Quebec’s next target is religious schools. Plus: The Quebec judge protecting a criminal’s right to vacation in Florida

from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Elias Makos is joined by Raphaël Melançon, political analyst for CTV Montreal and CJAD 800, columnist for the Montreal Gazette, and president and founder of Trafalgar Strategies, and Meeker Guerrier, Commentator at Noovo and RDS. Quebec will cut the subsidy of religious schools who select children according to their faith. Moreover, the wearing of religious symbols will also be prohibited for future teachers and employees of private schools. The Quebec government provided its economic update yesterday and some relief is on its way.  A Quebec judge has sparked controversy by allowing a man accused of criminal harassment in a domestic-violence case to remove his anti-proximity bracelet so he can spend the winter in Florida — despite allegations he’d already breached his release conditions. The announcement by McGill to cut 25 varsity programs has caused many in the sporting world to denounce the move.
