Montreal: Muslim teachers lose licenses for trying to introduce ‘Islamist religious concepts into a public school’

May 15, 2026 11:00 am By Robert Spencer9 Comments

Quebec Premier François Legault said back in October 2024: “There is something very disturbing in this case. It is this attempt by a group of teachers to introduce Islamist religious concepts into a public school. In Quebec, we decided a long time ago to remove religion from public schools. We will never accept going back.”

In today’s far-left Canada, it’s astounding that these teachers had their licenses revoked. One would have expected their Islamic curriculum to become mandatory in all Canadian schools.

All 11 teachers accused of creating toxic climate at Montreal school

have their licences revoked

by Cassandra Yanez-Leyton, CBC News, May 12, 2026:

All 11 teachers who were suspended in 2024 after being accused of fostering a toxic climate at a Montreal elementary school have had their licences revoked, according to the office of Quebec’s education minister.

Confirmation of the 11 licences being revoked came on the same day the Education Ministry made public a final report into the situation at Bedford elementary school.

The revocation of the licences is the latest development in a saga that reignited the debate around secularism in the province and raised concerns about religious indoctrination in Quebec schools.

Reporting by 98.5 FM’s Valérie Lebeuf followed by a government report released in June 2024 showed the teachers at the school — which is located in the city’s Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood — weren’t teaching subjects such as sex education or science and technology comprehensively….

The Bedford controversy motivated the Coalition Avenir Québec government to strengthen its secularism policies. This ultimately led to the government extending the religious symbols ban to all school staff who interact with students as well as daycare workers and establishing limits on public prayer.

In a brief statement to CBC News, the office for the education minister said the decision to revoke the 11 licences was made because of the findings of the 2024 investigation.

Bedford under watch

Bedford elementary school was placed under watch in the fall of 2024, a few months after the ministry’s investigation.

Reporting from 98.5 FM painted the picture of two groups — one mainly composed of people of North African origin — clashing with each other.

The ministry’s investigation specified, however, that the situation was not as clear-cut, and that there were teachers of North African origin in both groups….

Canada: Pro-Migration Politician Loses Election to Bangladeshi Muslim Pizzeria Owner

Mass migration replaces proponent of mass migration.

More open borders politicians ought to be taking a lesson from the fate of Nate Erskine-Smith. Until last year, Erskine-Smith had served as the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities in the radical leftist Canadian government. That meant lots of welfare and mass migration.

Now he just lost an election to Ahsanul Hafiz: a Bangladeshi pizzeria owner.

Really, Erskine-Smith had defeated himself and had no shot against such ‘diverse’ competition.

After a full day of ranked ballot voting to select the riding’s Liberal candidate in the upcoming provincial byelection, Hafiz emerged victorious with 718 votes, followed by Beaches-East York Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith with 699 votes by the third ballot of the ranked count. Other candidates seeking nomination were Qadira Jackson and Mahmuda Nasrin.

He lost by only 19 votes. But the bloc vote is tough to beat.

During his opening speech, Hafiz said it was important for voters to elect a leader who understands the hardships of Scarborough Southwest residents, noting that certain opportunities “do not exist” to the same extent for immigrants.

Uh-huh.

Erskine-Smith is blaming voter fraud which is no doubt true.

Following the results of today’s nomination race, Erskine Smith told reporters in a scrum in the parking lot that he needs to “debrief” with his team before speaking out about the outcome, suggesting the results may have been inaccurate.

“At one table, it was 50 per cent of the people that had ID issues, saying they lost driver’s licenses and that they lived in the area, so I don’t know,” Erskine-Smith said. “It’s unfair for me to specifically speculate.”

Unfair indeed. If Erskine-Smith had been serious about checking IDs at the border, he wouldn’t have been replaced by the people who invaded Canada. By the time they’re inside and at the voting booth, it’s much too late.

Here’s old ES talking about the “economics of Canadian immigration” to a guest who argued for, “strong but smartly managed immigration to ensure Canada’s economy remains competitive and resilient in the long-term”.

Now he just got a lesson in the political economics of mass migration. And Canadians won’t be competitive or resilient. Just replaced.

Prayer rooms causing tensions in Quebec colleges, new government report says

Prayer rooms, political student groups and controversial course content are fuelling a climate of tension and mistrust at two of Quebec’s junior colleges, according to a new government report.

The report, published Friday by Quebec’s Education Department, says prayer rooms can foster radicalization and divisions between students. It also questions whether the rooms even belong in public colleges.

This is among a range of issues highlighted in the report, from the sale of kaffiyehs on campus to language classes focused on Palestinian culture, which it says are causing strain among students and teachers.

“We absolutely have to find a way to return to a healthy climate,” said Higher Education Minister Pascale Déry in an interview. “Because a climate of tension and a climate of mistrust has reigned in these two establishments for several months.”

The 71-page document is the result of a months-long investigation at Dawson and Vanier colleges, two English-language junior colleges in Montreal. It was launched last November following complaints that tensions around the Israel-Hamas war had created an unsafe atmosphere on campus.

The report recommends that the government adopt a new law to regulate academic freedom in the college system. It also says the province should ensure its secularism rules are fully respected.

Déry did not say how the government will respond to the report, or whether it will ban prayer rooms in junior colleges. The Coalition Avenir Québec government has already barred public schools from making space available for students to pray.

“Respect for the principles of secularism is non-negotiable,” Déry said. She pointed to a line in the report that describes how a prayer room for Muslim students at Vanier College has a dividing curtain so that women and men don’t pray together.

“For us, it is not normal that within a public organization, we separate men and women,” Déry said.

The report focuses heavily on pro-Palestinian student groups and activities, and says colleges lack the power to intervene when the actions of student clubs run counter to the institutions’ values.

It notes that kaffiyehs are sold weekly at Dawson, and that a Palestinian student group at Vanier promotes wearing the scarves, which symbolize solidarity with Palestinians.

“It is clear from the testimonies heard that this activity creates tensions, as opinions diverge on this cause,” the report says. It found that pro-Palestinian student groups at both colleges are violating their own constitutions, which say they must not be political.

The investigation also found that the principle of academic freedom is not applied uniformly across the college system, which it says can cause “tensions and friction” between teachers.

It says the selection of guest speakers and topics for symposiums can often be controversial, leading to suspicion and the formation of cliques among teachers.

It also says students raised concerns about two classes at Dawson and Vanier that focused on Palestinian culture, despite being billed as language classes. At Vanier last winter, an English class on contemporary fiction was replaced at the last minute with a course on Palestinian short stories.

Opposition parties and academic unions accused Déry of political interference after she asked Dawson last year to evaluate a French literature course focused on Palestinian culture. On Friday, she defended that decision.

“I’m doing my job,” she said. “I ask questions. I’m going to continue to ask questions if I need to ask questions.”

The report found that colleges have little control over course content. “Academic freedom does not justify activism or the promotion of ideologies in any form,” it says.

New bill will require newcomers to Quebec to adopt ‘common culture,’ minister says

Quebec’s immigration minister says newcomers to the province need to embrace the “common culture” to avoid ghettoization.

The Quebec government will table a new bill on the integration of immigrants on Thursday, which will require newcomers to adhere to Quebec values like gender equality and secularism.

Immigration Minister Jean-François Roberge told reporters today that Canada has never defined its own common culture, and the Canadian model of multiculturalism doesn’t work for Quebec.

Does it work anywhere in Canada?

Roberge says there will be mechanisms in the law to ensure its principles are followed, but offered no details.

He says he wants immigrants to attend Quebec shows, films and celebrations and to mix with people outside their own communities.

Roberge says the bill is in line with his government’s previous Quebec identity-related legislation, including the secularism law and the language reform.

Disturbing story of Quebec man's poor medical care leading to Medically Assisted Suicide

 

Sin is progressive! Once you open a door to evil, even though it seems good, things will just get worse and worse. Canada's MAiD, Medical Assistance in Death policy is an example. Off to a cautious and almost reasonable start when first introduced by woke elites, it has taken steps every year to make it more accessible to more people. Now they want people to be able to decide well in advance of meeting the requirements. 

In this case, a man's poor medical care left him in so much agony, he chose to end his life in order to end the pain.

Quadriplegic man’s MAID death from bedsore 

results in public inquiry being ordered

Quebec’s chief coroner has ordered a public inquiry into the medically assisted death of a quadriplegic man after he developed a severe bedsore during a hospital stay.

The decision announced Tuesday comes after Quebec’s public security minister demanded an investigation into Normand Meunier’s death.

The 66-year-old man was admitted to a hospital in Saint-Jérôme, just north of Montreal, last January. He was being treated for a respiratory illness.

During his hospital stay, Meunier developed a major pressure sore on his buttocks. Moelle épinière et motricité Québec, a group that advocates for people with spinal cord injuries and improved mobility, said the sore exposed muscle around Meunier’s tailbone.

In late March, he received medical assistance in dying to put an end to his suffering.

“It was not his choice. He asked for medical assisted to death as a result of no choice and lack of care,” said Ariane Gauthier-Tremblay, a social worker with the advocacy group.

“We want to make it very clear.”

Meunier’s death sent shock waves through Quebec, with members of opposition parties describing Meunier’s death as a “true shame” for the province.

An internal investigation was launched by the local public health authority that oversees the hospital, but calls grew for a separate, independent probe. Health Minister Christian Dubé has also announced an investigation into Meunier’s death.

Meunier’s wife told Radio-Canada she had said to hospital staff that Meunier needed a special mattress to avoid bedsores, but that he spent four days on an emergency room stretcher without one.

Sylvie Brosseau spoke publicly about her husband’s death in May, saying she would continue to fight and that she didn’t want Meunier to have died “in vain.”

“There are other people who are very unwell in hospitals at the moment,” Brosseau said at the time, adding they must receive proper care.

Quebec Coroner Dave Kimpton will oversee the inquiry, which will include public hearings from interested parties.

The inquiry will look into the circumstances surrounding Meunier’s case and make recommendations as to prevent similar deaths. The dates have not yet been set.

The decision to hold a public inquiry comes as a relief for both Meunier’s family and Moelle épinière et motricité Québec. Gauthier-Tremblay hopes it will help prevent similar situations.

“We want physically disabled people to be confident when they go to the hospital and we want them to have specific care that respects their spinal cord injuries. We want them to be safe and healed when they go to the hospital,” Gauthier-Tremblay said.

The regional health authority in charge of the hospital confirmed its own investigation is ongoing and it will cooperate with the coroner’s inquiry.

Islam in Quebec > Muslim employee goes berserk and threatens restaurant customers

 

Muslims, even so-called 'moderate' Muslims, are easily provoked into Islamic hysteria. Such things as the incident below happen multiple times every day in France. And they will increase in frequency in Canada as we invite more Muslims into the country with no requirements from them to leave their bloodthirsty, dark-age, religious madness behind.

Quebec: Knife-wielding Muslim migrant gets three charges

of attempted murder for attack in restaurant where he works

JAN 11, 2024 9:30 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER

When Ahmed May was hired at La Belle et La Bœuf, his employers no doubt assumed that he was a “moderate” and were pleased with themselves for their commitment to “diversity.” Then he rewarded them for their kindness to him by attempting to make good on the Qur’an’s exhortation to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5).

After armed attack, the restaurant La Belle et la Boeuf reopens today

translated from “Après l’agression armée, le restaurant La Belle et la Boeuf rouvre aujourd’hui,” by Alexandra Duchaine, Radio-Canada, January 3, 2024:

Two weeks after the knife attack committed by an employee, the restaurant La Belle et La Bœuf on Boulevard Talbot, in the borough of Chicoutimi, will reopen its doors on Thursday.

The establishment, located a few steps from the Place du realm shopping center, made the announcement on Facebook. “We have spent the last two weeks regaining our strength. With the help of CAVAC (Crime Victim Assistance Center), we have offered and continue to offer all the necessary support to our entire team,” we can read in the publication….

“From that moment we have been shaken, whether we were present on site during the event or even if we were absent, thinking about what could have happened and imagining a scenario, it can really provoke different reactions and consequences,” explains Nathalie Turcotte….

On December 20, an employee of La Belle et la Bœuf allegedly pointed a knife at people who were at the restaurant. Following the event, two people were taken to hospital for physical injuries and a third for psychological shock.

Ahmed May, a Tunisian national who has his permanent residence in Canada, appeared in court the day after the incident. He faces three counts of attempted murder.

Added to this are two charges related to his arrest. He is accused of obstructing and resisting police officers, in addition to assaulting two officers.

Other charges could also be brought against the man.

Ahmed May has been detained since December 20. The investigation for his release is scheduled for January 12.
