English Speaking Quebeckers Federally delegated as second class citizens There are 800,000+ native English speakers in Quebec. We all need to vote en masse against the Liberals to send a clear message that we are not second class citizens.

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...

I’m not a Canadians fan, not by any means (despite me living in MTL). However if the feds think it’s ok to bend the rules and bypass the 14 day quarantine requirement in order to accommodate the Golden Knights players, then why would it not be ok to bend the rules to allow a full capacity crowd...

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...

There’s a saying in my neck of the woods. “Live Free or Die”. Many of our troops paid the ultimate price fighting wars so we could enjoy our freedoms and liberties. They’d be turning over in their graves if they knew that we’ve lost those freedoms and liberties that they fought so hard for...

Tsk tsk ... I sense anger management issues. Could it be that mask wearing has impeded oxygen intake to your brain which has resulted in this outburst of anger?

No vaccination for me. To this day I have not spent one black cent on a mask. I will not contribute to having my civil rights violated. Also, as a smoker, wearing a mask is just not feasible. I simply lift my t-shirt over my nose and mouth when entering an establishment that requires a face...

Sure. We should all have the freedom to decide for ourselves whether or not to wear a mask. I’m not forbidding anyone from wearing masks if they so desire. Just don’t force it upon me. I’m watching UFC live from Phoenix as I type this message. The Gila River Arena is full of UFC fans with no...

Bernier will get my vote, hands down. As a social conservative, I find that O’Toole has betrayed his base with his views on gay marriage and abortion. The fact that Bernier got arrested to fight for our freedoms shows me that he cares about the Constitution and our fundamental rights.

The former New Jersey governor has a point. Biden is a weak leader. Former New Jersey Governor slams Biden for allowing Canada COVID double standard

A column written five years ago. It would have been hard five years ago to put an end to the English-French division that has existed in Quebec for about half a century. Now with bill 96 on the table, it’s not ever going to happen. On my side, I’ve stopped socializing with my French speaking...

They’re lucky that all they’re getting is a ticket. I once witnessed a high end SUV that was illegally parked in a handicapped zone getting vandalized. Montreal police hand out 185 tickets in two days to drivers illegally using disabled parking spaces

I heard from a source that some folks are trying to get the New York Times to publish a column in it’s paper containing details regarding bill 96. That’s one way to get the world to react. Denied one’s fundamental rights because of language in a country like Canada and in 2021 is simply...

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...

Finally! What took so long??? Some U.S. states had mask burning ceremonies and re-opened their restaurant dining rooms months ago. Why are we always behind with the times and playing second fiddle all the time? Indoor Restaurant Dining Rooms to re-open in Montreal and Laval

Yes, and we have our current PM to blame for that!

Here is a link to the UK ruling: Enforced Wearing of Masks Declared Unconstitutiinal

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...

Looks like we’re heading back to a full-fledged language war in Quebec, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the 1970’s and 1980’s. The Pandora’s box has been opened. With Bill 96 on the table, there’s no going back now. I already sense tension in the air. So much for getting along with my...

In the short term, this should not be an issue as foreigners are generally not permitted to travel to Canada due to covid.
