Bill 21 upheld with exceptions
I’m seeing on Twitter that Bill 21 has been upheld with exceptions: anglo school boards, and members of the National Assembly.

Attache ta tuque. A 250-page complex ruling on legislation that will be in courts forever because it invoked the notwithstanding clause, so every five years the provincial government has to pass it again.

The CAQ plans to appeal the exceptions to the Supreme Court. That judge’s Solomonic decision will please no one.

I continue to wait for reporters to ask if students have the right to care about their schools having secular names, but no one ever seems to.
Whatever the result was it was going to the Supreme Court.

@ jeather, catholicism is non-secular. so check-mate.

Yes, it’s a part of Quebec’s cultural heritage, which is by definition secular because it happened in the past or something.

I think sadly this decision will be used to attack the English CEGEPs . Legault seemed plenty mad that his “valeurs” couldn’t be felt in the English School boards. He of all people understands ethnic politics in Quebec. I hope I am wrong but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the new legislation on language will be tougher based on this decision.

I would like to hear how anyone who supports Bill 21 has had their life improved since this legislation was passed.We have ample testimony concerning the lives adversely affected.

Having a different rule for anglo boards just feels like another line in the sand saying that Quebec is made up of francophones and “others”.

I was pondering that, GC. See, the hijab is a threat to Quebec culture, but it isn’t a threat on the anglo side, because, as you know, anglos have no culture.
