Three schools to be investigated
Bernard Drainville is ordering investigation of three Montreal schools for toxic behaviour, insubordination and interference, according to Radio‑Canada. CTV’s version of the story simply says the investigations are “over religion.”

This and the previous story of public prayer are straight out of the Doug Ford “I’m going to distract you from my government’s shitty performance with a law against bike lanes” school of political misdirection. So again, where’s my doctor and why are Hydro rates rising and why are we continuing to sink money into Northvolt and why are we giving out 2 billion while education, health has to cut etc 😛

The thing is, the toxic religiosity is a big problem and it’s a good thing it’s been addressed.
You blokes can’t understand that, because you used religion to exploit and dominate us, but this is precisely why we absolutely HATE religion and do not want to see kids exposed to that.

Jean Naimard, we “blokes” didn’t “use” religion as a club. Most Québécois folks embraced it as the most important thing in life. You can’t make women have a dozen kids and chivvy some of them to becoming nuns and priests if they don’t believe in the thing.
Because you don’t believe and can’t imagine yourself into the mindset of people who did, does not mean they didn’t. Having grown up in a religious Irish Catholic household, it wasn’t so different for me. And blokes did not do that to us! My ancestors (recent ancestors) loved and wanted the religion and felt no doubts about it. I remember what it was like living in that setting. My mother even dutifully suggested I should consider becoming a nun.

I’ve heard the blokes blamed for lots of stuff but tricking the good people of Quebec into being dominated by the Catholic church is a new one on me. Next you’ll be telling me la Grande Noirceur was a secret false flag plot by a cabal of Westmount Rhodesians with Duplessis as their sekrit double agent.
