Description

Elias Makos is joined by Victor Henriquez, Public affairs and crisis management specialist at Public Strategy and Conseil, and Sue Smith, a Montreal journalist and broadcaster.

  • After a smooth launch of the Deux-Montages branch over the weekend and into the work week, parts of the REM network are down after a truck struck a viaduct near the Bois-Franc station. Is the REM cursed?
  • Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority Liberal government narrowly survived its third confidence vote in as many weeks last night.
  • After Ontario and New Brunswick, it’s reportedly Manitoba’s turn to try and poach Quebec doctors out of the province.
  • Speaking of doctors, they had a good time sharing a photo of Health Minister Christian Dubé taking a flight to Florida just before the weekend.
  • A new study out of Dalhousie University's Agri-Food Analytical Sciences Laboratory says Quebecers still do not understand the “best before” labeling on food.
