Secularism and obscurantism Receive the last hour alerts of duty
I found it long.Two years, before opponents of the law on the secularism of the state put a name, a face, a story on their arguments.It was written: as soon as a case would be identified by which he could make a famous cause, the Empire of Canadian well-thought was going to leap with all the vigor conferred by the moral superiority complex that lives in Toronto scribes, Liberal elected officialsand neodemocrats and, now openly, English -speaking deputies.Their arguments are heavy.We must fight and eradicate this law, they say, because it contradicts the very heart of Canadian identity, because it calls into question decency, equality, inclusion.She stinks racism and xenophobia.She is, to take up the word of Minister Marc Miller, personal friend of Justin Trudeau: coward.
The time has come to respond without inhibition about Quebec law.She is a feminist, anti-discriminatory and avant-garde.It is part of a multi -year -old fight for lights and against obscurantism.She is exemplary and courageous.
A feminist law.Great religions are all fundamentally misogynist and opposed to equality between men and women.The law on secularism ensures that the State will now refuse, for its employees in a position of authority, to endorse and normalize the symbols of these religions.While our public policies are engaged in a great effort to access equality for women, employment, decision -making posts, in the filing of complaints against their attackers, in promoting the taking ofAudacity and risk in business and politics, it is unacceptable that state agents carry symbols expressly intended to report the modesty and submission of women.
Proudly assuming, by the prohibition of this misogynistic display, that the state condemns the concepts of modesty and submission for women is also a service to be rendered to all the women of Quebec who undergo a retrograde religious and family influence and who tryto extract.
An anti -discriminatory law.She is two ways.First, it puts all the convictions on an equal footing.Before her, it was prohibited for an employee in authority to display with macaroons or clothes his political, social, even ecological convictions, therefore anchored in logic and science, but allowed to display his religious convictions, based onmythical stories and dogmas whose historical and scientific falsity can easily be demonstrated.The law puts an end to this unacceptable discrimination.Then it establishes equality in time for religious display.Colossal social pressure has led Quebec Catholic religious to no longer carry their cornettes, their Roman passes and their ostentatious crosses in the public service in the 1960s and 1970s.A more diversified immigration on the one hand and the rise of rigorous currents within Islam on the other hand led to the reintroduction of religious display in the Quebec state for 20 years.The law on secularism restores equality before a unique standard by applied, legally, to all which had so far been imposed, socially, only on Christians.
Okay but how to stop thinking about sex?So Thirsty TODAY

A avant-garde law.It is clear that the Quebec experience in the face of religion is singular in North America.Nowhere else, the religious has slowed down the development of a people.Prohibition of the opening of bookstores and indexes of new ideas, refusal to extend secondary education out of their control (until 1964), discouragement of business spirit, except agricultural, diversion toThe clergy of the brightest young people of each family, rather than towards science or industry, repeated calls for submission to powerful, without counting the sexual abuse perpetrated by a part of the male clergy and, we learn, feminine,on Quebecers and natives.Faster and more firmly than in the rest of America, Quebecers individually and collectively declare an increasing independence towards the religious.We see it in our more progressive and earlier positions on abortion, gay marriage, end of life and secularism, which form a continuum.
A courageous law.The Canadian sounder Allan Gregg explained to me one day that, if you treat someone often enough, and publicly, "perverse" simply because he wears black shoes, he will end up not wearing them, even if theaccusation is foolish.The flood of insults falling on Quebec about secularism, as of the language or any affirmation of its identity, would have made many governments bend.It was therefore necessary a real dose of courage, first at the Parti Québécois, then at the CAQ, to stand in the storm.It is therefore, by far, the exact contrary of the cowardice which Marc Miller speaks.
From Guy Rocher to Jolin-Barrette via Bernard Drainville, the supporters of secularism have always shown more respect for their opponents than they received in return.It is that we do not doubt their good faith and their conviction of being on the right side of the story.Keep.Whether they like it or not, they play the game of misogynous forces who want to display within the state of the symbols of submission of women, they advocate discrimination that puts religious convictions, therefore superstitions, aboveAll other convictions, they protect minority, ostentatious religions, to the detriment of others, more respectful of the civil rule, they turn their backs on the growing number of citizens who move away from myths and religious dogmas.Far from participating in lights, equality, the primacy of science and reason, they harm the progress of progress.
It is high time to let them know.
