Support the hardest hitting journalism in Quebec.\nGab and Isaac dive into one of the most important weeks in Canada since the 1980s. The results of this week's Supreme court case could change the future of the country, and of human rights in the country.\nIn front of the Supreme Court, they are deliberating on whether or not Bill 21 can carry through. Bill 21 is a Quebec bill that disallows people to wear \"religious symbols\" while working for the public service. The government used the notwithstanding clause twice since taking power in 2018, (we wrongly said in the episode that they used it every year- but this isn't true, they used a different controversial clause called a \"baîllon\" every year.)\nThe Liberal government under Justin Trudeau challenged the bill, and although Mark Carney hasn't weighed in on the subject, his Liberals have continued the challenge. There will be 4 days straight of court hearings about the subject, which has only happened one other time in 1998. The Supreme Court almost always does hearings that last 1 day, sometimes 2. The Globe and Mail made a fantastic article on the subject.\nOther than that, we dive deep into the Troisième lien in Quebec city, and the new CAQ budget- as well as new developments on the controversies that ended Pablo Rodriguez' career.\nOther headlines we covered:\nCanada and Nordic countries meet and vow “closer collaboration as a middle power bloc.”\nThe Federal Liberals have reached new highs in the polls, not seen since 2016 after Trudeau swept a surprise majority and was at the peak of his honeymoon.\nDonald Trump’s administration was paid $10 billion to broker a TikTok deal to create a US version of TikTok.\nTrump says he plans on attacking or annexing Cuba. He was quoted as saying, “I do believe I’ll have the honour of taking Cuba.”\nSocial assistance is not helping...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/YberMjIMmrPaBOKBnAzoSuKrYB9mkB8-Xvt1j2h9wPs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NGRj/NDYwYzdkNDkwOGUy/Njg1ZTkyOTIxZDE3/YjliMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
