The Link is an independent student newspaper at Concordia University. It was founded in 1980 as a merger between The Georgian, representing Sir George Williams University, and The Loyola News, representing Loyola College, when the two schools merged to form Concordia University. The Link was so called because it was meant to link both campuses. In 1985, The Link interviewed Hunter S. Thompson, who was scheduled to speak at Concordia University. Twenty-eight years later its author, Dwayne Perrault, recounts how that story went down in an interview to The Link from his home in Amsterdam.
