Quebec researchers call out government after anti-racism training cancelled

 Two university researchers are calling out the Quebec government for political interference and censorship.

Retired Prof. Michele Vatz-Laaroussi, an emeritus professor at Université de Sherbrooke and Prof. Lilyane Rachedi with the school of social work at UQAM say they were awarded a contract to develop anti-racism training for the province’s health-care employees, but it was pulled by the health ministry over a reference to systemic racism.

“Deception, incomprehension, I’d say shock,” said Vatz-Laaroussi, when asked what her reaction was to the cancellation.
