Every study shows that vaccine campaigns immensely reduce the strain on provincial health systems, but Quebec is now charging $150-180 for a Covid shot: effectively shutting out most people from getting it.
Quebec's latest COVID campaign is underway, but vaccines aren't free for all
Only certain groups will be eligible to receive a free COVID shot. Other will have to pay $150 to $180.

Probably the Silksong review that best reflects my own feelings. The game teases you with its highs and kills you with its lows. Eventually, if you don't like the grind, you get bored and go home.

Nintendo has decided to get extremely litigious with Switch emulators, undoubtedly to create a chilling effect to stall future projects.

Concordia admin moves so slowly for everything...except getting ahead of the news cycle with protesters.

Gotta love that our university president set into motion a flurry of emails and phone calls at 6 AM this morning that was at least in part fear mongering.
Screenshot of CTV news article that says: 

Concordia University has closed its downtown Montreal campus, cancelling classes and labs, on Tuesday after a small group of protestors disrupted classes and a midterm exam on Monday.

“We took this exceptional measure to protect our entire community,” said Graham Carr, the university’s president and vice-chancellor.

“In the last two years, we have seen protests on campus, but have never been forced to enact such preventive measures.”

But Carr says “that changed yesterday [Monday] after two individuals were arrested.”

“One of those arrested was later discovered to be in possession of a metal bar and several incendiary devices,” he said. “Neither of these individuals are members of the Concordia community.”

Montreal police (SPVM) would not confirm Concordia’s claims of the presence of a metal bar or incendiary devices.

However, the force noted that two people were arrested on campus after classes were interrupted.

“One person was arrested for starting a fire alarm, so [a potential charge of] mischief,” said Raphaël Bergeron, a spokesperson with Montreal police. “Another person was arrested for assault.”

Throwback to last weekend's @qgcon.bsky.social, where I got to moderate a discussion with a wonderful group of organisers.
A panel at QGCon called "Community, Organizing, and Solidarity" featuring four speakers and a moderator up on stage.

Starting out the day right by admiring Fraggle Rock artwork.
