In September, a <a href="http://nturanking.csti.tw/ranking/OverallRanking/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">global ranking of top universities for research</a> put McGill in 57th, far behind both the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia in 37th place.</p><p>Similarly, the <a href="https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/latest/world-ranking" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">World University Rankings for 2025</a> recently saw McGill fall short of U of T and UBC based on metrics in key areas like teaching, research environment, research quality, industry engagement, and international outlook. </p><p>It's not all bad news for McGill, though.

A pair of suspects led police on a wild chase through Los Angeles Sunday night as they carjacked multiple vehicles – including a big rig – on live TV before officers lost sight of them.
