in Quebec is like 14-15 hours. That's definitely higher than the national average. People in Gatineau often come across to Ottawa when they need to go to the ER!
