Jubilation in the streets of Montreal as the U.S. attacks Iran. Plus: The OQLF targets bakeries and real estate brokers

from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Elias Makos kicks the week off with Jimmy Zoubris, Montreal businessman, longtime activist and former special advisor to Valerie Plante, and Trudie Mason, veteran newscaster at CJAD 800. U.S. President Donald Trump says operations in Iran could take"four weeks or less," and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country's strikes "will increase even more in the coming days."  CTV News described the scenes on the streets of Montreal as “pure jubilation” as Iranians living here celebrated the downfall of the Iranian regime.  Prime Minister Mark Carney says he supports destroying Iran's nuclear program, but ruled out Canada’s military participation in the Middle East conflict. What should Canada’s stance be here? It has been a busy couple of days for the OQLF as they have been targeting multiple people and businesses over the use, or lack thereof, of French on their social media pages. The CHU de Québec-Université Laval hospital has been under fire since Thursday because of a Facebook post. The message was about HPV screening but added that the screenings were for "all people with a cervix". The words "people with a cervix" were changed to the word "women," by Friday afternoon.
