Hmmm! High schools closed for remainder of year... elementary schools and daycares are required to open Could it be.... babysitters are needed? What’s behind this message... political party flexing to gain votes? At stake... our kids!

And why not? Please put the safety of our children...and our safety, too...first before your political posturing.

Simple enough to sabotage that. The boards can agree and let the parents organize a refusal.

Good! Get on with it enough is enough!

Like European governments Quebec may avoid economic collapse and understand a switch to egalitarianism of reasonableness instead of pandering to the fear mongers.

jfrobergeQc Throwing women and children in to the fire to see if they will burn. (85% of teachers are women) Shame on Quebec!

These are elected officials. Hope they remember this.

Racist and murderous. Great provincial government there!
