Canada's Black Mark

I think this position explains well my position about Canada - or the myth that we're committed to freedom.

We're not.

We're, in fact, hostile to it.

When you think beyond the confines of political boundaries, there's nothing rational, French or English, just or free about our benign form of segregation.

As I wrote way below in a different post:

Any citizen , let alone a non-Francophone one, that agrees Bill 101 is a "good law" is a fool and anti-democratic. The law mocks the fundamental values of liberty we claim to have. You can't rationalize it any other way. You can't be free some of the time. Either you are, or you are not. In Quebec, we're not until we have a right to choose. Right to choose is not something that falls exclusively under abortion.


To me, it's a black mark on the Canadian landscape and is a reason why I smirk whenever I hear a Canadian nationalist babble on about our supposed freedoms while inevitably pumping their chest bashing the Yanks down south.

Quebec can claim to be 'proud' of it all it wants. That's ok. They made the choice. Just don't turn around and tell me you're democrats.

They're looking at it from their own private parochial prism. But in the larger picture where we remove ourselves from the tribe and view our existence as sovereign individuals, then the law is nothing but paternalism hostile to our private interests.
