Pour une éthique de la délibération publique
Ce texte fait partie du cahier spécial L'état du Québec 2024 Le Québec n’est pas à l’abri des diverses forces qui, un peu partout dans le monde, sont en train d’éroder nos institutions et nos moeurs démocratiques. Parmi ces forces, le clivage du débat public est particulièrement inquiétant. Dans cet extrait d’un texte publié dans L’état du Québec 2024, le philosophe Daniel Weinstock présente quelques principes pour élever les débats et assurer notre santé démocratique.

Why Trudeau Abandoned Electoral Reform
It was incontestably part of the Liberal platform in 2015. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau solemnly pledged to change the electoral system so that the next election, presumably in 2019, would be decided by a new way to count votes. The Special Committee on Electoral Reform was created in the spring of 2016, and it delivered its report in December. It proposed two things.
Language Ethics | McGill-Queen’s University Press
An innovative interdisciplinary approach to the political ethics of linguistic diversity. Language is central to political philosophy, yet until now there has been little in the way of a common framework capable of bridging disciplines that share an interest in language, power, and ethics. Studies are predominantly carried out in isolated disciplinary silos - notably linguistics, philosophy, political science, public administration, and education.
Interpreting Modernity | McGill-Queen’s University Press
A comprehensive appraisal of Charles Taylor's philosophical writings by some of the most prominent contemporary philosophers and political theorists. There are few philosophical questions to which Charles Taylor has not devoted his attention. His work has made powerful contributions to our understanding of action, language, and mind.
A Retrospect on Birth Injury Litigation: 2 Decades of Legal Game Changers
Commentary Over the past 20 years, there have been dramatic changes in Pennsylvania—and across the United States—in how birth injury cases are litigated. While tort reform sparked many changes at the state level, other changes have been slow-rolling, and have involved advancements in medical technologies and evolving attitudes of patients, doctors and the public at large. Daniel S.
Rien ne pourrait être plus loin de la vérité
Dans une vidéo qui circule largement sur le web, et qui a été tirée d'une conférence que j'ai prononcée à Berkeley il y a plusieurs années, je fais état d'une stratégie à laquelle des médecins de la ville américaine de Seattle (et subséquemment de plusieurs villes italiennes) se sont livrée afin de tenter de minimiser les effets dévastateurs de l'infibulation pratiquée auprès de jeunes filles par des communautés somaliennes récemment arrivées aux États-Unis.
Why Quebec’s nannyism could go very badly
Opinion: The province isn’t helping young Quebecers by raising the minimum age and banning edibles. It’s depriving itself of a way to protect them November 22, 2019 Quebec has adopted a relatively strict approach to the regulation of cannabis in the areas that fall within its jurisdiction.

Why the legal age for consuming cannabis should be lowered to 16
Adults are able to purchase marijuana and other cannabis products, while adolescents end up suffering the consequences of a prohibitionist regime now targeted at them alone The Quebec government is set to raise the legal age of cannabis consumption from 18 to 21. “It’s dangerous for developing children,” said Premier François Legault last month.

High Time | McGill-Queen’s University Press
Canada will become the first G7 country to legalize cannabis, and the world is watching. The primary concern facing the Liberal government as it seeks to fulfill its 2015 campaign promise to “legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana” is whether it can be done without making the situation worse.
On Israel, Gaza, and double standards
One of the objections that has most often been leveled at critics of the Israeli government’s conduct of its war in Gaza, and of its policies towards the Palestinians more generally, has been that their criticisms are based on insidiously double standards. The Israeli government, according to this objection, is held to standards that no other country is held to. It is according to this view surrounded by enemies, and yet it is expected to act like a choirboy.
Happy Birthday, Bill 101, or How Camille Laurin inadvertently saved Canada
I led a double life in the 1960s and ‘70s, growing up in Snowdon, which was then a largely Anglophone, lower middle-class neighborhood in the Western part of Montreal. We were pretty much the only French-speaking household in the area.
L’ Affaire Potter (again).
As I write these lines, McGill University is reeling from the scrutiny that has been brought to bear upon it in the handling by its upper administration of what has come to be known as the “Potter Affair”. I think we could have come out of this crisis much better that we have done.
Should We Change How We Vote?: Evaluating Canadas Electoral System: Andrew Potter, Daniel Weinstock, Peter Loewen: 9780773550629: Books
When I saw the book “Should We Change How We Vote”, my first thought was that it would be an unbiased, informative review of the issues involved in this challenging question. The lineup of eighteen contributors and three editors, most of whom are university professors, appeared to support my anticipation of a well-rounded discussion. Unfortunately, what I found was a one-sided presentation of why we should maintain the status quo.

After rapid, imposed change, health care discussion needed in Quebec
A doctor prepares to check a patient's blood pressure. Chantelle Kolesnik / Calgary Herald Primary care is at a crossroads in Quebec. Over the past 15 years, there has been a major paradigm shift, with primary care and family medicine delivered through the GMFs (groupes de médicine de famille) being recognized as the foundation of our health-care system.
Un jugement à la portée relative
On comprendra cependant que les médecins du Québec fassent preuve de prudence, d’autant plus que quelques petites semaines seulement séparent la date d’entrée en vigueur prévue de la loi québécoise et l’expiration du délai accordé par la Cour suprême au gouvernement fédéral. L’arrêt Carter, de son côté, entrevoit l’application de l’aide médicale à mourir à une plus vaste gamme de cas.
What Did Loyola Really Decide?
My first serious engagement in public policy matters occurred in 1997 when I was asked to join the Groupe de travail sur la place de la religion à l’école publique du Québec. Our mandate was to reflect on the place that religious teaching should have in Quebec’s public schools. Quebec was already in the process of eliminating religious school boards, but that administrative measure left untouched the content of religious teaching in Quebec’s public schools.
In the wake of Jian Ghomeshi and #beenrapedneverreported: How do we move forward?
One of the most remarkable aspects of the sordid Jian Ghomeshi story has been the ensuing explosion of women’s voices recounting episodes of sexual violence that have gone unreported. #beenrapedneverreported, a hashtag launched by my friend Sue Montgomery of the Montreal Gazette and Antonia Zerbisias of the Toronto Star, has become a sad but necessary global phenomenon. Thousands of women from around the world have used the hashtag to share painful memories sometimes buried decades in the past.
