  • Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec's English-Speaking Minority
    Brief to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec’s English-speaking Minority Communities Presented by the Quebec Community Groups Network April 12, 2016 Introduction The Quebec Community Groups Network, or QCGN, is a not-for-profit representative organization. We serve as a centre of evidence-based expertise and collective action. QCGN is focused on strategic issues affecting the development and vitality of Canada’s English linguistic minority communities, to which we collectively refer as the English-speaking community of Quebec. Our 48 members are also not-for-profit community groups. Most provide direct services to community members. Some work regionally, providing broad-based services. Others work across Quebec in specific sectors such as health, and arts and culture. Our members include the Quebec Community Newspaper Association (QCNA). English-speaking Quebec is Canada’s largest official language minority community. A little more than 1 million Quebecers specify English as their first official spoken language. Although 84 per cent of our community lives within the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area, more than 210,000 community members live in other Quebec regions. Media Landscape English-speaking Quebecers have consistently signalled that access to information in their own language is both a need and a priority (CHSSN-CROP survey, various years). This may seem a bit of a contradiction in a world awash in English language information through CNN, Time magazine and Hollywood movies galore. The important nuance is that English- speaking Quebecers need information in their own language about their own local and regional communities, something that is increasingly hard to access on a consistent basis in a context of the francization of daily life in Quebec and the demise of traditional community media.

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report March 8, 2019 Quotation of the day “Lisa, listen to us!” A woman yells at Children Services Minister Lisa MacLeod as she’s escorted from the chamber ​ ​ while hundreds descended on the south lawn in protest of the PC’s revamped autism system. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule MPPs are heading back to their ridings for the March Break constituency week. The House is adjourned until Monday, March 18. Thursday’s debates and proceedings MPPs considered Bill 74, People’s Health Care Act, before question period. The legislation to ​ ​ ​ ​ establish an Ontario Health super-agency needs roughly two more hours of debate before a second-reading vote can be called. A Tory backbench bill and motion, as well as inaugural Ontario Green legislation, chugged forward during the afternoon’s private members’ business: ● PC MPP Christine Hogarth’s Bill 65, Protecting Our Pets Act, will go under the ​ ​ ​ ​ microscope at the Standing Committee on Justice Policy. The bill would establish an advisory committee to report on the quality of care for companion animals kept for entertainment, breeding, exhibition, boarding, hire or sale. ● PC MPP Donna Skelly’s motion — calling on the government to design a plan to ​ ​ ​ ​ promote a no-cost program that encourages unwanted clothing and textiles be donated to local charitable and non-profit organizations — passed after debate. (Motions are non-binding but have symbolic value — and Skelly’s got a dedicated hashtag from the premier: “#DontDumpDonate.) ​ ​ ● Green Leader Mike Schreiner’s Bill 71, Paris Galt Moraine Conservation Act, to protect ​ ​ ​ ​ the drinking water supply in Guelph, Wellington County and Waterloo region, is off to be studied by the general government committee.

  • Open Secret: Kevin Donovan’S Account of the Ghomeshi Investigation Is Comprehensive, but Not Revelatory
    Open secret: Kevin Donovan’s account of the Ghomeshi investigation is comprehensive, but not revelatory Book Review by David Hayes, The National Post, October 17, 2016 Secret Life: The Jian Ghomeshi Investigation By Kevin Donovan Goose Lane 260 pp; $19.95 Several years ago, while talking to one of my former feature writing students, Jian Ghomeshi’s name came up. I often listened to Ghomeshi hosting CBC Radio’s Q, and thought he was an effective interviewer whose hushed, intimate voice was made for radio. My former student, a talented young woman in her late 20s, said to me, “do you know the joke about Jian Ghomeshi? If you’re a female journalist in your 20s working in the arts in Toronto, he’s hit on you.” I was surprised but then thought, why should I be? It’s a common enough scenario and, if true, I would think less of Ghomeshi, but assumed it meant he was one of those middle-aged celebrities fixated on young women. Not admirable, perhaps, but also not criminal. When the Ghomeshi scandal became public — driven by the reporting of independent media critic Jesse Brown and triggered by Ghomeshi’s rambling Facebook post in which the former broadcaster admitted to a taste for consensual rough sex — it was catnip for the media. As weeks passed, more women came forward, mainly anonymously, with disturbing stories of choking, punching and sexual assault, initially on Brown’s Canadaland site and, later, in The Toronto Star when Brown entered into a partnership with the paper’s investigative unit and the coverage grew exponentially.
