Quebec saw 27 more Covid deaths Friday as experts say the virus is getting the upper hand again.
Tom Mulcair has an op-ed in the Gazette about the Legault government and the Herron situation and a writer in Le Devoir is incensed by François Legault’s claim that Covid is just a cold.
Antivaxx posters making false claims are turning up around town.

That poster has been there for ages and it’s the only one of them I’ve seen.

That’s good to know. I wonder why it’s in the news.

Because it’s easier to steal from people when they’re scared all the time?
I hope this isn’t the reason for that article, but I suspect it might explain a lot of “events.”

The city’s impending climate summit is meant to consider concrete actions toward reducing emissions. I find myself hoping it can have some effect, but I’m not sure it can. Canada is a big emitter of greenhouse gas and, if the next federal government is Tory – as, with predictable Canadian-ness, it probably will be, given our pendulum politics – this country will revert to mining even more fossil fuels than it does now. What a city can do is minimal by comparison.
A terse opinion piece in the Journal raises some pertinent points focused on one key question: since our way of life must change, how much change are we willing to accept? As Madeleine Pilote‑Côté writes, taking our own bag to the grocery store is not enough.

The next federal election won’t be for three or four years. The NDP needs cash too much to allow one earlier.
And at that point we’ll see how much people like PP as Con leaderIan

La Presse’s Isabelle Ducas says Tony Accurso has got away with it – he’ll have to pay a fraction of the millions that Montreal, Laval, the federal and the provincial revenue tried to claim.
You just have to owe enough money to the tax people. Owe a few grand, and they’ll have you by the throat.

The Way of the Cross procession resumes Friday after two years in abeyance due to Covid. But the route, from Bonsecours to the Cathedral, sounds pretty short – wasn’t there a time when this event began at Notre‑Dame to wend its way northward, visiting parish churches along the way, all the way to the Back River?
I remember in the Plateau seeing a Good Friday procession visiting St‑Jean‑Baptiste church on Rachel, up the street from my old place, and my neighbour kindly explaining to me that it was because of the crucifixion of the Son of God. I, a godless Anglo, would never have heard of it.

I happened across it and was surprised by the amount of people in the procession (around 2 or 3 city blocks in length).
