“Thúy has been a Quebecer longer than Bock-Côté has been alive. Why is she being treated by him as a foreigner, branded as ungrateful the minute she criticizes policies & rhetoric that deeply impact Quebec’s reputation and many Quebecers’ sense of belonging?”

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Toula Drimonis: How exactly would cutting services save Quebec health care?
When Geneviève Biron was introduced as the head of Santé Québec, she promised “an innovative approach.” Cutting services we barely have access to would be anything but innovative.

ANALYSIS | It's not easy to talk about racism in Quebec. Just look at the province's latest controversy | CBC News
A speech made by a lawmaker about othering sparked a political firestorm in the province. The controversy surrounding MNA Haroun Bouazzi's comments highlights Quebec politicians' struggle — or unwillingness — to talk about racism.
