To rent in Ottawa or Gatineau? Here's what you need to know - Ottawa Citizen

A Louer - apartment for rent in Gatineau. Wayne Cuddington / Postmedia So you're moving to the National Capital Region, or you're an Ottawa resident looking for a new rental unit. You've got a job in Ottawa, but you've heard it's cheaper to rent across the bridge in Gatineau, and the numbers seem to reflect that when you poke around on rental listing websites.According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's 2017 rental market reports for Ottawa-Gatineau, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment was $782 on the Quebec side of the river. That's a full $450 cheaper than the Ontario side, where the average two-bedroom apartment rent was $1,232.RelatedOn the surface, it might seem like a no-brainer. And census data complied by Jack Jedwab, director of the non-profit Association for Canadian Studies, show that many people do elect to live in Gatineau and work in Ottawa. He calls them "Quentarians."One-third of Gatineau residents commute to a different pr...

Quebec doesn't have a problem with Islamophobia, Premier Legault says - CBC News

Geneviève Guilbault, said the government would look into the idea. "We looked at it. There won't be one. It's clear," Legault told reporters Thursday at a caucus meeting in Gatineau."I don't think there is Islamophobia in Quebec, so I don't see why there would be a day dedicated to Islamophobia." Later, Legault's team clarified his answer, saying there have been incidents in the past, but the problem is not widespread.The Coalition Avenir Québec government says it does not want to give the impression that Islamophobia is systemic in Quebec.Six Muslim men were shot and killed and five more were seriously injured in the attack on the mosque during prayers on Jan. 29, 2017.The idea of making the anniversary a day against Islamophobia has been put forward by Muslim groups, including the National Council of Canadian Muslims.The organization's executive director, Ihsaan Gardee, has said such a designation would help enhance public education about hate, bigotry and anti-Muslim rhetoric.'Unbelievable and deeply hurtful'Gardee said he was shocked by Legault's comments, and pointed out that up to two-thirds of hate crimes go unreported."So what we know is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg," he said. "And for the premier to say make this kind of a statement is just unbelievable and deeply hurtful."Statistics Canada reported last November that the number of hate crimes reported to the police rose...
