MONTREAL Alongside the Atikamekw Nation, the Quebec College of Physicians recognizes Joyce s Principle to curb systemic racism in the health and social services network The Quebec College of Physicians joins its voice to those of the Conseil des Atikamekw de Manawan and the Conseil de la Nation Atikamekw, so that Joyce s Principle receives the recognition it deserves, ensuring that the tragic death of Joyce Echaquan, on September 28, 2020 at the Joliette Hospital, is not in vain. Ms. Echaquan s fate has shocked the people of Quebec. These sad events bear witness to an evil that is still all too present in our society, that of the inequities caused by cultural barriers fuelled by prejudice that Indigenous people, and more broadly, many racialized people, suffer.

The premier also announced that students in Grades 9, 10 and 11 in orange zones will be back in classrooms full time, as of March 22.
Legault said a close look at the statistics indicates that cases did go up slightly during the March school break, a rise that was offset by the effects of vaccinations, he said.
He said within weeks, Quebec expects the majority of infections will be the U.K. variant, which is more transmissible. That means there’s a risk of a “third wave,” Legault added.
The Quebec government also announced a change in its vaccination strategy.
“People with a physical disability, an intellectual disability or an autism spectrum disorder and living in ressources intermédiaires et de type familial may be vaccinated as a priority,” the government said in a press release. “The same goes for people with severe disabilities, who will (be vaccinated) at home.”
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, co-spokesman of the far-left socialist party Quebec Solidaire (Solidarity Quebec), made this suggestion in a Facebook post written in French from late January. He has served as his party’s spokesperson and as a member of Quebec’s parliament, the National Assembly, since 2017.
Nadeau-Dubois expressed outrage when he was able to get an appointment to get a “Brazilian butt augmentation” from a private clinic within days after calling, while intensive care units in public hospitals all across the French-speaking province are supposedly overwhelmed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The politician’s office reportedly called several private clinics. In every single one, he was offered appointments within days. In one large private clinic within the Montreal metropolitan area, he was even assured that it would use its own surgical room for the operation.
