How big a cross is too big? When is a scarf on the head a hijab? Why is the cross on Mount Royal OK but a cross around the neck not? Ridicule is good because there is nothing worse for a politician than to be ridiculed.<\/p>\n<p>However, I am concerned that these criticisms miss some key points. The Charter is not flawed because it is hard to apply; it is flawed because it legalizes discrimination against religious and cultural groups. It is tyranny of the majority against minorities.<\/p>\n<p>I am very pleased to be a citizen of a liberal democracy as opposed to a non-liberal democracy. A liberal democracy has a constitution that limits the power of government so that basic rights are not easily removed from minorities. Quebec currently is a liberal democracy because it has an excellent Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. I suggest that readers take a minute to Google it and see what we will lose when the Charter is amended so that the new Charter of Values will be legal.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just two excerpts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whereas all human beings are equal in worth and dignity, and are entitled to equal protection of the law.<\/li>\n<li>Every person is the possessor of the fundamental freedoms, including freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, \u2026 freedom of expression.<\/li>\n<li>The Charter of Values will not allow freedom of conscience, of religion or of expression for people who wish to work for the government, in hospitals, as teachers and even as daycare workers. Employment should be based on one\u2019s ability and not on any other characteristics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do Quebecers really want to become like Saudi Arabia and Iran where the state dictates what one can and cannot wear?<\/p>\n<p>In Quebec, I am a member of three minorities. I speak English, I am handicapped (hearing) and I am a Jew. This Charter will take away my freedom as a Jew. How long before other freedoms are removed from me or you in the name of making all Quebecers fit a certain mould?<\/p>\n<p>It is a slippery slope and that is why we must vigorously oppose any infringements on our basic freedoms. Today it may be others but tomorrow it will be you and to paraphrase the famous poem (First they came for \u2026.) there will be no one left to speak up for you.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montrealgazette.com\/life\/Charter+Quebec+Values+Montreal+politicians+united+disdain\/8895331\/story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charter of Quebec Values: Montreal politicians united in disdain<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Montreal Gazette &#8211;

The imposition of politically correct attitudes and affects combined with the overbearing reach of the control state have made public officials, for the most part, feckless and weak. Pandering rules principle. Paramount among those who continue to seek to make law the shield of the honest and the staff of the innocent and not just a two-edged sword of craft and oppression is Montreal lawyer Julius Grey. He has devoted his life to the vulnerable and nearly-vanquished, and time and again to the only causes worth fighting for, the lost ones. In Quebec, he is singularly responsible for keeping the flame of individual conscience and consequence alive in the face of collectivist lockstep. He has said many times and in many places that \u201clegislating niceness is not very nice.\u201d When he said those words he was not talking only about the endless stream of nanny-state rule and regulation. He was also talking about the demonization of people for the views they hold. The suffocating rush to conformity that poisons every aspect of our public debate. Last week Julius Grey almost became a victim of these maladies we oppose so vigorously.
