A recent report finds that victims of domestic violence in Canada are crossing provincial borders to find help, but are often turned away as most shelters are full.
The National Post reports that according to the third annual Shelter Voices survey, 8 out of 10 shelters take in women from neighbouring provinces.
In 2015, 234 shelters had to turn away a total of 305 women and children in a single day due to lack of space.
Over the past 2 years, the federal government has allocated almost 90 million dollars to the building and renovation of domestic violence shelters, but critics worry that the money is not being spent equally across the country.

Airstrikes have killed 27 people in Syria’s city of Aleppo at a hospital affiliated with Doctors Without Borders, prompting the UN to call the situation in the city a catastrophe.
According to BBC News, 30 people have died in other attacks across the country, nearly destroying the truce between Syria’s non-jihadist rebels and government forces.
Both the Syrian and United States governments are deploying troops into Syria in an attempt to intervene with the conflict.
Green Room
Written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier
I wasn't sure what to expect before watching Green Room. I saw the trailer and was intrigued—a thriller combining touring bands playing raucous punk rock, and the evil kingpin being played by the illustrious Sir Patrick Stewart? You had me at thriller, you sealed the deal at Jean-Luc.
The movie starts off with the Ain't Rights, a punk band at the end of a dismal tour. Their luck changes when they get a decent guarantee to play a small club in rural Oregon. After playing a contentious set, the Ain't Rights pack up their gear and ready themselves to leave, when they unintentionally witness a brutal crime. Trapped backstage in the green room, the band goes head to head with crime boss Darcy Banker (Stewart) and his band of henchmen.
This film is filled with severe and sharp brutality. It is extremely graphic, it will make you flinch and grab at parts of your body in ghost-limb sympathy. There are a few instances when the storyline gets a little convoluted, but it moves passed these points fast enough to forget about them. There are some stand-out acting moments, and everything is pulled together nicely with some sweet editing ambience. All in all, it stands up to deliver an action-packed psychological thriller that is laced with music-culture references and a nice, very relatable, shout out to college radio.
Check it out in theatres May 6th!

Ra Ra Riot @ Bar Le Ritz PDB
Presented by Blue Skies Turn Black
"Oh just a melody, yeah that's how to please me" is a line from "Suckers" off Ra Ra Riot's new album Need Your Light, and well, they gave us much more than just a melody performing at Montréal's Bar Le Ritz PDB on Friday, April 15th. Filling the venue with their distinct synth-pop, string-infused sound, Ra Ra Riot had Le Ritz bursting with energy right from the opening song, "Too Too Too Fast", never letting the dance party stop throughout their hour-long set. Even bass player Mathieu Santos showed off his moves with some of the craziest leg manoeuvres I have ever seen.
The band played a good mix of new and old songs, and their set included a toned down acoustic version of "Bad Times", which featured lead singer Wes Miles and his acoustic guitar, eventually picking up in the second half of the song with the rest of the band joining in. Crowd favourites included their current single "Water", "Beta Love", and "Bouncy Castle" (which you could swear came right off an Electric Light Orchestra album). Wes didn't have much to say between songs besides some quick "thank yous", and of course the obligatory "this is our greatest Montréal show yet". With no time to waste at the end of their show, they played right into their encore that included "Dying is Fine" and "Need Your Light".
Ra Ra Riot wrapped up their North American "Need Your Light" tour in Geneva, New York the following night. The band will be on the road again soon, returning to Canada this summer to play Field Trip in Toronto and the Pemberton Music Festival in Pemberton, BC.

Au Revoir Montreal
"Au Revoir Montreal" is a spring mix tape by Chris Noel from Audio Penpals, Fridays at 4PM only on CJLO.
I DJed a bit over the past few years and would play mostly cumbia and reggae so this mix kinda represents the music that I've really liked and songs that I think people responded well to. It starts with a very traditional song and gets more 'accessible' after the first four minutes. It's titled "Au Revoir Montreal" because I'm moving to LA and these songs will always remind me of the time I spent in Montreal.

Aurita Castillo y Su Conjunto, "Chambacu"
Santogold feat. M.I.A. and Gorilla Zoe, "Get It Up" (Radioclit Mix)
