Quebec university tuition to almost double for out-of-province students; Rachel Maddow on fascist history in the U.S.; Margaret Evans in the Middle East; and B.C. cracks down on short-term rentals
1:14:30
The Quebec government plans to almost double tuition fees for university students who come from outside the province — a move that Liberal Party of Quebec member Antoine Dionne Charest says is based on “political rhetoric” and could dissuade students from coming. But Quebec's Minister of Higher Education Pascale Déry says anglophone students are still welcome and her province’s universities are still competitive even with higher fees.
Then, in her new book Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism, Rachel Maddow looks at attempts to bring Nazi-inspired fascism to the U.S. in the 1930s. She tells Matt Galloway about listening to the echoes of history and what happens when stories from the past get buried.
Plus, the CBC's Margaret Evans joins us from Jerusalem to discuss the latest in Israel’s war with Hamas, efforts to get humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza, and what to expect when U.S. President Joe Biden visits the region.
And B.C. is tightening rules on short-term rentals like Airbnb, in a bid to make more places available for long-term housing. Will the threat of hefty fines make it easier to find somewhere to live?
