About the Authors

Mateo Grgć

Co-Founder, Writer, Steering Committee, Editor, Layout/Publishing, Finances, Website

Mateo Grgić is a grade 12 student at Laurel Heights Secondary School. Grgić co-founded The Gadfly, a failed satire newspaper. His favourite colour is neon green, followed closely by hot pink—one must wonder if that means anything. He is also exceptionally fond of Monster Energy Ultra Strawberry Dreams. He spends most of his free time reading, writing, cycling, running, and browsing the Arch Linux Wiki. His favourite season is fall.

Hassan Ahmed

Co-Founder, Writer, Steering Committee, Secretary, Graffitist

Hassan Ahmed is a co-founder of The Gadfly, and an aspiring New York Times Bestselling Author. Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, he was deported for being too funny. He moved to the land that provided the most promise and opportunity for a young journalist; suburban Waterloo. With only 3 incidents involving the police, Hassan discovered one day that anyone can start a news publication if they tried hard enough, and here we are.

Lianne Elkadri

Co-Founder, Writer, Steering Committee, Holder of the Secret Knowledge

Lianne Elkadri is a journalist for the Gadfly, while also dedicating a significant amount of her time to thinking about what to do with her free time. She also never knows what to put in "about the author" sections, despite this being the first time she has had to write one. She enjoys music, collecting vinyl records, the colour red, space, turtles, physics, and geometry.

Oskar Deneau

Writer

Oskar Deneau is an investigator of sorts; he spends his time pursuing things he likely can't achieve. Once hailed as leader and king by his subjects, he was recently overthrown, and has landed a job here at The Gadfly. He is said to be a nuisance at many social gatherings and is reportedly banned from most parking lots. In his free time he enjoys art, music, tea, and selling your data online.
