“Every year, when I see 14 beams of light projected into the sky above Mount Royal, I have to catch my breath. “36 years ago, 14 young women were murdered in one of the most violent examples of misogynistic terrorism Canada has ever known.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social. #December6

The snow is so merciless Poor old Montreal

“This year will mark 36 years since 14 young women were murdered on Dec. 6, 1989, and I don’t think it ever gets easier to think of the circumstances of their deaths or the stamped-out promise of their young lives.” #dec6 cultmtl.com/2025/11/gend...

Remember their names and honour their memory. #dec6

“We can’t all be expected to bike.” Fair. But that’s not the point. “Not everyone can or wants to bike. But some people can & do—and they deserve a safe, efficient, affordable way to move through the city. It’s about freedom of choice.” This & other useful comebacks, in @momentummag.bsky.social.

Opinion | Mark Carney's new minister drew outrage with his comments about French in Quebec. One problem: He was right - Toronto Star

Triste. J’ai fait le voyage jusqu’à Bilbao juste pour aller voir son magnifique musée!

Legault dépense nos salaires annuels dans une conférence de presse tandis que 1 personne sur 3 a faim et que des gens passent la nuit dehors à -26. 😤

« Car la véritable menace qui pèse sur nous n’est pas la présence de femmes voilées dans les écoles, mais l’appauvrissement démocratique qui survient lorsqu’une majorité s’autorise à décider qui mérite d’appartenir à la communauté politique. »

“François Legault may present himself as a defender of Quebec’s culture, society and language, but he does so in a manner no different from the Catholic Church that held the province captive throughout la Grande Noirceur.“ Quebec language politics have become increasingly disconnected from reality

Slashing immigration should help with that. www.tvanouvelles.ca/2025/12/05/f...

Canadian-born architect Frank Gehry has died at the age of 96. His work was simply exquisite. Playful lines, bold designs… pure art! Look up his iconic work if you don’t know him. RIP.

"The groundwork for violence against women is laid out daily in a world where misogyny is normalized and accepted. A toxic online culture allows young men immersed in 'manosphere' subcultures to monetize terrorizing women with no impunity." @mtltoula.bsky.social #16DaysOfActivism

“At the time, Premier François Legault described Bill 21 as moderate — meant to appease people ‘who were a little bit racist, who’d like to see no religious symbols anywhere, not even in the public place.’ Fast forward to 2025.

Cette charge d’une grande violence a laissé le milieu culturel K.-O. Son crime ? Quelques mots somme toute banals, une forme de politesse habituelle quand un nouveau ministre est nommé. www.lapresse.ca/dialogue/chr...

2/ Police and judges can only enforce the laws implemented by the National Assembly. Teachers can only teach the curriculum authorised and set out by the Ministry of Education. This is wholesale bigotry.

Thank you for clearly pointing out the hypocrisy and silliness of this law. Laïcité has come to mean nothing more than « dérange pas mon oncle » - outlaw anything that makes me uncomfortable.

I find it supremely ironic that as an atheist I’ve spent the better part of a decade writing in defence of Quebecers’ religious beliefs and their right to freely practise their faith. montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...

All these ridiculousness and real issues - santé, housing, food prices, wages, education, infrastructure etc - are swiped aside as if they’ll be solved by imposing laws on clothing choices

“The government would now have me believe that a school janitor or lunch lady has the power to proselytize in between mopping floors or serving the cafeteria special, & that a parent volunteer wearing a kippah poses a threat to secularism & can’t enter a school.” montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...

At this rate there won’t be anyone left in the party.

Groups that focus on human rights, immigration issues and the environment join unions in calling the CAQ's plan deeply flawed. montrealgazette.com/news/provinc...

« la Société des auteurs de radio, télévision et cinéma (SARTEC) reçoit depuis mercredi matin des commentaires haineux, certains qualifiant cette organisation de "traître".» Tu te lèves un matin et tu te dis «je vais aller insulter la <check notes> SARTEC.» Merci PSPP!

"Ça tombe bien, M. Miller est aussi responsable de la culture. Et sur ce sujet, il n’y a pas d’ambiguïté : la menace est réelle et l’ennemi est connu. Il s’agit des plateformes étrangères." Et si le #PQ était cohérent, il cesserait de diffuser sur X, Facebook, etc.. www.lapresse.ca/actualites/c...

Atteint d’un cancer de la prostate, Bruno Blanchet exhorte les hommes à aller se faire dépister

« Laisser entendre que des ministres québécois, parce qu’ils sont fédéralistes, nuisent sciemment au Québec est pour le moins démagogique. » www.lapresse.ca/arts/chroniq...

Kicking people while they’re down. The CAQ making me feel so proud. 😒

I just received the dreaded letter from my exasperated family doctor. He's leaving for greener pastures. Back on the orphan patient list with 325,000 other hopefuls. Thanks for nothing Pappa Legault. I liked him! Legault...not so much. And where's the hospital promised to us a decade ago?!?!?

Les élections provinciales sont l’an prochain au Québec, pis j’suis déjà épuisée...
