Francis Chartrand for Rivière-des-Mille-Îles

18/05/2009 10:02

I have fantasies of travel these days, but, for whatever reason, I will not go very far this year.

So I taste my thirst for exoticism watching Travel channel and Escape.

Two shows are particularly triper me: No Reservations, with the excellent Anthony Bourdain and Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. These two great gourmands, who eat their mother if they were told that it "tastes good", travel the globe in search of new culinary experiences.

Thanks to them, I went to Bali, Essaouira, in São Paulo, Seoul, Saigon, in Mexico City and a dozen other cities ...

But you know what all these cities have in common? It eats out.

Eating while walking

Across the world, you can buy food on the streets of falafel kebabs, rice, noodles, the Cheese Steak Sandwiches, chestnuts, the quesadillas, pancakes, pork ...

You walk, you see a guy who stand behind a kitchen, you talk with him, you taste a spice, you choose a piece of fish that you fry in a wok, it is your fish in a pita bread and you continue your journey with food.

But in Quebec, no! The only thing we can do is eat the rotten hotdogs during festivals.

Why? The stomach of Quebeckers is more fragile than that of other human beings? Quebecers they die of poisoning if we allowed people to sell food in the street?

The great mixture

Take Montreal.

The main attraction of Montreal is its multiculturalism. This is what distinguishes the city from other municipalities in Quebec.

Imagine how vibrant city if it allowed the food stalls! It would be great.

We discuss with the merchants, tasting all kinds of dishes, all kinds of humerait smells ...

"Try it, sir, it's extraordinary! - What is it?

- A spice of my country, you see, you'll love ... "

What better way to break the walls that separate communities?

The food is the best way to establish a dialogue between cultures. An excellent dish would ultimately prejudice the most tenacious.

You tell me that there restaurants. This is not the same thing. With the stands, it is not you who go to food is food that comes to you.

It takes you by the collar, mesmerizes you, hypnotizes you.

Good fast food

We try to fight against fast food these days. So why not open the door to a fast-food quality, made with fresh food and cooked in front of us in the street?

It would be a lot better than the service driving MacDo, right? I'm sure a pack of people eventually redeem them against a Burger Trio soup tonkinoise ...

As for tourists who visit us, they could enjoy regional specialties from Québec walking on the Dufferin Terrace, on the rue Saint-Paul or on King Street East.

It is very nice, cleanliness, hygiene and sanitation. But force sanitize our cities, we end up killing them.

I do not know about you, but me when I walk in a city, I feel like saffron, curry, coriander and cardamom rather than oil and Mr. Net.

"Just when I think I'm out, they keep pulling me back in!" - Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III

It probably does not admit, but I am sure that Jean Charest has a voodoo doll of Michèle Asselin in his drawer and he furiously plant needles into the body, the evening before going to bed.

Indeed, because of the Fédération des femmes du Quebec, which has felt the need to rule on the wearing of headscarves in public when nobody (not even residents of Hérouxville) spoke of it, the debate on reasonable accommodations that the prime minister had thought dead and buried thanks to the work of the Bouchard-Taylor croquemorts is alive and has Pogni ankle, like Sissy Spacek at the end of Carrie.

THE CIRCUS IS BACK

Premier Charest should be more pleased with this sudden exit of the FFQ that is as comfortable with issues of identity that the former press officer Eric Caire with the French language.

Quite simply, I believe it would deliver a speech of three hours on chlamydia to a class of 2nd year rather than 30 seconds to talk about identity and values in Quebec!

But thanks to the President of the FFQ (which, apparently, did not rate), the revoici immersed in the circus accommodations.

Thank you, Madam Asselin!

WHAT DOES THE COUNCIL OF THE STATUS OF WOMEN?

Jean Charest is probably not the only one to pester against the President of the FFQ. Christine St-Pierre also must want to give her a dog of her dog.

Indeed, after trying to avoid the subject like the plague, the Minister of Women's finally forced to give birth in a position yesterday noon.

The verdict? She ranks alongside the FFQ. This raises an extremely interesting question.

If the minister is doing in the opinion of the Council on the Status of Women, an organization that was established in 1973 to advise the Government of Quebec on all matters concerning women (and, remember, if is decided against wearing the veil in public), how earth is this institution?

And why go over a government agency to support a pressure group? Where is the logic in that?

It is as if the government in a case involving the defense of the french, are madly foutait in the opinion of the Supreme Council of the French language to to side of a pressure group led by Pierre Falardeau and Michel Brûlé!

Hello?

EXCUSATUM

Besides, I do an erratum.

Last week I said that the FFQ had issued an opinion on the Sex in the media in May 2008. However, the Council on the Status of Women has issued this advice!

I deserve a kick in the posterior. However, between the Federation des femmes du Québec, the Conseil du statut de la femme, the Association of Iranian women, the Mothers' Association lesbians, the Center for Women's Health Collective of immigrant women, the Women's Association education and social action and the Institute for Research and feminists, we eventually get lost.

Whereas among boys, it's simple. It is the Friends of the Cage aux sports and that's all ...

Several readers have written in recent days to ask if the Federation des femmes du Quebec was noyautée by Islamist groups.

The word "noyautée" is perhaps a bit much. But one thing is sure, if one relies on what can be read on some discussion groups frequented by followers of Islam, Muslim groups have agreed to be present at the meeting "extraordinary" by the FFQ, the history of tipping the vote of the "good side".

"JOIN THE FFQ"

Djemila Benhabib, the author of my life against the Koran, wrote me to tell me to go visit Mejliss el kalam, a discussion forum frequented by the Muslim community of Montreal.

The messages we read provide extremely interesting insights on what happened on 9 May.

"Hello to everyone," says Samira Laoun, former NDP candidate and member of the Canadian Islamic Congress. I send you this information, I believe, is crucial. "

"It happens that the Fédération des femmes du Québec held on May 9 a special meeting on the wearing of headscarves in public service. If we are not sufficiently well represented, it is possible that the opinion of the FFQ to join the Council on the Status of Women (which was against the wearing of headscarves in public), and we will be forced remove our scarves before crossing the doors of public buildings. "

"What to do? Simple at first, become a member of the FFQ (cost five dollars, you can do on the site of the body). And a second time to attend this meeting to protect our votes."

"Dear friends, our efforts for this cause is very urgent and important. If you have additional questions, please contact me. "

BE DISCRETE!

Not bad, eh?

Wait, you do not see anything. Some fans wondered if sailing was not dangerous to join a feminist group.

"I think it would be extremely unwise to adopt this way of acting, writing Bdeir Leila, group-Muslim presence. Join as a means to assume a majority of its positions. "

"I also think it would be very strategic to become a member of the FFQ only to vote on the wearing of ostentatious religious symbols in public service. Moreover, we should not think that this wave of accession Muslim unnoticed and it does not generate a lot of questions. Above all Muslims and Muslim practitioners themselves are generally largely absent in these types of organizations when it comes to discussions that do not affect their community. "

In other words: do we Ruona not too many at the meeting of the FFQ, as it will be noticed and people will see our game!

Be more discreet ...

Accommodations, ENJOY!

Abu Al-Hammad Hayiti, the famous Imam who made a name for himself recently by multiplying the homophobic statements, has also warned his sisters against this strategy.

"Do you know the FFQ? It is an association of Kufra (unbelievers) established in the Kufra Kufra to defend! "

"Can a Muslim has the right to become a member of an association that promotes gender equality, while it is contrary to the teachings of the Koran? Does a Muslim have the right to join an organization that defends the rights of lesbians? "

"The answer is no!"

And I leave you with this message signed Maléikite, who says out loud what many Islamist thinking to themselves:

"It is impossible that such things (the prohibition of the veil) arrive in Canada / Quebec. Legally, it's impossible ... "

"Canada / Quebec is our model in terms of religious freedom, especially with the legal institution called reasonable accommodation, a real wonder that France should learn ..."

Yesterday, La Presse, journalist Michèle Ouimet says: "The veil is a delicate subject that awakens the old xenophobic background of Quebecers."

We can not be clearer.

You are against the wearing of headscarves in public? You find that the Islamic veil is a sign of oppression of women?

You are xenophobic.

THE SPECTRUM OF RACISM

Forgive me back about a third time in succession, but as a man who has the fate of women at heart (I am the father of two daughters, after all, and I am married to a woman from head), I can not remain silent in the face of such assertions.

I'm tired of seeing the editorialists and columnists raise the specter of racism and xenophobia as soon as it calls into question certain cultural practices and / or religious.

Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen has been threatened with death because she condemns Islam and wearing the veil. She is racist?

Quebecer of Algerian origin Djemilah Benhabib has been threatened with death at the age of 20 because it condemned Islam and wearing the veil. She is racist?

The original Canadian Irshad Manji Uganda is threatened with death because she condemns Islam and wearing the veil. She is racist?

Iranian writer Chahdortt Djavann is threatened with death because she condemns Islam and wearing the veil. She is racist?

The Somali Ayaan Hirsi Ali was threatened with death because she condemns Islam and wearing the veil. She is racist?

All these women are racist, right? They wake up all the old xenophobic background of their people?

THE TRUE COURAGE

There's a limit to shout racism mistakenly and through!

The five women that I have to appoint you risk their lives every day to DEFEND THEIR BELIEFS FEMINISM.

It's even more courageous than anything made by Michèle Asselin, Françoise David during their life, right?

What is the most daring, in your opinion? Take the Islamic world to back and be a fatwa, or advocate for Quebec Solidaire and be interviewed by Jean-Luc Mongrain?

These liberal feminists have shown exemplary courage. Yet the pope of the Fédération des femmes du Quebec have never taken their experiences and testimonies into consideration when they voted to allow the wearing of headscarves in public service.

NEVER.

It is as if these women had experienced anything, say anything, no writing.

Must be done, right?

Tell us that those five women?

That the veil is not a simple piece of cloth, as we repeat the proponents of multiculturalism Gnan-Gnan, but a flag that Islamists planted on the head of women to tell the world: "Look, we're here! And we're getting there! "

The newspapers said that people who consider the Islamic veil as a sign of oppression "awaken the old xenophobia bottom of Quebecers."

But what of our old bottom of naivety, our old background bonasserie?

Ah yes, it's true: we do not need to wake up, that one. Because he never slept.

He is always ready to whip our conscience and condemn us to hell as soon as we dare unfold the back.

And criticize the clergy.

If I rely on the many emails I received yesterday, I am not alone in finding the scandalous decision by the Fédération des femmes du Québec allow the wearing of headscarves in public service.

Several readers have written to tell me they did not recognize any more in this organization Gnan-Gnan who criticizes Madonna but the rug before the extremists who advocate the wearing of headscarves.

Square one

"I lived through the revolution and the emancipation of Quebec society from the yoke of religion, the psychologist wrote to me Louise Champagne. But we are back to square one! This time, it is not Catholicism, but Islamism just crush the women and force them to wear the veil.

"When I look at what is happening now, I think compared to Quebec, which is numbed by the hypnotic rhetoric of tolerance, Quebec Catholic yesteryear breathing democracy and freedom of opinion.

"Having lifted his head as a sign of liberation, I see that evil has returned to haunt religious young women. Where is respect for veterans and our history? Our struggles do they not worth the trouble? How to explain this divergence? "

Let me suggest some answers to the last question.

BOTH FEMINISM

We often speak of feminism. But in fact, there are feminists.

Emancipatory feminism, fun and happy that refuses to see man as an enemy and loudly celebrating female sexuality - branch "wet" represented by such writers as Nancy Friday, Erica Jong, Susie Bright, Simone De Beauvoir and Camille Paglia .

And feminism and dogmatic puritan who deeply hate sexuality and sees any underwear sexy submission tool - branch "dry" represented by authors such as Andrea Dworkin and Catherine Mackinnon, two pure and hard feminists who saw any vaginal sex as rape.

On what branch sits the FFQ? Asking the question is to answer it.

The Puritans

In May 2008, the FFQ has issued an opinion on sex in the media. Have you read?

Do an Internet search and browse the document, it's worth it.

More puritan than that, you wear the veil. Quite simply, some passages seem straight out of the Koran.

Any image a little sexy or suggestive is considered to be porno. The girls want to disguise? Influence of pornography! They like Christina Aguilera? Hypersexualization!

One has the impression that for the clergy in petticoat of the FFQ, there are two types of women: the poor who (scandal!) Want to seduce, and good to dress like the Little Sisters of the Good Shepherd.

This is exactly the language used by the Islamists. Good girls hide and show of modesty.

Others are dragged.

ON BEHALF OF WHOM?

The organization headed by Michèle Asselin called the Fédération des femmes du Québec. But it is not more representative of the views of "women of Quebec'' that the Black Coalition of Quebec is representative of the thinking of" Blacks in Quebec. "

The FFQ does not speak of "women". She speaks on behalf of its members and its leadership, period.

And unfortunately, as we all know that together look.

"The hijab is an Islamic fundamentalist uniform, as were in the past the brown shirt or black-Taslima Nasreen, Bangladeshi writer threatened with death by a fatwa.

This weekend, after an "extraordinary meeting", the Fédération des femmes du Quebec has decided that the state should allow women who work in the Quebec public service to wear the Islamic veil.

Another group which left the mat!

Another association feminist starts crawling before the bearded!

We did not see such a manifestation of female masochism since Joanna Colavecchio decided to go out with Dave Hilton ...

TAKE THE HOLE

The Fédération des femmes du Quebec should change its name to the Fédération des femmes soumises du Québec.

In fact, no, I exaggerate. Members of the FFQ are not subject to 100%. When it comes to protest against Anne-Marie Losique, miniskirts and blouses too turned our guardians of morality do not hesitate to leave their monastery and shout their anger and indignation.

It's just when the time comes to condemn misogyny of other cultures take their hole and bend back.

As soon as the hatred of women waving a foreign passport or speaks with an accent, our emulated by Simone de Beauvoir lose all their resources, their claws and come ronronnent.

"Challenging the Koran"

Instead of writing lengthy manifestos against the dangers of lipstick and g-string, our friends from the FFQ should read My life against the Koran, by Djemila Benhabib.

They come across passages like this:

"Quebec does not have to accommodate Islamism. It must strengthen its plural identity and affirm its commitment to secularism and the rights of women ... "

Or this one:

"Not only the veil is a gender apartheid, but it is a shroud. The veil is forced submission or acceptance of women in a program of oppression ... "

Or this one:

"Secularism is organizing the City by preserving and respecting the neutrality of public action. Do not promote atheism or religious belief, is in my view the content of neutrality. There is something unhealthy to ignore the intrusion of religion in public space, something that does not bode well for the health of democracy ... "

FALSE FEMINISM

Shame on you, ladies of the Federation des femmes du Québec. Shame on you, Michèle Asselin. Shame on you, Françoise David, who press the same thing.

You are not worthy to bear the noble name of "feminist". If you are a feminist, I'm Gloria Steinem!

Last year, when Gérard Bouchard and Charles Taylor have, like you, loosely curved spine to fundamentalism, I published what Michèle Vaniès said, president of the french group Regards de femmes.

I publish it again today to remind readers what TRUE FEMINISM:

"The Islamic veil is not traditional folk dress. It was invented by the proponents of political Islam to show their ability to occupy the spaces and minds.

"It's not a piece of any fabric. Women who refuse to wear whipped, their throats slit, stoned. As soon as the fundamentalists seized power in a country, their first measure is to hide the women ... "

Shame on you!

Saint-Eustache,


April 26 09,


Mister Francis Chartrand


With frankness and honesty that I inform you, on my behalf, Gilles Merlot, a grouping of citizens of Saint-Eustache has taken the lead in organizing a boycott against you, Mr. Francis Chartrand. We prefer that we do not come here, but you have upset many, entering the school, be it 3 years ago or recently.

The boycott will specifically support your department Maxi Saint-Eustache, as well as partnerships in which you are engaged in the public schools of the Commission scolaire de la Seigneurie des Mille-Îles.

We have tried repeatedly to end off your juveniles actions in politics, but in vain, you do to your head. We know that you have obtained several contracts with several schools to hold workshops for information, news, journalism and politics, workshops for social involvement, political and judicial theater workshops and improvisation and recently, workshops medieval role-playing and fantasy.

You presentedyourselfs with the 2006 federal election under the banner of the New Democratic Party in the riding of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles. Shortly after, in the edition of L'Éveil, 13 May 2006 that I have carefully, you are publishing an article saying that the NDP association of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles was against Bill C - 127 which was to raise the age of consent for sexual relations from 14 to 16 years.

In the article, you did mention 2 young students of Polyvalente Deux-Montagnes, every both aged of 15 at the time of publication of the article, while demonstrating a sense of revolt or voluntary detachment face the authority you are appealing: "The sexual consent remains in its own right for many people, a personal decision. The teenager younger than 14 years concludes that the transition between childhood and adolescence, most do not yet possess the maturity required to engage in a such experience. But in fact, after 14 years old they should have the right to practice the experience because, through contact with the education, independence and maturity once evolved, they know what they embark."

"Annie-Joelle Constantin Lortie and Raphaëlle Dubois-Beauchamps, both students at Polyvalente Deux-Montagnes, have the full support of Francis Chartrand, the NDP candidate in the last federal election in Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, which the latter was involved and street worker at the Café de la Paix, Saint-Eustache. He wants to be remembered that inform young people in all honesty and wisdom so that they can flourish in their lives. Raising the age of consent will only launch a message to young people from very authoritarian with a projection as what they are improperly monitored for the remainder of his adolescence and more that some benefit to increasing marginality, already present in our society. He is convinced that young people can manage the issue with responsibility and prefer to benefit young people aware of the hyper-sexualization in the elements of our everyday culture and its cultural products, because there is a plan for the youth of 'today."

You were well written "because there is a plan for the youth of today", because a week later, this article was included in La Presse and Le Journal de Montreal as part of an event in Montreal against the bill, and the following Saturday, May 20 2006, 2 teenage girls, Ms. Constantine-Lortie and Miss Dubois-Beauchamps on your side had declared on air of the Grand Journal de TQS: "We are 15 years old, our breasts and our vaginas, we do whatever we want with." And you had commended the development of their bodies and their sexual development, property acquired and developed over the years, in front of the camera, you, a guy of 23 years old. I was ashamed for you.

Then the months passed, and several other events were held in the Saint-Eustache and Deux-Montagnes, including one in Deux-Montagnes in Olympia Park, where you dared send young show, especially young girls Secondary I to V of the PDM in light attire, from 13 to 17 years, which police Deux-Montagnes told me over the phone. At least you have had the OK from the police to demonstrate. But the girls that you took were cut, my time, very provocative. What message do you send out to voters and for what purpose? Allow even more debauchery in schools? Does it give you more volunteers in the next election by supporting their lawlessness and debauchery?

Then comes the school where the last weekend of August (the first weekend after school starts), 26 and 27 August, when you held another event both Polyvalente Deux-Montagnes that at the Youth Freedom School, where young people have decided to scan in favor of lowering the age of consent for sexual relations from 14 to 13 years, which other sources say it was 12 years or at the beginning of the first secondary cycle.

To the scene to answer questions from journalists following the slippage at the École Liberté-Jeunesse, you said to 4 TV channels: "Today is my hand on a shoulder that I file a generation which is indoctrinated and abused, who lied a false Maternal. Look at them, they know what they do, they know the media, they know their culture, they are not uneducated, and just like me, as intelligent they are, they have Puritanism far in the ass. Exploring sexuality and is practiced at puberty. Not before, not after. So young, to rebellion! Yes, the revolt, the revolution! Yesterday, May 1968, Paris, Brussels, today, August 2006, Deux-Montagnes, Sainte-Marthe!"

And the final nail in June 2007, as in July and August 2006, in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-lac, always at the École Liberté-Jeunesse, a car wash to fund "extracurricular and juveniles activities" was organized by the Young New Democrats, which was attended by boys and girls between 12 and 17 years in swimsuits and sometimes topless. The goal was (and more, you have admitted in local newspapers) to fund youth conferences and a trip for a demonstration against Bill C-127 to Ottawa in July 2007.

The result: more than 400 young Basses-Laurentides aged 12 to 17 years who have shown for two days on Parliament Hill, distributing political pamphlets taste: "Informaction" "Manifestaction" "Agitaction" "Masturbaction" or even "Profanaction", all with young speedoo in bikini, cargo shorts, with bare chest and even lingerie.

Although it has happened in the rule of art and in compliance, the event "for the right to fuck without any authority from the age of 14 or 13 or 12" has been true for a laughing stock in the face of politicians and MPs, and a real shame for us, people of the region of the Basses-Laurentides. In September 2007, Bill C-127 passed by the Parliament: 237 votes for, 16 against.

It is all very well to show a disagreement about policy or the company, it must be assumed as the company, because charity begins at home itself.

The height of your pride is going to deny your fault in the rejection of your application for the federal election of 2008. You announced by the media shortly before Christmas that you had learned the new through the newspapers on Sunday 16 December 2007, while in January, we learned another new, as what you have been replaced against your will, but that you were informed by telephone by the leadership of the NDP in Quebec, November 22.

The version of January is challenged, even by friends and family, since it is impossible for November 22 to December 16, whether you are aware of your foreclosure without you "climb" in the curtains in all media, proud as you are. Your version of 22 November, and that is what I believe is a phone call from the leadership of the NDP in Quebec you saying that you had internal problems to solve various business in the region of Lower Laurentides in public outings incurred by your colleagues, including in your secular statement.

What about the point of your statement secular, your position on reasonable accommodations, 31 January 2007, while you attack the religious fundamentalists all over the place: Christians, Jews and Muslims. However you attack racism: "But after some requests and complaints from ethnic or religious groups, considered by the media and mass as excessive, intrusive and sometimes against the values and achievements of Quebecers, and which sometimes have struck the freedom of certain individuals, including many groups of women, unconnected with the groups in question, the term "reasonable accommodation" has acquired a pejorative connotation often, sometimes threatening to see some legacies of Quebec."

"We must add that since 2006, the term is abused. Thus, several media have described as a measure of reasonable accommodation that the windows of an exercise room where trained women in tee-shirt and shorts, have been frosted at the request of a group Hassidic Jews."

"Other actions more disturbing, as Sainte-Thérèse, where nurses had to wear long sleeves and long pants in the workplace even during heat waves, as demand from a group of Hassidic Jews in Boisbriand."

"Then some people will recall that in September, in some secondary schools the Basses-Laurentides, a tour of various organizations such as Chastity Quebec, and many fundamentalist groups creating the" isolation "of women in the workplace and in family life."

"And finally the case of a secondary school in Lanaudière will be shocked an entire community in the vicinity of Sainte-Julienne, where the school is in a position of "reasonable accommodation" when asked a serious restructuring the dress code of the school after a religious evangelist whom only 2.4% of students are members, in the flatter excuse to keep the "boys of the community" in the right path of chastity away from the Vice the temptation of the flesh pleasure."

"After all these cases listed, why do we have imposed 95% of the secular population to 5% of religious fundamentalists, whatever the religion, some process changes? Like me, many people will not lock up their wife or their daughters in the wardrobe to the whims of some verses of psalms or whatever religious book."

"We must maintain our tolerance for multiculturalism and diversity, and not fall into the trap of racism and fundamentalism. But the religious fundamentalism in Canada has no place."

Let watch two debates chosen by you in 2006 and 2007, youth sexuality and reasonable accommodations, your pride or self-centered, sex life of children and intolerance of the faith of others. But is not this a valid reason to replace you at your candidate? What interest is there to have a candidate who talks about the sex lives of children and intolerance of the faith of others?

While at the previous election, you were talking about wind energy in a wind corridor from Lachute to Saint-Eustache (he spent 2.3 million in government studies), you talk about fighting local poverty, d 'addition of specialist doctors at the Center Hospitalier Saint-Eustache, to repatriate Canadians soldiers in Afghanistan, to counter the Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

What are you doing today? You go into schools as last year in 2008, using public funds to harangue youth organizing medieval role-playing and fantasy with the New Wars and Quests, whereas last year you go into schools to promote the libertinism and intellectual anarchy again and again using the public funds by sending a bill ranging from $ 68 to $ 125 for one hour workshop teaching and extracurricular activities for my children and my nephews and nieces attend these schools.

You support a radical youth in Quebec and Canada. While some died laughing face of the ambition of your goals, you can still do much to damage within the education system, as to the stability of many families in the region.

Asked repeatedly last year about the destructive consequences and impact of your activities, you do adds to the arrogance of your brand: "If you do not want that I interfere in the education of your children, you n 'had to do it yourself because I have to return back to you to redo all my wishes, my advantage, my ambition. With all that made me suffer and what I lost, I've got nothing to lose and I take every opportunity of life to feed my revenge. Nothing escapes me."

Again on 22 February, the RCMP to let you know that you were indicted for 29 counts of incitement to hatred and religious desecration. Last December, you have taken 3 phone on the radio, in response to the rejection of a complaint by a journalist from Montreal to the Canadian Human Rights Commission following the declaration as an imam who kill women, gays and atheists is not a crime.

Like me, you were mad with rage that the Commission is well and truly treated the journalist as racist and insensitive. In interview with Stéphane Gendron, Benoît Dutrizac and Pierre Maisonneuve, you said this: "Listen, you have a guy, for example, of sound mind, fine, nice, lucid, which has all its head, any health mental balance, what is an atheist, believer or practicing (whatever) and who knows when to stop on the question of religion, the worse is next to an atomic bomb or hydrogen, well this guy is less dangerous than crazy religious fanatic with a submachine gun."

Like your fan club (http://francischartrand-independent.blogspot.com/) and (http://atheisme.ca/), I do not see the desecration of religion, but with all that you represent one side and the other in "I would rather be a fucking lumberjack with a beaver hat than being kneeling in front of the Plateau" you say: "I hoped very much that the 72 virgins Allah offered by the 3 martyrs shot that Julie Surprenant Provencher and Cedric are not there, to be sure to not make a blow job" in response to piracy which he suffered.

Later, you have taken a more violent tone: "It made me think when the sister of one of my colleagues saw Ben Musovsky and Kyle Trudel of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce-Lachine, and they do not hindered to treat guests in their own house, of "sals racist" , "sals cons suburban" , "Residents of 450 to exterminate" and even "cursed Quebecois against Sharia" , when did the salissage against me even at the doors of former members of the county."

"We tried to scare Quebecers County Rivière-des-Mille-Îles that they were opposed to Sharia, it would be bad for them. "

"It threatens people in their quiet even in August. And these bastards were traced, Ben Musovsky and Kyle Trudel live at Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Ben is on Monkland while Kyle is on Cavendish."

"Terrorize suburban Quebecers who have worked all their lives of hard work, is the behavior of some New Democrats demagogues kneeling in front of the Plateau, sprinkled a four-five-zero-phobia from Jean Leloup, the select club by Jack Layton and his band of monkeys Islamists, who have guardianship all candidates from the NDP out of Montreal, kneeling before forcibly Yvonne Ridley, a occidentophobe Islamic who conferences which is against our country, against our province, against our cultural heritage, and we must listen, even in Montreal."

"Is there someone willing to take up arms if the pro-life or pro-minorities come to us as the best women in small ads from l'Agence Énergétique du Québec? Because if it ever tries to brainwash in my own living room, I shoot at close range, and too bad if the organizers baveux and anti-Quebec Laoun in Bourassa fags or anti-450 Mulcair in Outremont or lyncheurs of fags Manitoba, it is values, but too bad for those who will be in front of my gun, if I threatened once more in my free peace of homo sapiens square mognon, I draw And I kill."

"Please ignore the words above, they are misogynistic and violent. I was hacked. Hahaha!"

On 25 January on the killings in Belgium: "But finally, when will we understand that a disturbed, it remains disturbed. It is confirmed, the patient in Belgium, had an opening file whose psychiatric 4 times the Crown had asked for a serious réencadrement see internment."

"Well no, must be tolerant of our social deficient, they must be brought into society, we must let them adapt. Here, let it play with your children, he will learn quickly, you see. No, no sir, I assure you it does not re-offend his penis to show to your children, despite the eight rape previously committed by him for 10 years."

"Bullshit, nonsense like this that we are responding in all the NGOs working for the integration of the mentally deficient and social. I grant you, you can not blame these groups to have a little bit of love for our case of "mental health", even me I have compassion for them, and I have always condemned any mental and physical abuse made against them in a psychiatric institute. They are human like us. But we can blame the NGOs, but not widespread, cases of willful blindness, on behalf of integration and tolerance."

"It's beautiful, the diversity of Mr Mrs everyone dancing around the rainbow.

See, still face intolerance ... pedophiles in social reintegration, people in mental health, while you defend access to the "meat" 3 years ago. Things that members of the grouping of citizens of Saint-Eustache do not get, especially when you mention "tolerance of stupidity", while you defend in person 3 years ago that a girl or a boy of 14 years old could have sex, heterosexual or homosexual, with a person ... of 33. Bullshit, nonsense like this that we are responding, when asked what are your beliefs.

Today you are on parole and probation pending your trial. This is unfortunate, but if you had submitted a much better attention and greater wisdom before you do anything with schools and public relations, we would not be made to this degree it dawns on you that a file may Criminal and civil and / or prison.

We are more than a hundred, yes, we have a large impact on benefits to your branch, and we do not want to, but we are parents, and me personally, I have four children 12, 14, 20 and 27 years old and I have 8 nieces and nephews from 2 to 16 years old. They all live in the region of Saint-Eustache, Deux-Montagnes and Ste-Thérèse. I don't want that my children have access to your activities anymore.

On the other hand, we also boycott school activities, extracurricular and educational as you have in the public schools of the Commission scolaire de la Seigneurie des Mille-Îles. We also call to boycott all meetings and rallies all what they are, because we try to educate our children away specimens like you, and we have the support of 2 parents committees.

We will stop the boycott when you get back, stopped your juvenile political indoctrination as well as your role-playing with Eric Sarrazin, who are more or less questionable character field, which also tries to indoctrinate youth.

We apologize for any consequences that this may cause.

Make sure Accept my best regards.

Sincerely,
Gilles Merlot

Quebecers agree with the progressive press of the Persian Gulf against the Europeans. The same phenomenon is experienced by us. See: Authors Progressive Muslims: The Muslim groups in Europe exploit the openness of the Europeans

The survey is presented as a sign that Quebeckers are less open minded than Canadians in other provinces. This is nonsense.

People have a right to hate a religion over another, and all forms of fundamentalism. People have the right to reject the very idea of a god or a creator of the universe, and only look at religions as superstition. The State has no mandate to be loved or despised religions atheism and agnosticism. Instead, it should guarantee freedom of conscience.

In addition, we must not confuse hatred of religion and hatred of people who practice it. If this were the case, should denounce the press for Quebec hate speech. The Quebec media continue to drag Christianity and the Catholic clergy in the mud. We should absolutely love religions of others and respect their imams, mullahs and ayatollahs?!

A for mixed marriages: Ask the Bouchard-Taylorist the so-called open-mindedness, it would like her child marries a "redneck" Alberta Christian who believes that man and dinosaurs lived together on Earth there are six thousand years?

If the mother of Nathalie Morin had another girl, do you think it would be happy to see her attend a Saudi? And other relatives in Quebec?

If you want to know what prejudice and bigotry, read the forum regularly mejliss or the book of our favorite Montreal imam. It includes the member Fatima Houda-Pepin of "false" Muslim because she married a Catholic Quebecers ... a true Muslim to marry a Muslim, the other being that dirty infidels. Even among themselves, they regularly deal with heretics or apostates.

Ask Muslims in Quebec if they would like to see their daughter married a Quebec-born, a Jew or a Sikh ... These families have a tradition of arranged marriages. They marry among themselves, often between first cousins. In the West, girls are victims of crimes of "honor" to be fallen in love with a boy from another religion. Quebecers still do not!

As for the opinion on Sikh: the image that Quebecers have is that of a family who is abusing her child by forcing him to wear a dagger (kirpan) 24 hours a day, including school . Orthodox Sikhs which require that schools accommodate these archaic beliefs are primarily responsible for the bad image that Quebecers form of their religion.

This survey shows that Quebecers have good reflexes ... and Canadians from other provinces have been so indoctrinated by the ideology multikulti neo-totalitarian they are better able to prioritize their values. For them, anything goes, from the abject sublime. Quebecers refuse the many accommodations immoral, they refuse to accommodate archaisms, and Islamism, this theology of death segregationist who treats women as things of life that includes a shroud. Congratulations to Quebec!

There is no need to indoctrinate the people of Quebec to begin to respect the religion of others. It should begin with we respect ourselves, our history, our roots, our culture. And educate others on freedom of conscience, the benefits of secular institutions, separation of religion and politics, freedom of expression ... and freedom to express life by falling in love with the infidels!

Tenacious resistance to Islam in Quebec

One year after the end of the Bouchard-Taylor commission, Quebecers still eat lots of prejudices against certain religious groups. More than half of them believe that the fundamental principles of Islam promote violence, reveals a recent survey conducted by the Angus Reid firm.

"Quebecers are wary of most religions in general as all other Canadians and their feeling is particularly strong towards Islam and Sikhism," says the analyst Jaideep Mukerji.

Thus, 45% of Quebecers say that it would be "unacceptable" that one of their children marries a Muslim, whereas this rate is only 29% in the rest of the country. Quebecers are also systematically more likely than other Canadians disapprove of a union with a Sikh, a Hindu, a Buddhist or a Jew, although the phenomenon is less marked.

Another finding: 68% of Quebecers have an unfavorable opinion moderately or very unfavorable Islam, compared to 52% in Canada.

Directed the 14 and 15 April on behalf of Maclean's magazine from 1004 Canadian Internet users, including 280 Quebecers, the survey has a margin of error of 6.1% appréciable for provincial results. "But the trend and the gap between Quebec and the rest of Canada are significant," says Mukerji.

Mr. Mukerji believes that this reluctance reflected a lack of minority religious groups. Half of Quebecers say they do not understand the beliefs of Islam. "They are very few to personally know friends who practice religions other than Christianity, compared to other Canadians," he says.

Finally, it is also in the province in which reasonable accommodations have made the most of ink flow resistance are the highest: 74% of Quebecers believe that the laws and standards in Canada should not be amended to facilitate religious practices, or 17 percentage points more than in the rest of the country.

Racialism is an emphasis on race or racial considerations.

Racialism entails a belief in the existence and significance of racial categories, but not necessarily in a hierarchy between the races, or in any political or ideological position of racial supremacy.

While the term racism refers the social and political effects pertaining to individual attitudes, institutional discrimination, and certain political ideologies based on the concept of race, racialism is the basic epistemological position that not only do races exist, but also that there are significant differences between them.

It is important to note, however, that this distribution of meanings between the two terms used to be precisely inverse at the time they were coined: The Oxford English Dictionary defined racialism as "belief in the superiority of a particular race" and gives a 1907 quote as the first recorded use. The term racism was defined by the OED as "[t]he theory that distinctive human characteristics and abilities are determined by race", giving 1936 as the first recorded use. Additionally, the OED records racism as a synonym of racialism: "belief in the superiority of a particular race". By the end of World War II, racism had acquired the same supremacist connotations as racialism: racism now implied racial discrimination, racial supremacism and a harmful intent.

Since the 1960s, some authors have introduced a new meaning for the less-current racialism: Black civil rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois introduced racialism as having the same meaning as racism had prior to WWII, i.e. the philosophical belief that differences exist between human races, be they biological, social, psychological or in the realm of the soul. He reserved the use of racism to refer to the belief that one's particular race is superior to the others (viz., precisely the inverse of the OED definitions). Scholar Kwame Anthony Appiah criticised DuBois for this definition of racialism in 'My Father's House' (1992) where he defines racialism as "...the view…that there are heritable characteristics, possessed by members of our species, which allow us to divide them into a small set of races, in such a way that all the members of these races share certain traits and tendencies with each other that they do not share with members of any other race."

Philosopher Pierre-André Taguieff has used the word racialism as a perfect synonym of scientific racism, to distinguish it from popular racism; He uses the term racialism to mean racism that claims to be scientifically founded. Arthur Gobineau's An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races (1853-55) is an example of such racialism. Human zoos have been an important component of both popular racism and racialism, popularizing colonialism to the masses and was a subject of curiosity for anthropology and anthropometric studies, until at least the 1930s.

The field of whiteness studies examines the idea that race is a category that only applies to groups that are perceived to be different in some way. This area of scholarship scrutinizes the ways in which white people have become the standard against which all races are marked.

Racialism and scientific racism

Current racialist positions have moved away from 19th century classifications and rely instead on genetics, studying physiological differences between groups such as race and height, but also more complex, and thus controversial, questions like race and intelligence, race and health, and race and crime.

In the mid-20th century, support for some of the classical terminology of scientific racism declined among anthropologists: scientific support for the "Caucasoid", "Negroid", "Mongoloid" terminology has fallen steadily over the past century. Whereas 78 percent of the articles in the 1931 volume of Journal of Physical Anthropology employed these or similar terms, only 36 percent did so in 1965 (see African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968)), and just 28 percent did in 1996. In February 2001, the editors of the medical journal Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine asked authors to no longer use "race" as explanatory variable, nor to use obsolescent terms. Other peer-reviewed journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine and the American Journal of Public Health, have done the same. The National Institutes of Health issued a program announcement for grant applications through February 1, 2006, specifically seeking researchers to investigate and publicize the detrimental effects of using racial classifications within the healthcare field. The program announcement quoted the editors of one journal as saying that "analysis by race and ethnicity has become an analytical knee-jerk reflex."

Racialist vocabulary with inconsistent definitions is still used in medicine to a small extent, even when it has vanished from some census agencies and everyday speech. Genetics has renewed racialist perspectives, combining with the racialist perspectives of craniofacial anthropometry. Racialism in genetics is criticized as being subjective and otherwise inappropriate.

Racialism as pretext for separatism or supremacism

Alleged scientific findings of racial differences have been used to justify racial separatism. Nazi Germany had a racialist policy with its concept of "Großdeutschland" (Greater Germany), alongside its racial ideal based on the nordic race. In the United States in the 2000s, the term racialism has been employed by white separatist groups such as Christian Identity, Aryan Nations, the American Nazi Party, and White Aryan Resistance, though it has also been used by more innocuous groups and individuals.

During the first part of the Shōwa era, the propaganda of the Empire of Japan used the old concept of hakko ichiu to support the idea that the Yamato was a superior race, destined to rule Asia and the Pacific. Many documents such as Kokutai no Hongi, Shinmin no Michi and An Investigation of Global Policy with the Yamato Race as Nucleus referred to this concept of racial supremacy. Racial discrimination against other Asians was habitual in Imperial Japan and the Shōwa regime thus preached racial superiority and racialist theories, based on sacred nature of the Yamato-damashii. According to historian Kurakichi Shiratori, one of emperor Shōwa's teachers :«Therefore nothing in the world compares to the divine nature (shinsei) of the imperial house and likewise the majesty of our national polity (kokutai). Here is one great reason for Japan's superiority.»

This kind of initiative, always initially built on good intentions, invariably ends up being transformed into monstrous Commission for the Propagation of Virtue and Suppression of Vice led forces islamoleftists ... We see Canada, where the commissions of human rights authorities are custodians of property and threaten democracy and our freedoms. We saw in Quebec with the astonishing document attached to the Bouchard-Taylor Report recommended that the media are at the service of Utopia Wellness and the Harmony total ... and everyone around, let's sing Kumbaya!

Australia will implement the mandatory Internet censorship

Australia added to China as a country which implements the mandatory censorship of the Internet, under a program developed by the federal government.

These revelations came out when the giant U.S. technology, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo and a coalition of advocacy groups for human rights and other groups unveiled a code of conduct to protect freedom of expression and privacy on the Internet.

The government said it will not allow Internet users have the option to withdraw from the proposed national internet filter.

The program was initially conceived as a way to fight against child pornography and adult content, but it could be extended to include controversial websites on euthanasia or anorexia.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy revealed the mandatory censorship to the Senate committee on estimates, while the Global Network Initiative, which brings together major corporations, organizations, human rights, academics and investors have asked technology companies to commit themselves to "protect freedom of expression and the right to privacy of their users."

Mr. Conroy said that tests should be made, but "we are talking about mandatory blocking, where possible, of illegal content."

The proposal for "Net Nanny" was originally offered to Australians who wanted uncensored access to the Web can contact their ISP to be excluded from this service.

Human Rights Watch has condemned internet censorship, and argued the U.S. Senate that "there is a real danger of a Virtual Curtain dividing the internet, just as the Iron Curtain had done during the Cold War because some governments fear the potential of the Internet, and want to control it. "

Groups including the System Administrators Guild of Australia and Electronic Frontiers Australia have attacked the proposal, saying it unfairly restrict Australians' access to the Web, it would slow the speed of the Internet and increase the price of access to Internet.

Colin Jacob, a board member of EFA, said the filter had little effect on illegal content on the Internet, including child pornography, because it would not cover file-sharing networks.

"If the government clearly announced that it intends to target only pornography, it would be a whole other debate," he said.

The initiative of technology companies, which follows criticism that companies were working to censorship of the Internet in countries such as China, requires them to narrowly interpret requests for information or censorship government and to fight for their collaboration reduce to a minimum.

The initiative provides a systematic approach to "work together to resist efforts by governments that seek to mobilize companies in acts of censorship and surveillance that violate international standards", said participants.

In a statement, co-founder and president of Yahoo, Jerry Yang welcomed the new code of conduct.

"These principles provide a valuable roadmap for companies like Yahoo operating in markets where freedom of expression and privacy are unfairly restricted," he said.

"Yahoo was founded on the belief that promoting access to information can enrich people's lives, and the principles we unveil today reflect our determination that our actions match our values around the world" .

Yahoo has been propelled to the forefront the issue of online rights after the Californian company has helped Chinese police identify cyber dissidents whose supposed crime was expressing their views online.

China exercises strict control over the Internet, it blocks sites linked to Chinese dissidents, the outlawed spiritual movement Falun Gong, the Tibetan government in exile and those with information about the 1989 massacre at Tiananmen.

A number of U.S. companies, including Microsoft, Cisco, Google and Yahoo, have been dragged before the U.S. Congress in recent years and accused of complicity in building the "Great Wall Chinese Firewall."

The Australian Christian Lobby, however, has hosted the program with satisfaction.

The Executive Director Jim Wallace said that such measures were necessary. "The need to prevent access to content and coarse child pornography must be placed above the desire of industry to see unrestricted access," said Wallace.

The Committee to Protect Journalists has published a list of 10 worst countries in the world for bloggers. The Internet culture is expanding in several countries in Asia and the Middle East, resulting in an aggressive crackdown by some governments. Three of these countries are members of Consel Human Rights of the United Nations, China, Cuba and Egypt.

"Bloggers are the vanguard of the information revolution and the number is growing," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. "But governments have got to turn the technology against bloggers by censorship, restrictions on Internet access and retrieval of personal information. When all else fails, the authorities simply throw a few bloggers in prison for intimidating the rest of the Internet community and force them into silence or self-censorship."

Here is the list of the worst predators of freedom of expression online:

1. Burma
2. Iran
3. Syria
4. Cuba
5. Saudi Arabia
6. Vietnam
7. Tunisia
8. China
9. Turkmenistan
10. Egypt
