## Resource

A Quebec judge has ordered Élections Québec to prepare bilingual voter information cards in both French and English for the October 5 election, granting a 10-day temporary exemption from language laws to ensure anglophone seniors and voters can access critical voting details. The court sided with Geoffrey Chambers, who argued that sending materials only in French would disenfranchise many English-speaking citizens. While mailing won’t happen within the deadline, the cards will be ready — but a separate legal step is needed to send them out. This ruling underscores the delicate balance between linguistic rights and democratic participation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
