Public unions hold demonstration
Public unions locked into fruitless negotiations for new contracts are holding a demonstration Saturday afternoon, marching from Jeanne‑Mance Park down to the Quartier des spectacles. More than 90% of members favour a strike.

The government isn’t even willing to offer raises matching the cost of living as there is “no money” but they gave themselves a 30% raise. It’s egregiously insulting to already overworked, understaffed, and underpaid public sector earners.
Quebec has the lowest paid teachers and the highest paid provincial Assembly politicians. It’s a slap in the face.
Enough bad-faith negotiation, 420k public sectors on strike at once can bring this province to a grinding halt – and aren’t afraid to do so.
