Bookstore group restores premier’s booklist
There’s a tempest going on in Quebec media and commentariat about the Association des libraires du Québec, which runs lists of books favoured by notable people. Recently they had François Legault’s list, where he praised a book by Mathieu Bock-Côté. The ALQ responded by deleting his list although they kept his video on their Facebook page. Cue general cries of censorship (the ALQ is not a government branch) and rending of garments. The list has since been restored on the Facebook page. The story is summed up here.

Well, at least it’s not only commentators on here who are dubious about MBC.

Oddly with Quebecor columnist screaming censorship they are the only major media outlet to take a pass on this story. https://journalmetro.com/local/montreal-nord/2583752/le-csspi-congedie-lenseignant-vincent-ouellette/
You know a story about an entitled bully crapping on his students for 25 years , telling them that he had the right to offend them and objectify them because of his “status”. Apparently he has a new job lined up.

Jack – That Twitter post is parody, not real news.
