Quebecers are genuinely fed up with the language debate.

The CAQ has an unhinged obsession with making everyone believe that French is in decline. Ironically, the public use of French in Montreal was actually increasing while Legault fear-mongered about its so-called “decline” in order to pass Bill 96. www.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/office/commu...

The Polytechnique massacre wasn't just a mass shooting — it was a mass femicide. The gunman explicitly targeted women and blamed feminists for the troubles in his life. We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

The memory of the mass femicide at Polytechnique is still painful.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Montreal massacre, where 14 women — students at Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique — lost their lives in a mass shooting motivated by misogyny.
