Conrad Black: The Quebec secessionist strategy — disrupt the status quo of indifference

The reaction across Canada to Quebec’s Bill 96, another language law invoking the professed threat to the survival of the French language in Quebec in order to justify an obnoxious retrenchment of freedom of expression in the province, has been quite different to the response to its predecessors, Liberal Premier Robert Bourassa’s Bill 22 in 1974, and Parti Québecois Premier Rene Levesque’s Bill 101 in 1977. On those occasions, there were intense reactions from the non-French community of Quebec, representing approximately 20 per cent of the population, and very audible sympathetic noises from the other (primarily English-speaking) provinces. The general indifference we’ve seen this time indicates the extent of Quebec’s gradual suppression of its non-French minority, as well as the fatigue and boredom of attrition that afflicts the Rest of Canada on the subject of Quebec.

Quebec confirms first case of ‘double mutant’ variant from India

Quebec has identified its first case of the B.1.617 variant of COVID-19 that originated in India and is believed to be fuelling the pandemic surge in that country.

The case was identified in a patient in the Mauricie region, north of Trois-Rivières, officials with the Institut national de la santé du Québec (INSPQ) confirmed Wednesday.

There is no such thing as a ‘double mutant’. This is shameless fearmongering.

Quebec Superior Court upholds religious symbols ban, but Anglo schools exempt

The Quebec Superior Court has struck down some sections of the province’s secularism law, but also ruled its most controversial provisions are constitutional.

In a ruling handed down Tuesday morning, Justice Marc-André Blanchard said the Quebec government has the right to restrict what religious symbols are worn by government employees, such as teachers, police officers and prosecutors.

But he also said the law can’t be applied to English schools because it violates minority language education rights, protected under Section 23 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
