Past articles by Monique:

Editorial: Saving Bixi paid off

The Bixi service has survived what can only be described as an extremely challenging period, and city administrators can be proud of their decision to save it. → Read More

Editorial: Concordia gets it right

Concordia is taking steps to make the university a safer and more respectful environment, improving education and awareness while also making it easier for members of the university community to report misconduct. → Read More

Editorial: Restoring a gazebo shouldn't take four years

The city of Montreal has made an embarrassing mess of what should have been a simple project. → Read More

Editorial: Drug coverage should be fair to patients

Quebec is hardly the only provincial government facing financial constraints, but there is evidence this province has been particularly remiss when it comes to ensuring adequate and fair drug coverage. → Read More

Editorial: A safe space for those seeking abortions

There is now ample legal precedent to support a law that would create "buffer" zones around abortion providers across Quebec. → Read More

Editorial: Uber and the future of Montreal's taxi industry

UberX has upset the status quo, but it has also provided an opportunity for industry reform that could benefit both drivers and passengers. → Read More

Editorial: Quebec's hate speech bill is problematic

Bill 59's lack of clarity and a potentially low burden of proof may open the door to all manner of abuses which, in turn, could have a chilling effect on open discourse in Quebec. → Read More

Editorial: Body cameras on police are a good idea, in theory

This technology has the potential to improve policing in the province, but clear legal and ethical guidelines must be in place before the cameras start rolling. → Read More

Editorial: Signs and the language of courtesy

Updating the language law to add French descriptions to trademarked names is the appropriate thing to do, out of respect for the sensitivities of Quebec's francophone majority. But courtesy works both ways, and merchants should voluntarily put more English on signs, particularly in areas with large anglophone populations. → Read More

Editorial: No need for a law on police pants

What's needed here isn't a new law. It's a measure of common sense. → Read More

Editorial: Senate reform, not abolition, is the answer

The Senate's leadership has, thus far, seemed reluctant to implement Ferguson's recommendations. But profound change is vital if they hope to regain the confidence of a thoroughly disgusted public. → Read More

Editorial: Ban on face coverings could undermine deradicalization efforts

Telling people what they can wear was wrong in 2010. It was wrong in 2013. And it's wrong now. It seems the biggest threat to state neutrality on religious matters is the state itself. → Read More

Editorial: G7 pledge on decarbonization sets ambitious targets, but we need more action

Prime Minister Stephen Harper won't be around to see whether the decarbonization goal is reached, and neither will the vast majority of Canadians hearing about it now. But in order for his successors to have any hope of delivering on Canada's pledge, the prime minister and his government must waste no time in laying the groundwork. → Read More

Editorial: Improving animal welfare will require more than updated laws

Giving a dog more rights than a sofa-bed is useless if those rights are not respected. → Read More

Editorial: Supervised drug-injection sites increase safety

It's time to move forward with supervised injection sites and provide a needed service to a highly vulnerable population — with or without Ottawa's approval. → Read More

Editorial: Female RCMP officers should not have to face threats from within

One woman bullied out of her job is one too many. Police officers and soldiers face enough danger without having to confront threats from within. → Read More

Editorial: Truth and Reconciliation

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has provided this country with an important roadmap for change. It is in the spirit of co-operation that Canada and First Nations people must now move forward. → Read More

Editorial: Jacques Parizeau's legacy

Jacques Parizeau's legacy will always be a mixed one, but he was instrumental in forging the successful province that Quebec has become. → Read More

Editorial: It's time to do away with provincial 'tampon tax'

The federal government has made the necessary changes to put an end to an outdated and unfair policy. Quebec should follow suit as quickly as possible, and render menstrual products truly tax-free. → Read More

Editorial: Guy Laliberté's Pangéa project is promising, but let's not rush it

The island is an important part of Montreal's urban landscape and is admittedly overdue for a revitalization. Whatever form that revitalization takes, city hall must ensure that it is carefully considered. → Read More
