This charter has also provided stupid people with the permission to express their utter stupidity and target a group of people, namely Muslim women, who are presently being overtly and shamelessly abused on city buses...BY THEM (the stupid people). AND such deplorable behavior is being excused by the dumb stupid trolls on this blog, who feel it is inconsequential because, after all, it was happening before, so No BIG. <br /><br />To add insult to injury, no Apology, NONE, has been forthcoming by the stupid troll student, to Muslim women everywhere for the bigoted abuse they have been subjected to by the stupid racist xenophobic jerks in this province, such as student.<br /><br />It is time to put an end to stupidity, since its excess, here, has become a veritable menace to our well-being.<br /><br />Slam them all in jail, as they are not worthy to live among us civilized people.AnecTOTEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-91433761165359378122013-11-02T22:56:28.104-04:002013-11-02T22:56:28.104-04:00Guys, get real.

I have lived in Quebec my while life (40 years) and have yet to meet someone who does not speak at least a functional level of French. I attended elementary, secondary, CEGEP and University - all in English and all in Quebec, so I have met plenty of Quebec Anglos. Be careful of what you read.

The charter is actually completely un-secular because it makes exceptions for some religious items but not others, the state is actually choosing which religions it more readily supports, by way of completely arbitrary dress code rules. <br /><br />Perhaps if you think it is ironic for political science teachers to not be able to wear clothing in support of their political parties you should be out supporting their right to do so, instead of trying to justify further censorship by the government for a wholly unnecessary cause? Two wrongs don't make a right. thatguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-59107678760339683242013-11-02T21:45:06.213-04:002013-11-02T21:45:06.213-04:00There are still some anglos who don't speak Fr...There are still some anglos who don't speak French. There are still some Italian and Chinese immigrants who speak neither French nor English. Many, many franco Quebecers don't speak English. So what ? And when you combine that with a "the customer is always right" attitude - sparks will fly. But for every nutty anglo there are 6 franco quebecois who will react in the same way in an analogous situation. A statistical probability. And anecdotally, there is lots of evidence of that ratio. Just check out the anglophobia and righteous indignation that is on display every day on the Vigile.net blog. When was the last time you heard about an anglo bus passenger verbally accosting a francophone bus passenger for speaking French on the bus, or on the street, or in a mall ? Or an anglo criticizing a muslim woman because she is wearing a hijab ? <br /><br />Canadian Tire in Kirkland is a small example of the garden variety contact between the two solitudes. Personally, I make a point of speaking French in stores because I like to speak French and I love an opportunity to exercise my vocabulary. But not everyone is the same. Its a free country and some people, anglo and franco, are ignorant, or discourteous - or both - and they like a little confrontation in their otherwise boring lives. I don't give a damn about any of them.<br /><br />I can also tell you from 35 years of experience that when a unilingual anglo entrepreneur or businessman from Ontario, the USA or Montreal finds him or herself in a predominantly French speaking law firm, in Montreal, or Quebec City, or Drummondville trying to get advice on a problem or cut a deal with a unilingual francophone businessman or businesswoman English will be spoken or translated as necessary. The objective is clear communication. No one gets up on a nationalist horse and calls people "Nazis". We do the deal and then we go out for a convivial lunch - in both official languages. That's how we have been doing business together for the last 250 years. Buying a roll of duct tape and then yelling at the cashier because they don't speak English is hardly a good example of doing business in Quebec. And hardly a reason to leave the province. Please, dismount your high horses and try and rejoin the real world.

The claim is that by allowing them to wear religious clothing, the government is somehow sending a religious message. The only message it would be sending is that everyone is welcome to work for the government, regardless of your religious affiliations and that you shouldn't be afraid to display it. <br /><br />"and what rights of the english speaking minority is restricted by bill 101, if this is the law you are refering to?"<br /><br />Basic freedom of expression (sign laws) and education rights. No immigrant from outside Canada is allowed to attend an English language public school, which undermines the existence of the English language public system. Without this system, there is no minority culture. <br /><br />"oh, you missed all the anouncements they did in the last month then. where have you been?"<br /><br />What announcement did they make?Maoist Rebelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-26363962263542706222013-11-02T21:07:08.239-04:002013-11-02T21:07:08.239-04:00FROM ED

Ah so it's fine if religion is present in school so long as no one is making the claim to the children that there is a god and he created the Universe. Yet here we are with people pushing for the banning of teachers wearing hijabs. The irony in all of it is in a PQ charter future a Muslim teacher would not be allowed to wear her hijab but would have to teach students about Islam and hijabs. Talk about focusing on the wrong things, it's completely possible to have a neutral state without taking away peoples rights, yet the government is content to do so and on top of this in an uneven-way.<br /><br />While I am a proponent of the richness of multiculturalism brings, as restricting yourself to only your own culture's language, cuisine, celebrations and entertainment makes for a rather boring life, I do not advocate social engineering coming from either side of the debate and enforced by the government, as it's wholly needlessly restrictive. thatguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-41058933602019043522013-11-02T20:02:52.158-04:002013-11-02T20:02:52.158-04:00@s.r
