response to the charter of values


On September 17th 2013 the Quebec government established the charter of values. this proposal makes it mandatory for any public servant wearing a religious symbol while working.the charter has cause a large up-roar of protests and worst of  all the majority of racists in Quebec feel that the government is now on their side, so as a side effect there is a relentless amount of racism targeting ethnicity and their establishments and even the people themselves are at risk of verbal degradation.

in response to this charter of values, lake ridge health center , a leading general hospital in the greater Toronto area has released a pamphlet featuring a woman wearing a hijab and a standard doctors uniform. the pamphlet read "We don't care what's on your head,  we care what's in it." due to the fact that in Montreal itself  we have the Jewish general hospital the lake ridge health center is likely to be taking in the majority of doctors who don't agree with the charter and what it imposes on public servants in Montreal.

Although its  mostly the people who need to change,  many religious symbols are being removed including the catholic cross from parliament and many other religious symbols. the outraged communities are  in a way revolting against the pq legislation by mass protests , noise protests, picketing , and public speaking.

personally this whole conundrum reminds me of many things like the riots brought about by the treyvon martin case and many of the riots and protests in  many fights for equality in our history  be it the fight to abolish slavery , the million man march and the fight for equality for women. all of our history is doomed to repeat itself , lest we learn from it.

episode 2 Canada's people

this entire video reminded me of the movie avatar and how we invaded a new land to steal their resources  to further our economy and in doing so we displaced native populations and it became a violent war for the land. All of the land was destroyed by the war and most of the peoples were dead. be it the vikings the europeans or the spaniards we have destroyed most of this planet's roots if not entirely. we are a savage species and i believe that as long as we are here the planet will suffer.

this video made me think of what the vikings did, raiding towns and villages raping and pillaging. the worst part of all of this was that the Europeans still considered themselves civilized and the people they were pillaging un-civilized and somehow in their bad sense of judgement thought that this justified  all that they did to the new nations of the new world.

the faith of the europeans suprises me simply because in most countries  religion has dissapeared form parliment and government institutions. quebec itself is called a post- christian society because of today's banning of religious symbols.

this video made me think of  the natives and how when the English struggled with disease they helped but when the natives were sick they were  isolated and killed.this attitude of only willing to help themselves and not others unless it benefits them.this attitude still exists today in both america and Canada and also materialism as a mentality has become a nuisance.

what comes to mind when i think about the video i just watched was that i was born in a time where society is decaying and im too late to explore the world and too early to explore the galaxy. the majority of people alive today will not even see the firs martian colony estimated to be in existence in around 2100. we as a people in this day and age have a duty to develop technologies and not destroy ourselves in the process ... the odds of this are very slim.

the only thing i can think of after watching this segment was  that  torture has evolvedd over a long time, be it the sick and twisted devices of the middle ages  or roman empire  or even in modern society. to me in some way  bullying is somewhat like a psychological torture in which the victim is constantly bombarded by teasing or often time physical assault and threats, until the point of suicide or an outburst that can affect multiple people by creating more and more victims. the native Americans had honor when they tortured and were tortured but nowadays  honor doesn't even come into play in politics but only certain sports and activities like martial arts.
