StatCan data shows 300k Quebec kids eligible for English school, 76 per cent attend
New data on the number of Canadian children who have the constitutional right to education in an official minority language will help school boards plan and allow for further research, Statistics Canada said Wednesday.
The data, which comes from the 2021 census, shows that 304,000 children in Quebec have the right to attend regular English public schools and that 593,000 children outside the province have the right to attend regular French public schools.
The census found that nearly 70 per cent of eligible school-age children attend, or have attended, a regular public school in their official minority language.

Quebec shuts down motion seeking adoption of Joyce’s Principle
Quebec Solidaire's motion seeking the government's recognition of the existence of systemic racism against women and girls and the adoption of Joyce's Principle was promptly shut down at the National Assembly Thursday morning.
Quebec Solidaire's co-spokesperson, Manon Manon Massé, paired up with non-profit Femmes Autochtones du Quebec and First Nations leaders to present the motion.
"We know the government has his position about systemic racism but now, all Indigenous communities want change," said Chief Sipi Flamand, head of the Manawan band council.

Opinion: Ottawa should ask Supreme Court to rule on notwithstanding clause
It is clear that Bill 21 on the laicité of Quebec would collapse without the notwithstanding clause. At least 50 per cent of Bill 96 would collapse if the clause were not used there.

Myth #34354 L’échec de l’accord du lac Meech
Cette dernière [Commission Belanger-Campeau], petit rappel, a été créée au lendemain de l’échec de l’accord du lac Meech en juin 1990, quand le Canada anglais avait refusé de reconnaître le Québec comme société distincte et de lui accorder certains pouvoirs jugés essentiels pour sa survie et son avenir.
NO ACTUALLY the Accord was defeated by some provincial (NB, MB, NL), feminist, and indigenous stakeholders. The political class of "English Canada" endorsed Meech by a clear majority.

réintégrer la constitution canadienne, dont il avait été exclu en 1982.
