Some residents in Montreal’s Mercier-Est neighbourhood were caught off guard after Canadian National (CN) Railway sprayed a herbicide near their homes this week, CTV News reports.

Glyphosate is a powerful weedkiller banned in Montreal since 2021, as part of the city’s precautionary approach to protecting human health and the environment. But CN operates under federal jurisdiction, which means it isn’t subject to municipal rules.

Earlier this summer, from May 4th through May 9th, McGill’s Sustainable Growth Initiative (SGI) and Faculty of Law co-organised the 2025 McGill SGI Transformative Business Law Summer Academy (TBLSA).

Business + Law is different from Business Law. With this framing in mind – and recognising the plethora of issues emerging at the intersection of law, business and finance in an age of rapid climate and technological change – McGill’s Business Law Platform and the University's Sustainable Growth Initiative launched a new collaboration and graduate student mentorship project, under the leadership of the CIBC Office of Sustainable Fina

The Department of Psychology is mourning the passing of Professor Morton Mendelson, a longstanding faculty member who joined the department in 1977. Professor Mendelson demonstrated a deep commitment to education and student well-being, and served as McGill's first Deputy Provost of Student Life and Learning. He will be missed by many.

The Caisse de dépot et placement du Québec is taking a 20% stake in the Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk, England.

Business leaders understand that AI has the power to generate tremendous value, but it is IT teams that have a deeper understanding of the underlying processes and what’s going on behind the scenes. “They better understand the potential dangers and pitfalls,” says Maxime Cohen, Professor of Retail and Operational Management and Director of Research at the Bensadoun School of Retail Management. And because AI needs significant human oversight, they need to be involved in its ideation and deployment.

Private market developers face an “investment catch-22” in getting infrastructure projects off the ground, Professor Sebastien Betermier wrote in a recent report for the C.D. Howe Institute. Private investors view new infrastructure markets as complex, unfamiliar, and high risk. But the infrastructure bank model can create value as a cost-efficient policy tool in the government ecosystem, Betermier concluded.

Ozempic and Wegovy are widely used to support weight loss and manage diabetes. But could this class of drugs, known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, also help treat heart failure, liver disease and even addiction?

A new study by researchers at McGill University and the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research at the Jewish General Hospital takes a closer look at their growing list of potential uses beyond diabetes and obesity.

EC³, led by Max Bell’s Leslie Fierro and Queen’s University’s Michelle Searle, offers graduate students a powerful opportunity to develop systems thinking through real-world evaluation challenges.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a powerful new tool in training and education, including in the field of neurosurgery. Yet a new study suggests that AI tutoring provides better results when paired with human instruction.

The use of disclaimer labels on digitally enhanced portraits could have unintended social consequences for their subjects, according to a study by a team of McGill researchers.

Researchers at the Laboratory for Attention and Social Cognition used beauty filters on a common social media application to gradually edit a total of 300 images of 60 women (from 0 to 100 per cent, 25 per cent at a time). They randomly labelled half of the images as “edited” and the other half as “unedited,” regardless of their level of editing.
