Prayer the most expensive in town (take 2) Prayer

On my last post I ended by saying that I enjoyed reading the ruling condemning the city of Saguenay to pay $ 30,000 to a citizen's freedom bullied because of the reciting a short prayer to before council. Thank you to my step-daughter, a lawyer by profession, who was eager to find on the web to send it to me. To facilitate my task, given the excessive length of the text, it took me time to highlight in yellow the parts necessary for understanding the trial. Definitely, it is with the right tools that we built the best house!

reading this report - although I still find ridiculous that we can go as far to destroy its own culture - allowed me to obtain valuable information about the context in which this story unfolded.

From what I understand, the fine of $ 30,000 is divided as follows: $ 15,000 in moral damages and another $ 15,000 in punitive damages. The moral damage is attributed to the victim for injury, while punitive damages is attributed to him who inflicts it. In our case, how the mayor of Saguenay can be perceived by the judge as having caused harm to a citizen merely for having persisted in reciting a prayer before the regular sessions of City Council? Well there is just not the problem it seems.

In a written verdict, we learn that during the Council session, just before Christmas 2007, Mayor Tremblay would permit a sarcastic remark against the complainant Mr. Simoneau. The latter, having sent the mayor a question on any folder, will be told by the mayor not to worry and go celebrate Christmas with the family. When Mr. Simoneau has resumed his seat, the mayor added, addressing the crowd: "Do not worry if Mr. Simoneau is stirred as it is he who does not agree with me in prayer and who complained! "Wow! Imagine yourself a little more. From there, Mr. Simoneau was a marked man. Telephone threats, derogatory comments, bullying at work, and more ... Police Saguenay same formal complaint against a criminal Jacques Tremblay, for harassing telephone calls.

Two things: First, I would have expected better of the first magistrate of the City of Saguenay. Since these facts have been brought to my attention, I suddenly feel a little less sympathetic to his cause. Clearly, the mayor has abused his position to afford the complainant's head and publicly humiliate him. Secondly, I believe that believers frustrated with the complaint of Mr. Simoneau has clearly missed an invaluable opportunity to practice several basic principles of Christian faith, is it necessary here to enumerate them? So much for the saga Simoneau vs. Tremblay.

Also, in my previous post I mentioned that the establishment of the Bouchard-Taylor had been a step in the right direction to try to see things more clearly with the immigration debate and reasonable accommodations. If I may, I make some clarifications on my opinion on the recommendations of the report of this committee: I am extremely disappointed and, thereby, totally disagree with the philosophy behind the suggestions of our two commissioners.

Basically, I agree that no multiculturalist ideology that wants to force us in the gorge the name of tolerance and acceptance of others, fear of being accused of racism that exists in the minds of those who despise their own heritage, even those who feel guilty simply require that they be respected on their territory. Enough 's enough of Politically correct left that closes the debate by demonizing the other as soon as he is too far right or too conservative. I am convinced that only weaken, blindly, by not being more firm with our immigrants. Our political elites are they so disconnected from reality as to think that serious problems Social caused by the softness of immigration policies like those of England and France, could not be repeated under the sky of our Belle Province? But these problems have already begun, like a cancer to insidiously erode our democratic way of life, established on Judeo-Christian values which are based on mutual aid, solidarity, justice, gender equality, etc. ...

I'm not a racist, I am a Canadian Francophone Quebec, a Christian and proud of it, quite willing to share my corner countries with whoever gets in return respectful of my values and my lifestyle, while being conscious of the privilege which is his, to be hosted in a country generally safe or a little hustle just to eat their fill. I am an imperfect but lucid, aware that it would be foolish and stupid on my part to insist that would satisfy my every whim socio-cultural, if I ever go into exile in another country, choice or by force of a tragic event.

Am I a citizen of a country that can still bring to power leaders who are able to hear my concerns ?? If this is not the case, I still hope that I serve a God that He hears me. So I have everything I need to continue ...

The sky Delphinium

There has not been much snow this winter. The mountains, however, are still majestic, brooding over the valley.

Taken from another angle, I hope you will recognize them, they are everywhere on this blog.

Entering through the windows of the train that takes me regularly to the center of my universe, I dedicate this photo to Claude, who every Friday on his blog, with its series "The sky of Friday," invites us to raise and look higher.

Dear Claude, I thank you for your good mood and multiple you leave messages on our blogs.

the most expensive in town ...

Decidedly, Quebec is on track to become a master in the art of the flat-ventrisme identity. As I already mentioned in a previous article, to hit the little that remains of Christian heritage (and all in the name of the new religion of multiculturalism, or "Rights"), you will soon have the opportunity to s' surprise, the day when it will be found that we are here as fellows. The day is coming, hence the term "Quebec strain" will become a shameful synonymous with intolerance, akin to a racist past that we rejoice at wrong to be buried for good.

Not without jokes! The human rights tribunal the person, not satisfied to order the City Council to remove their crucifixes Saguenay and abolish their prayers before council, pushed the blame to order him to pay $ 30,000 fine dollars in damage to a citizen saying discriminated by reciting a short prayer before the Christian council monthly meeting. To borrow a phrase from Matthew Bock side, here we are swimming in delirium ideological publicly encouraged. Let me humbly remind you that this is the same court which decided long ago in favor of Muslims demanding prayer rooms in Quebec universities. Wake me if I sleep while awake, but I here that decodes what is good for Muslim immigrants, has no place to apply to indigenous people with a small 400 years of Christian culture?

I do not know the mayor of Saguenay (pictured above) and I have no desire to participate in the ongoing debate about its supposed control problem or trends Pharisaic but I sympathize wholeheartedly with him and all believers in this city.

Also, I am not at all cons the separation of church and state, whether municipal, provincial or federal. So if ever the state decided to settle the issue of reasonable accommodation by opting for the ï city wall to wall (yes I know, this requires a courage that is sorely lacking to most politicians), it should conduct a parliamentary committee and then give birth to a charter that would then be adopted as a law that would regulate the entire machinery of government, full stop. We can therefore, by extension, get rid once and for all of religious ethics course that forces us into the groove since last fall. You guessed it, I take no pleasure in living in a society that must rely on a tribunal to resolve the dilemmas associated with religious practice in public space.

In my opinion, instead of wasting their time refining their insults in parliamentary session, our elected officials should take care of fussing to find a concrete solution to prevent the social fabric of our province and crack more. In this sense, the Committee Bouchard-Taylor was a step in the right direction, but no more. When the potatoes become too hot and it might cost votes, it has preferred to maintain the good sense to throw it in the courtyard of the courts to continue to decide for us.

But then, we find ourselves still governed by lawyers who were not trained to decide taking into account the opinions of a group of citizens and common sense, but to analyze the facts according to specific criteria. The fact that you and I find the guy who complained of being discriminated against exaggerating , should theoretically not influence the decision of a judge. The fact is that under the Charter of Human Rights, in this specific context, there is indeed discrimination. This smacks of the Inquisition by cons, it's fine to $ 30,000!

I read the ruling, because up to a fine appears to me unnecessary and dangerously abusive.

It all feels pretty bad for the Christians of Quebec, I'm paranoid or what?
