Quebec’s prosecutor is going to the Supreme Court to try to get Sivaloganathan Thanabalasingham back and put him on trial for the murder of his wife in 2012. Thanabalasingham was freed because of the federal Jordan ruling on trial delays, and went home to Sri Lanka. It’s unclear whether he could be forced to return here.

The coming week is Spring Break – we never had this when I was in school, it was just like working people in Quebec who have to slog from New Year to Easter without a single long weekend as respite – so there are various features about things people with kids can find for them to do.

The Bloc Québécois split this week – as one Twitter wit said, we should’ve foreseen the Bloc would separate from the Bloc – leaving a dust cloud of commentary. In the Globe, Konrad Yakabuski has a piece you can’t read headlined Even in death, the Bloc could wreak havoc on the Liberals while Le Devoir asks whether the Bloc’s implosion will do the Liberals some good. CBC simply asks, more neutrally, what the effect will be on the next federal election. The general impression: it’s too soon to tell.

In February 2016 a woman went to the MUHC ER but left soon after. She died within a month. Kimberly Gloade was Mi’kmaq but the story line is all about payment – she didn’t have a health card and, on being told that she’d have to pay, decided her only choice was to leave. This story says the MUHC has changed its ways and won’t be so heavy-handed about demanding payment from uninsured patients, but I smell PR.
