"On Wednesday, Legault told reporters that the new Musee national de l’histoire du Quebec will focus specifically on the history of the French-speaking Quebecois nation. The 11 Indigenous nations in Quebec likely don’t consider themselves part of the Quebecois nation, he said, adding that their contributions will nonetheless be included in the museum."
“The idea is to show the history of the nation that was French-Canadian and now Quebecois, that started with Champlain,” he said in Quebec City. “But clearly we’ll talk about the Indigenous people who were there before we arrived.”"
I don't mind a museum of #Québec that focuses on the dominant culture here. But the conflation of Québécois and the French Canadians who live in Québec is frustrating: members of other nations live here too.
La centrale qui réchauffe le centre-ville de Montréal
sur le boulevard Robert-Bourassa. Depuis 1947, elle alimente le coeur du centre-ville. Des chaudières au gaz naturel chauffent de l'eau, qui se transforme en vapeur, et qui est envoyée par tuyaux jusqu'aux édifices du centre-ville : La Place Bonaventure, l'École de technologie supérieure, le mille de la Gauchetière, la place Ville-Marie. Ces chaudières seront convertie à l'électricité

#Quebec Premier #FrançoisLegault is facing criticism from opposition parties for asking police to dismantle the pro-Palestinian encampment on the #McGillUniversity campus.
Despite the premier's remarks and a recent closed-door meeting between the protesters and the school's administration, the group says it has no plans to leave their encampment.

Une centaine de personnes ont pris d’assaut l’espace devant les bureaux de #FrançoisLegault, au centre-ville de #Montréal, vendredi midi.
La manifestation, organisée par le Front régional pour l’action communautaire autonome de Montréal ( #FRACA Montréal ) se déroule au coin de la rue Sherbrooke Ouest et de l’avenue McGill College, juste en face du fameux campement installé depuis samedi.
Things are getting tense in front of McGill.
I'm really impressed with the demonstrators in the encampment. This whole time they've remained consistent in their stance and have managed to de-escalate situations repeatedly. All this despite attempts to escalate by counter-protesters and the McGill administration.
