When you restrict choice, under any circumstance, you forfeit your right to claim to be democratic.
Moreover, in the case of the PQ looking to enforce the anti-democratic Bill 101 law further, they abandon any right to claim to be for human rights, pluralism and liberty.
They made their choice. Culture comes before the individual. They must be prepared to live with the consequences. Just don't try and insult and tell me you stand to protect my civil rights with this sort of stuff.
They are less and less thinking that way and over the next 10 to 20 years they will have died. The younger ones are not representative of their age group. The measure will never, hopefully, pass.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're right.
ReplyDeleteI don't see what can stop them if they invoke the notwithstanding clause.
This time around public opinion may not be on their side. 1988 was along time ago.
