Damned lies and statistics
CTV reports that the 2021 census shows that the proportion of immigrants arriving in Quebec with sufficient French has declined slightly, while the Gazette sees it as most immigrants to Quebec speak French. Either way, this is a highly politicized statistic here, which we’ll hear much more about.
Meantime, a mural in honour of refugees was unveiled this week, Radio‑Canada placing it in CDN‑NDG, but nothing more specific about its location. This Radio‑Canada piece also talks about a new mural in the Village that honours Jean Duceppe on his centenary.

Finding Home Again, the refugee mural, is at 7110 Côte-des-Neiges, on the west side of the street halfway between the train tracks and Jean-Talon. Initiated by Médecins Sans Frontières. Hardly the centre of the borough or the ‘hood, but at least TMR commuters in their Audis and BMWs will have it in their face every morning…
