This Is Not About Upholding Quebec Values

A brief comment on this Sun News article:

There is hardly a soul in all of Canada who finds the Sikh turban, the Jewish yarmulke or the crucifix violate either Canadian or Quebec values. Yet, like Premier Pauline Marois, we are all part of the charade pretending this debate is about the Sikh turban.

If Marois indeed believes in upholding Quebec values, she would have said there is no room in Quebec for the use of religious symbols that promote fascist and supremacist political ideologies. However, we live in the age of Chamberlain, not Churchill.

Here's the thing. The proposed "Charter of Quebec Values" has nothing to do with upholding Quebec values, it's about redefining them. As the "charter's" unofficial name implies - it's about secularism. The objective is not to ban offensive religious symbols, let alone symbols that promote fascist and supremacist political ideologies. The PQ is hijacking the hot-button issue for their own political advantage, looking forward to enshrine militant secular humanism as Quebec's new official religion and to stamp out what's left of Quebec's Christian heritage under the pretense of neutrality, multiculturalism and non-sectarianism.

What Joyce Arthur Wants To Hide

The question is obviously rhetorical.

Joyce Arthur of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada must be very, very annoyed—media outlets have been calling her quite frequently of late to ask her opinion on our new projects, especially our “Face the Children” Project, which involves the mass distribution of postcards featuring abortion-supporting politicians next to abortion victims.

But it is our pictures, apparently, that Joyce takes issue with.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Especially if the words, spoken by the pro-abortion crowd, are deceptive and the picture shows the truth. These pictures upset the pro-aborts - well, that's obvious, they'll always be upset about any criticism of abortion. And it's easy to understand why ordinary people too are troubled with graphic pictures. But that's one of the reasons these images are there. Instead of being concerned about children being allowed to see these pictures, people better be concerned about children being allowed to become these pictures.
