One McGill education student described seeing Bill 21 invoked in the classroom..."[I] watched students and the teacher ridicule a Muslim girl for wearing a hijab. The teacher said with Bill 21, you can't dress like that...The girl was mortified and silent and just 11 years old."
A new study looking into how university students feel about Quebec’s religious symbols law is painting a bleak picture, with many saying they’ve lost faith in the province and plan to leave.

I cannot believe I am excited about going to see the Barbie movie. Also, this thread is brilliant --
There are two highly anticipated movies being released this week. One of them is about a controversial public figure and how they reflect the enduring cognitive dissonance between our stated values as a society and the reality of our myriad systemic hypocrisies.

Finally got around to watching Pachinko. I was reluctant at first because I loved the book so much, but the adaptation is beautifully done, and the acting is amazing. Really surprised it did not get any Emmy nominations
