What Economic Record?

Pauline Marois says she wants to run on her economic record. Which part would that be? The one that created part-time jobs or the one where most of the employment was in the public sector?

Success! Growth!

Who knew the PQ shares economic policy ideas with the Obama Democrats? Lotsa disturbing similarities between the two. 

Besides, we all know what she wants to talk about. The Quebec Charter is where her margarine is.

How do these ideas match up against the United States?

"This publication by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) answers questions about how federal employment discrimination law applies to religious dress and grooming practices, and what steps employers can take to meet their legal responsibilities in this area.


Examples of religious dress and grooming practices include wearing religious clothing or articles (e.g., a Muslim hijab (headscarf), a Sikh turban, or a Christian cross); observing a religious prohibition against wearing certain garments (e.g., a Muslim, Pentecostal Christian, or Orthodox Jewish woman's practice of not wearing pants or short skirts), or adhering to shaving or hair length observances (e.g., Sikh uncut hair and beard, Rastafarian dreadlocks, or Jewish peyes (sidelocks)).


In most instances, employers are required by federal law to make exceptions to their usual rules or preferences to permit applicants and employees to observe religious dress and grooming practices."

Politics is filled with inherent contradictions in such matters since it can't achieve true balance and equality.

As one person put it: The Obama administration likes to stomp on the religious liberty of nuns, craft stores and homeschoolers, but makes up for it by second-guessing businesses' workplace dress and grooming policies.

Bingo.
