my latest, in which I: 1) talk about cape breton; 2) try and make queer/deindustrialization make sense; 3) see how much mileage I can get off of a Simpsons gag

"Just because queer community did not exist in the way we might think it always does in urban centres, that doesn’t mean it did not exist at all." Next post in our @deindustrialpol series, from @Concordia's @liamjdevitt, is live now. activehistory.ca/2023/06/is-the…

@Jameshasaface not to mention her dissent in Gosselin v Québec calling for a positive interpretation of s7 charter rights, ie the gov must provide life, liberty and security of the person in terms of welfare policy

I think it’s close-minded if you are an Anglo living in Quebec who has not considered at least some of the arguments for separation— the modern established separatist movement is trash but it has a long history as a liberation rather than merely a nationalist movement

As the son of two proud Montrealers driven out of their home by separatism, and someone who loves Montreal, Quebec, and Canada with my whole entire heart, it’s entirely cut and dry
Craig Sauvé 🌹@CraigSauve

There are quiet sovereigntists in the Liberal Party and the Conservative party as well -and there has been for decades. Quebec politics is not so cut-and-dry …as this Ontario Liberal who is trying to score cheap points would have us believe.

This pearl clutching « stand for Canada » shit is so fucking funny— sovereigntists, especially QS types, are not frothing at the mouth to Eliminate The Canadian Nation, and you’d know that if you had more that 1 brain cell, Evan

“Immense respect” for a separatist who is going to “continue the fight for all the causes he’s championed” … “in a critical moment for Quebec” Avi Lewis take a fucking stand for Canada

@JFLisee JF, mon cher, Simone de Beauvoir était elle-même une philosophe inspirée par la tradition marxiste, et elle a collaboré avec la PCF. Il n’y a pas vraiment de contradiction majeure entre ces deux points de vue, même s’ils sont présentés de manière caricaturale, comme tu l’as fait.

Dans la version marxiste du monde, l'introduction des garderies à faible coût fait partie du plan capitaliste patriarcal pour obliger les femmes à travailler tout en "reproduisant la force de travail". Dans la version de Simone de Beauvoir, l'indépendance économique des femmes, donc leur accès au salaire, est la condition indispensable de leur liberté. Je choisis Simone.

Quand il est question de natalité , la mémoire collective à Radio-Canada s’arrête aux années 50 alors qu’une politique très concrète a marqué la fin des années 80 et le début des années 90. 1/2

All the people freaking about Boulerice being at least sovereignty-curious and him and Avi still being cool with each other really need to pick up a book or at least think for more than a microsecond about the fact that the politics of QC are not those of the ROC

Every new piece of information I get about Carla Beck makes her political positions *more* baffling and inscrutable to me, but today I finally did her star chart and discovered she is a Libra Sun and a Gemini Moon and now things are starting to click into place.
