“If we look at who is targeted by the law, who wears religious symbols, it’s visible minorities, so it’s a racist law,”...

Following the tabling of Quebec's democratic reform bill Alex Tyrrell held a press conference in front of the National Assembly which was briefly obstructed by special constables. The bill tabled is electoral reform but unfortunately it is not proportional representation.
