Banning Kirpan At Que Analysis
Response to Banning Kirpan at Que. National assembly
A Catholic perspective

From my understanding, the motion to ban the ceremonial daggers from the provincial legislature at the Quebec national assembly shouldn’t even be a concern. When Canada became a country, Quebec was included -aside from their identity debate- therefore they follow the same policy’s that Canadians follow too. Such as “Canada seeks to define how all Canadian’s- whatever the ethnic, cultural linguistic of religious background- make up fabric of nation and identity. Bylaw all are to participate equally in everyday aspects of Canadian life, while at time persevering their cultural heritage”. Meaning that aside from Quebec’s values, they are intended to respect Canadian

    John L. O’Sullivan had said, “‘... our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.’” (www.britanica.com) During Andrew Jackson’s term, America had set its sights on the untamed West - which, inconveniently, happened to be the Indians’ territory. President Jackson decided to create a controversial treaty that would allow America to exchange the Indians’ land for a large piece of land in the Louisiana Territory. It was created on May 28, 1830 and sparked much criticism and support throughout the nation. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was justified because the Indians were enemies of America, they were given good land, and they were offered the government’s protection.…

    The topic of this essay concerns the current proposed law in Quebec regarding the ban on people wearing and displaying religious symbols in government, publicly funded institutions and places of work by the people employed at said places. The Provence of Quebec, governed at this time by the Parti Quebecois, has put forth Bill 60, named the Quebec Charter of Values. Essentially Bill 60 will restrict the wearing or displaying of all religious symbols by people who are attending school or working in the public sector. For example, if a Muslim nurse wearing a hijab was employed at a hospital in the province, she would be required to take off her hijab and any other visible religious symbols before she entered the hospital to start her shift. The bill would apply to judges, police, prosecutors, public daycare workers, teachers, school employees, hospital workers and municipal personnel. The government of Quebec states that; “The purpose of this bill is to establish a Charter affirming the values of State secularism and religious neutrality and of equality between women and men, and providing a framework for…

    “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” This quote represents all dominant cultures perspectives. Each dominant group wanted new and sharper ideas instead of the old, poor ones. Whether that is religion, culture, ideas, or leadership. Residential schools were made to force First Nations into schools and assimilate them to European. European Imperialism shaped our world today with many of our essentials and to conclude, dictatorship came into effect with the German and Jewish. In order to change a culture you must kill, change and control. Without these key elements, these main points in history would have never occurred and they wouldn’t have impacted Canadian society today.…

    The political scene in Canada of the 1970s was a rather tense one. In Quebec, citizens felt they were not considered in federal decision-making. They had a culture influenced by the French while the majority of Canada had an English influence. This angered a group of Quebecois so it was decided they would try to be heard by the federal government in Ottawa.…

    In the 1970s, the Federal Government undertook an official policy on multiculturalism that was based on the understanding that, “…there cannot be one cultural policy for Canadians of British and French origin, another for the original peoples and yet a third for all others. For although there are two official languages, there is no official culture, nor does any ethnic group take precedence over any other.” (Trudeau 1971) If Canada were to establish policies on official cultures, cultures that people must integrate into, the effect would be to increase feeling of alienation in minority communities by creating barriers to entrance. By actively promoting these different cultures, so long as there is a collective will for the…

    If the only way to save your life was to blame an innocent member in your community, would you? In The Crucible, Arthur Miller expresses the acts of finding a scapegoat through John Proctor and Reverend Hale juxtaposed to Abigail, the girls and some of the accused. Many of the accused “witches” admit to being a witch and save their own lives by offering the names of other witches in the community. If the accused claim they are not witches, they will be hanged for witchcraft, but if they confess and desire God’s forgiveness, their lives will be spared. “HALE: You have confessed yourself to witchcraft, and that speaks a wish to come to Heaven’s side. And we will bless you Tituba.” (Page 43).…
