• Macpherson: Former Péquistes turned instant Caquistes

  02-11-2018 19:10 via montrealgazette.com
  The independence question may have gone away after the Oct. 1 Quebec election, but the indépendantistes haven’t.
  They’re still in positions of influence in the National Assembly, and in the new Coalition Avenir Québec government.
  There are the 10 MNAs each for the two pro-independence parties, the Parti Québécois and Québec solidaire. In the latter, independence-first MNAs even form a sort of caucus within the caucus.

• The Right Chemistry: Putting concerns about weed killer glyphosate into perspective

  20-03-2026 16:00 via montrealgazette.com
  I don’t often quote the Bible, but I’ll snip a phrase from Matthew 7:7: “Seek and you shall find.” Matthew did not have chemistry in mind, but of course I do. My take is that if you test a chemical with enough doses and endpoints in rodents, you will often find some statistically significant effect. The key question, though, is whether that effect is biologically meaningful and relevant to human exposure. That question repeatedly comes up in discussions of glyphosate, the

• Lincoln: Supreme Court's Bill 21 case will be a milestone in a pivotal year for Quebec

  20-03-2026 11:54 via montrealgazette.com
  On Monday, the Supreme Court of Canada will start hearing arguments in a final appeal against the Quebec government’s secularism law, Bill 21. It seems significant that our highest court should have agreed to consider this case, given that both the Quebec Superior Court and Quebec Court of Appeal had previously ruled that, because of the pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause for the legislation, they were unable to address the issue of fundamental rights, set aside and rendered voi

She and her newborn flew to Nicaragua, then moved overland toward Canada, where they finally crossed into Quebec at Roxham Rd. in February 2023. Weeks later, the unofficial border crossing in Hemmingford woul
