The publication promoting the company’s job offer for “collective protection of rights” was removed and later replaced by a new version that did not mention the columnists.

“I’m hiring criteria now!” Mathieu Bock-Côté (MBC) joked by posting a screenshot of the news on his Twitter account.

According to information collected on its website, the SPE organization was formed in 1986 with the aim of achieving greater social justice to promote and protect the economic, social and cultural interests of the people of Estri.

unions and students

The list of membership groups is mainly made up of trade union and student unions and community groups in Estrie.

Initially, Mathieu Boc-Cot believed that the SPE was a voluntary association formed by “a few cranks” before realizing that there were radical organizations behind it.

“We need to ask whether each of these organizations supports these ideas,” he said.

Richard Martino, for his part, is concerned that getting a job depends on a candidate’s loyalty or opinions. For him, it’s like going back to the 50s.

“If you’re a communist, you’re barred from certain jobs, and you can’t hire certain columnists if you like them.

I don’t know that governments will be too happy to fund these kinds of companies,” Martino concludes.
