    Proposed changes to Canadian Official Languages Act leaves Quebec's English speaking population out in the cold

    The Federal Liberals are literally throwing us under the bus. Many of us in Montreal speak no French. We were schooled entirely in English. I hope fellow English speaking Quebeckers voice their displeasure come Election Day. This policy change crosses the line. What about the right to be...

    Legault pushing to allow larger crowds at Bell Center

    The government should definitely increase capacity at the Bell Center to at least 18,000 fans in order to allow for an even playing field. Otherwise, the Golden Knights have the clear advantage due to the significantly higher number of fans cheering them on. Quebec Government pushing to have...

    The Gazette posts French only ads related to health and safety

    This one takes the cake. I was previously informed by the Gazette that my comments were no longer welcome as they don’t allow comments from those of us who have views that are right of center. Now they’ve gone completely over the top. They’re starting to post safety/health related messages...

    Dawson College in Montreal goes ahead with in-person exams, warns students that they will flunk if they don’t show up

    I agree that the College can and should ask students to show up in person to write their exams. That they can do and they can also flunk anyone who doesn’t show up. What they can’t do is flunk anyone who doesn’t wear a mask. Anyone can refuse you entry into a building if you refuse to wear a...

    Time to Resurrect the Equality Party in Quebec

For those of us who don’t speak French (myself included), this would place us in a precarious and unjust situation...

    New French Language Bill in Quebec violates fundamental rights

    It appears that individual rights will no longer apply in Quebec. They are being replaced with collective rights instead. I guess from this point on, the province will be known as “The People’s Republic of Quebec”. Democracy is no more. This is precisely the reason why I never bothered to...

    Pelosi's archbishop calls for denying Communion to prominent Catholics supporting abortion rights

    Why does Miss Pelosi not give up her faith if she does not respect the teachings of the Catholic Church? What purpose does it serve her by pretending to be a Catholic, especially given that she is prohibited from receiving communion. Does she really want to be an outcast? Is she for real? I...

    New Quebec language bill will include notwithstanding clause

    This is presicely the reason why I never bothered to learn any French despite being born and raised in Montreal. Having my civil rights violated due to the French language just makes learning the language a huge turn-off for me. I have zero motivation to ever learn the language. Furthermore...

    IGA Turns Away Customer Who Cannot Wear Mask for Medical Reasons

    This is completely unacceptable. Last week an IGA customer was denied access to an IGA supermarket in Quebec simply because she had a medical condition that prevented her from wearing a mask. The government decree that mandated masks in all indoor public spaces in Quebec made exceptions for...

    Quebec Government Forcibly Takes Riverdale High Away From English Speaking Students

    So the government has decided to forcibly take a school away from the English speaking students and "GIVE" it to the French speaking students. So the students who are now enrolled at Riverdale High will be left without a school. I guess the French speaking students have a higher priority as they...

    Quebec Values Charter vs Bill 101

    In comparing bill 101 with the new Quebec Values Charter, it's interesting to analyze which of the two pose a greater violation of civil rights. Once bill 101 was passed, public service workers that did not speak French in many cases were forced to leave their jobs. For many of us who were...
