Yeah as long as you slow down a bit to check if there’s incoming cars or pedestrians you’re fine.

QUÉBEC, le 30 oct. 2025 /CNW/ - La ministre de l’Éducation, Sonia LeBel, estime que l’adoption, par l’Assemblée nationale, du projet de loi n° 94, Loi visant notamment à renforcer la laïcité dans le réseau de l’éducation et modifiant diverses dispositions législatives, permettra d’encadrer de façon beaucoup concrète plusieurs principes qui sont chers aux Québécois et Québécoises.

« Cette loi vient écrire noir sur blanc que les écoles sont des lieux d’apprentissage neutres, où tous les élèves doivent évoluer sans pression religieuse, afin que leur éducation repose sur des valeurs fondamentales qui font largement consensus au Québec : la laïcité de l’État, la liberté de conscience, l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes ainsi que la primauté de la langue française », a déclaré la ministre LeBel. « Notre gouvernement rappelle ainsi que ces valeurs ne sont ni négociables ni malléables, et qu’elles sont dorénavant mieux protégées par la loi. »

Fin des accommodements pour motifs religieux

Avec l’adoption de cette loi, aucune absence ou congé supplémentaire ne pourra être accordé pour des célébrations religieuses qui ne figurent pas au calendrier scolaire. Quant à eux, les services alimentaires offerts dans les établissements scolaires ne pourront plus être adaptés à des restrictions fondées sur la religion. De plus, aucun local scolaire ne pourra être mis à disposition pour des pratiques religieuses, même en dehors des heures de classe. L’interdiction du port de signes religieux sera désormais étendue à l’ensemble du personnel présent dans les établissements scolaires, y compris dans les centres de services scolaires (CSS). Ces mesures visent à clarifier les responsabilités et à préserver le caractère laïque du réseau scolaire.

Ça va un peu trop loin quand même…

Mais la seule raison pourquoi la religion musulmane se sent visée c’est peut-être parce que c’est la plus contraignante? Pas le droit de manger ou boire telle ou telle affaire à condition que… interruption des activités 5 fois par jour pour aller prier, port de vêtements et signes religieux obligatoires, etc. Et ils sont inflexibles là-dessus tout dépendant du niveau de progressisme. Ils font pratiquement tout le temps exception à la règle et ça cause des ennuis de cohesion sociale.

On a rarement eu ce genre de problèmes avec d’autres religions. En tout cas pas aussi intense. Les juifs, les sikhs, Les bouddhistes, les bahai, n’ont jamais demandé d’accommodements très dérangeants.

Mais, oui cette loi va trop loin. On devrait avoir un minimum d’accommodations, surtout avec les repas. Et on s’en calice pas mal si une madame dans un bureau de la commission scolaire porte un signe religieux. Franchement.

Chu certain que c’est cette histoire de l’école avec les professeurs musulmans qui ont intimidé tout le monde et créé un climat de peur qui a influencé ça.

As a cyclist, I agree. Not all cyclists are like this, but a great majority are. These cyclists are a threat to everyone. Pedestrians, other cyclists, and themselves.

As a pedestrian, I’ve been hit several times on De Maisonneuve Ouest’s bike path while crossing at an intersection because a cyclist ran a red light into crossing pedesrians. As a cyclist, I’ve also had near miss collisions and have been pushed aside by assholes in leotards that want to go fast during rush hour when the path is full on Rachel. Absolute lack of consideration for others. The mentality needs to change.

Absolutely.

I’m fine with a simple yield on a stop sign, as long as you respect vehicle priority. But at a red light, you have to stop. It’s for everybody’s safey. Especially in a city.

Same!!!

If anything we need to do the opposite and go even further by nationalizing Air Canada outright, just like it used to be before Mulroney sold everything off to private interests.

Why? What was the cost of this? How does that hinder the budget or the economy in any way?

Proton Drive has a new photo management feature. Their app can automatically save photos and you can create albums, etc.

I’ve recently discovered Zorin OS and it’s a pretty awesome alternative to Mint IMO.

So you’re just going to round up every Albertan in the same group and treat them all the same regardless if they are progressives trying to fight to turn things around or not. Got it.

"Why do people keep categorizing these French people as french? I feel like it’s disrespectful. "

There’s a BIG difference between assuming someone is French because they speak French and assuming someone has a specific political view because they are from a geographical location. That’s a really poor example.

Anyway, do whatever you want. If you want to be a prejudicial bigot and automatically classify people based on your own generalized stereotypical view of them, don’t complain if people start criticizing you.

Yeah, but are you going to assume that just because someone is from a rura area that they’re automatically alt-right nazis? Or, alternatively, that because someone is from a metropolitan area that they’re not going to be bigoted assholes? Don’t you think this is a bit prejudicial? I think that’s what OP meant. At least that’s how I undertand it.

Like they pointed out, just because they’re Albertan, they’re immediately categorized into this alt-right conervative demographic. They also provided proof that there is a progressive movement in Alberta that’s protesting conservative ideologies.

The fuck is this? V for Vendetta?

Way to perpetuate the discrimination that OP was pointing out. Geez. 🙄

Québec: “Première fois?”

A lot of the problems you are mentioning is because of government cuts. In Montréal, the STM is also facing budget problems leading to strikes and projects taking longer and becoming more costly over time. But that’s because the provincial gouvernent are a bunch of corrupt idiots with no ethics who are giving away are tax dollars to their business friends.

And as for Canada Post, the main ceo guy at Canada Post is also on the board of Purolator, a private courier company. He’s been accused of conflict of interest and probably trying to sabotage Canada Post for his own corporate profits.

So… yeah.

Look at the grocery business. They’re mostly local players. Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys, etc. They’re all gouging the fuck out of Canadians.

And as for public companies, good example is Air Canada. When it was a public crown company it was one of the best airlines there was until it was privatized. Now they’re cutting everywhere and overcharging on every detail, leading to pricy services and bad quality of service.

Another example is the hydro electric companies in Québec. Before the private companies were nationalized, they would avoid investing in their infrastructure, avoid expanding their network and avoid maintenance as much as possible leading to frequent black outs. As soon as it was nationalized it became the pride of Québec because they not only expanded all over the province, they upgraded their infrastructure and ensured everyone would have world class services at a low cost.

Bixi, the Rent-a-bike service was going bankrupt until the city of Montreal acquired it and now they’re expanding all over the globe.

So I don’t know where you got this idea that public companies or services at stagnant.

Oh ok that’s good!

I thin as soon as you let private companies into critical infrastructures, you run te risk of having abuses. Freight trains are critical for economic sovereingty. Even by having public rails but private train companies, you still run the risk of having a foreign company overcharging or simply stopping service during a trade, economic, or actual war. Same with transportation. It’s such an essential service to have in a geographically large country like Canada, it shouldn’t be left solely to private companies or risk geeting gouged.

And that’s just for rail, trains, transport, etc.

For internet, make the infrastructure public and let companies use it to sell services. That’s fine. But still offer a public alternative just in case.

As for cloud services, the government should definitely have its own cloud system, but it shouldn’t be for public use. I would never store my personal files and information on a government cloud. That would definitely be a huge privacy risk.

Zorin OS is Ubuntu based. I wonder if, like Mint, they prioritize apt and flatpaks over snaps when using apt.
