Episode Notes A group of Quebecers on social assistance and their supporters gathered on Thursday, August 31 to protest the 2015 law that prevents people receiving social assistance from leaving the province for more than a week at a time, with a cap of 15 days per month. Campaign members say the Quebec rules are among the strictest in Canada – and they’re taking a toll on welfare recipients in the province.
