QUEBEC – Premier François Legault announced that as part of the new pandemic curfew starting in Quebec, all homeless people will be required to find homes by 8pm every evening.
“We need these measures in place to keep the economy open during working hours when the virus doesn’t spread,” said Legault. “Everyone must go home by 8 o’clock, whether or not you have one.”
“There are lots of homes available in Quebec. Look, I can find 100 listings right here on my phone. Some might require the homeless in Montreal to commute from off the island to their favourite intersection, but there will be public transportation from there in a few years, maybe.”
Quebec thought it had learned from the 1st wave of COVID-19, so why is it facing another lockdown?
It appears Quebec, which recorded the highest number of deaths of any province in the spring, is about to become the first to enter a second large-scale lockdown. Measures expected to be announced by Premier François Legault on Wednesday could possibly include a curfew.

MONTREAL As Quebec remains firm on its decision to hold back second doses of the coronavirus vaccine, families of some of the first Pfizer vaccine recipients are threatening legal action. Joyce Shanks is one of the people demanding the province administer second doses. Her father, a resident of the Maimonides long-term care home in Cote-Saint-Luc, was one of the first people to get a dose of the new vaccine. Shanks said it was a ray of hope after nine months of being “scared to death.” She says a letter of consent had to be signed for the vaccine to be administered, which outlined the process of being immunized, requiring two doses, 21 days apart.
