A Case of Identity

The debates surrounding the issue of "identity of a people" in Quebec as elsewhere, like a commedia dell'arte in which a number of politicians and officials intermediaries seeking to impose their own scenario balkanized most often less tasteful.

A fundamental error is that it flows freely to the idea that millions of people today would share, as opposed to others, a unique identity, and thus the "same root," as a single tree - a spruce, birch or maple? would be inclined to ask. It is not afraid to abuse in this game of division and false meetings, these rich metaphors tree, open field patriotic - the poor play on words is fortuitous.

What we said too often, outside private clubs is that everyone develops roots in movement, daily, and exposes its own foliage, sometimes facing the nor'wester, sometimes quietly, by some snowy peaks, there on the edge of swamps. So it is not necessary to move beyond the regions of Quebec to be convinced. Quebecers rather atheists, religious, chauvinists, cosmopolitanism, Conservative, Liberal, (in) tolerant, rational, passionate, egalitarian, competitive, monolingual, multilingual, globe-trotting, sedentary, conformist or rebel rub shoulders every day.

The speech we failed? Learn to better understand, respond Socrates. And if that means we had to explain to a stranger what makes 'us' who we are, what words would we use? What words are those of our neighbors, in our opinion? And if we take the time to ask the question out of curiosity ...? In my vision, which should not and can not be shared by all in a free society, these words belong to the individual first: you and me are bigger than Quebec, it is too expensive in our hearts.

To abuse our turn images Scots offer that men do not have identities less than the Tree of Life has no roots in the center to the periphery, and they extend in symbiosis. The healthy patriotism, or even the identity National generous, would be more appropriately Affairs symbioses, I think he said. All invitations, all in all, curiosity, effort and dialogue.
