The weather in Quebec is what it is, so the CAQ is going to end up trying to write a law that allows ski masks unless they're worn by a protestor or a Muslim woman.

Oh god, this made me tear up
if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead”
even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.
