“Unfortunately, it is an expense that we must incur because the cost of not fighting the government on these bills is far greater. It’s about the autonomy of school boards and our very existence as the last English-language institutions in Quebec.” @MtreOrtona 👏🏼 #MinorityRights
This is a screenshot of a video that @Dallas_Brodie shared identifying staffers in my constituency office. I will not post the video, but I will say that this as low as you can get, putting my staff, all who are under 25, at risk for your political games. @GlobalBC@CBCNews
Constitutions do more than organize authority; they shape belonging. When collective rights are elevated without clearly delineated safeguards those outside the majority may feel that their status rests less on principle and more on interpretation.

“The question you should be asking is this: How is it that so many anglophones don’t feel represented in this nation — and why so many don’t feel valued or included?” @MtreOrtona #EducationMatters https://t.co/iuDJANd9g7
English-speaking Quebecers want to feel at home in their province, to feel that their rights are respected and to be acknowledged as constructive players in the advancement of French in Quebec and bilingualism in Canada. #LanguageRights
“Living alongside one another, as anglophones and francophones, has taught us how to live with difference and diversity. It has freed us from cultural homogeneity and has made us a better people. That alone makes bilingualism worthwhile.”
The attack on a Jewish community in Australia breaks my heart. A day of great celebration and love has been turned into an act of violence and anti-Semitism. I cannot imagine the pain felt by the members of this community.
Upon learning of the attack, I spoke with SPVM Chief Fady Dagher to ensure that our police officers increase their level of vigilance in Montreal's Jewish communities. These communities are feeling anxious, and our police officers are there to support them.
Caution is warranted, but I am confident that the spirit of togetherness that characterizes Montreal will guide everyone's actions.
On peut voir dans cette tentative de bâillonner les contre-pouvoirs une vendetta de la CAQ contre la commission scolaire English-Montréal (…) Projet de constitution | Attention ! Danger pour la démocratie du Québec | La Presse https://t.co/YLjdWAOfJE
