I was in Montréal this week for the launch of La Conversation Canada. It was a thrill for our team to get the French-language edition online. And it's also always a thrill for me to go to Montréal, one of the world's great cities. But it's cold there this time of year. So this weekend, now that I'm back in also-very-cold Toronto, I'm staying indoors to warm up. If you're doing the same, here are some of the most popular articles from around The Conversation global network from the last week.
Have a great weekend and we'll be back in your Inbox on Monday.

It's the fairest way to settle this debate – though in the absence of a clear majority supporting either "remain" or a "no deal" it would probably mean accepting Theresa May's deal.
