Montreal is not a dry town. You can bring in as much alcohol as you like, providing it is not in an open container in a car and you are over 18. You can't drink in public (at the beach, in a park, walking along the road).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
