I’ve been watching with increasing trepidation — and even a little bewilderment — at the way the Legault government continues to turn the screws on Quebec doctors in an attempt to force them to somehow do more with less. Health minister Christian Dubé recently tabled Bill 106, giving the government the authority to regulate how health professionals are compensated in an effort to see them take on more patients.

Montreal’s great spring thaw is glorious. I love this city around the clock, and there’s no denying summer is when Montreal outdoes itself in sexy razzle-dazzle. But I most love being here for the first signs of spring. I suspect this thrill may be unique to winter cities. Those places that get buried under snow, grey skies and frigid weather for what always feels a little too long. I have lived in spots where seasons seem almost interchangeable. Those folks enjoy spring, too — but not like this.

Probably one of the most frustrating things to experience ahead of a major election is watching friends or acquaintances sharing obvious misinformation or disinformation online, knowing there’s nothing you can do to make them change their minds. Even when it’s pointed out that the source is untrustworthy, or the “news” has been refuted with evidence, those who have bought the lie will simply deflect and deny.

Thank you.
Discussion of a gender parity cabinet never seems to focus on whether men deserve half the spots, only whether women do.
