If CTV Montreal hires someone to replace Karwatsky, he (or she) will be Mutsumi Takahashi’s fifth co-anchor, after Bill Haugland, Brian Britt, Todd van der Heyden and Karwatsky. (Though since the launch of the 5pm newscast, there hasn’t been much actual co-anchoring.)
I went through the list of potential replacements for Paul Karwatsky, and came up with seven names off the top of my head.
Je vois plein de discussion de ce reportage. Certains voient une attaque contre Le Devoir. Ou une trahison contre le mouvement « Moi aussi ». Ou une preuve que ce mouvement va trop loin contre les hommes. Ou une preuve du "cancel culture." Permettez-moi quelques nuances...
Parce que c'est ça, la nuance. C'est inconvénient. Ce n'est pas bonne comme arme rhétorique, la nuance. Pas une preuve ni une contre-preuve. Ça déradicalise les propos.
Isabelle Hachey est très claire: Elle ne veut « pas d’absoudre Julien Lacroix, ni de se demander s’il serait temps pour lui de remonter sur les planches ». Elle ne veut non plus « remettre en cause la démarche journalistique adoptée par les médias, dont Le Devoir »
Today’s update. An even 600 new cases. Hospitalizations have now more than tripled in the past month and are up 30% in the past week.

Quebec has been registering out-of-province vaccinations since May, but with vaccine passports becoming a thing, the number of doses registered has almost doubled in the past two weeks. It’s now 125,891 (1st+2nd doses).
Today’s update. A double-digit increase in hospitalizations. There are now twice as many in hospital as three weeks ago.
Yesterday, there were fewer than 15,000 vaccine doses administered for the first time since February, and fewer than 10,000 second doses for the first time since May.
18-29 and 30-39 are the only age groups left where at least 85% of the population doesn’t have at least one dose of vaccine.
Today’s update. Relatively good news, with under 700 new cases, active cases dropping again and only 5 new deaths (lowest net increase since Oct. 3).
Another 31,000+ vaccines administered yesterday, setting another new high. Quebec has passed 8% of the population given at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The number of new variant cases in Quebec has decreased for the third straight day.
