Of course! No one is saying otherwise. A lack of space isn’t helping.
Oh she’s quitting political life soon. I doubt she’s reading anything we send her.
On this International Women's Day, a reminder that intimate-partner violence has tripled in Quebec over the past decade, and the CAQ refuses to allocate the funds needed for adequate shelter space.
This is a systemic failure.

Baffling. Do people not realize it’s so that they can go to work and that a lot of these women end up working essential jobs that are hard to fill like in hospitals and long term care?
A Fool’s Spring is coming to Montreal on Monday and Tuesday with high temperatures of 13 degrees.
Trying to be unbothered but watching politicians responsible for women losing their jobs and who legally challenged (again and again) the right for the most vulnerable asylum seekers (single moms) to access subsidized daycare pretend to be feminists today is sending me into a quiet rage this #IWD.
Oh, I’m livid.
Thank God for Rima.

I agree with you that Quebec overall works well and people are decent. But the nasty politics and rhetoric have become far worse in the past decade and it only seems to be getting worse. This othering is really affecting social cohesion.
I’m generally not a big fan of “it’s just as bad or worse somewhere else” type of rhetoric. I live here. I pay taxes here. This is my home. This is where I vote & help elect the ppl expected to legislate policies that improve —or at least maintain—our social safety net. It’s normal to focus on us.
I think he’s clearly referring to Quebecor media and Quebec’s radio poubelle that does nothing but “other” immigrants and minorities around the clock. No one is attacking Quebec as a whole but Quebec’s cultural and linguistic insecurities make us easy targets unfortunately. We should acknowledge it.
I mean… that could work. Has anybody tried it?
LOLOLOL
The amount of disinformation I’m seeing (much of it being spread deliberately) regarding yesterday’s court ruling on asylum seekers accessing Quebec’s subsidized daycare is mind boggling.
It will be online soon enough!!
Pick up a copy around town and read my column on why Heated Rivalry is so Quebec coded, but also my interview with Arizona O’Neill on her upcoming graphic novel, Opioids & Organs.
THIS WEEKEND: It's your last chance to see the Kent Monkman exhibition at the Musuem of Fine Arts.
Regarding today’s Supreme Court ruling on asylum seekers’ access to Quebec’s subsidized daycare, I’m seeing some portray it as “federal interference” by “ideologically driven” judges. Quebec’s own Superior Court & Court of Appeal ruled against the CAQ gov’t. This was the third strike against them.
More deaths than births and an aging population. The numbers don’t lie.
And this is why any political party in Quebec treating immigration as a threat is sabotaging our collective future and ability to maintain vital services.

“While opinion polls may reflect the social acceptability of something at any given moment, history has repeatedly shown us that popular sentiment on immigration doesn’t reflect whether the action that sentiment supports is justified.”
LOL WUT?
“When people were asked how many refugees were accepted in Canada in 2018 (during the Roxham Rd. surge), the median answer given by study participants was 256,000. The actual number of refugees accepted by Canada that year was … 49,504. The gap between perception and reality can be staggering.”
Indeed. Most people don’t understand how complicated and often utterly soul-crushing the process is. You’re put through the wringer.

“Understanding the public mood might be helpful for politicians, but responsible governments looking for long-term solutions don’t base policy decisions on popular sentiment instead of informed expertise. The former approach points to vote pandering. The latter is leadership.”
🤷♀️🤷♀️
Ha! Not surprised at all. It’s exactly what I would expect from MBC. Only one merits skepticism.
“Survey showing Quebecers want less immigration ‘confirms’ the PQ is on the right track, PSPP says. What about polls showing they don't want a referendum?”
