and whereas some customers of the STM are travellers;
be it resolved that the STM allow English for any customer.

Montreal Gazette; 'PQ roasted over new Marchand job'
QUEBEC — The Coalition Avenir Québec is blasting the government for
handing a new job to the former head of its language enforcement agency.
“It’s this detestable game of musical chairs that Quebecers are fed up with,” CAQ leader François Legault told Premier Pauline Marois during question period Thursday.
Legault was reacting to news that less than a week after the government removed the president of the Office québécois de la langue française, Louise Marchand, the Quebec cabinet quietly reassigned her.

After a Yes vote for independence, he asked, “what happens if negotiations (with the rest of Canada) fail, don’t go anywhere?”

Tom Flanagan had no reason to apologize
Tom Flanagan had no reason to apologize
The current furor over remarks made by University of Calgary professor Tom Flanagan reminds us again how very important academic freedom is to the life of our nation. Unfortunately, it also reminds us how shallow the commitment to it is, of even our universities.
Flanagan, in response to a question during a presentation at the University of Lethbridge Wednesday evening, restated his doubt that those who view child pornography should go to prison. For this, he was dismissed as a commentator on the CBC program Power and Politics, he was dumped by Alberta’s Wildrose party, and the president of the University of Calgary, speaking in her role as president, asserted that “Child pornography is not a victimless crime,” (not something Flanagan denied, by the way).
Strangely, Flanagan later apologized “to all who were offended by my statement.” “Strangely,” because he had nothing to apologize for. He was doing what a professor should — raising and commenting on a matter of public concern — and for that he deserves to be commended.
