Le Devoir


The newspaper Le Devoir lost feathers and strengths. Home and perhaps also those of 'people of spirit and good' (ie the hearing officially referred by his founder, Henri Bourassa), its editorials often inspire disillusionment - colored rev reed - despite a holding perhaps the fact that the quality of the spirits who once headed (from Bourassa Bissonnette) is quite now sadly lacking. He said officially 'free thinking', but refuses to publish comments on this site, which does not seem to align more with the editorial policy of the independent newspaper. All this, dam perhaps the most remarkable of its columnists, who still support honorably.

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. Nothing that does not surprise. Ultimately, some would be willing to die in the name of a certain chauvinistic pride while others see in nationalism asserted, with Albert Einstein, a "childhood disease". Healthy adding that patriotism is another matter!

.
Is it necessary to specify (for spirits frightened or anxious to find!) That does not contradict the ideals of some research community in a spirit of tolerance and respect? The ideal flower to see a language widely shared and to refine the master, as an example. Or strengthening common institutions which themselves stand out perhaps more monolithic than can individuals. Or maintain laws reconciliatory, to live and relive the customs and traditions that a nation was proud. On the road to a national identity 'more generous ...?

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.

Reasonable Accommodation the Manor of eternity

Following the work of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission on reasonable limits placed on the exercise of fundamental rights, "it pleases me to share a experience this year in Varanasi (India), the approach of Christmas.

Along with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, so I lived in a mansion (Amar Bhawan) held by an engineer and Hindu religious leader, Lock Badhra Mishra said Mahantji and made famous by his efforts to clean up the Ganges. Mahantji is also head of the great temple of Sankat Mochan, where Hindu rituals are repeated many decades.

Before crossing gates Amar Bhawan - the "Manor of eternity" - any candidate for the residence is a whiff of rules Hindu imposed wishing to live there. Meats, eggs, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, music unregistered, and some attitudes towards the Indians are subject to strict regulation. Many visitors who turn back and choose a place free from such prohibitions. Others, like me, chose to obey all these rules in respect of the Hindu Brahmin tradition.

After a few months pleasantly experienced Amar Bhawan, the "holiday season" is looming in December for a majority residents. Two options were available to us, who did wish to add water spirits on the menu for our festivities: to celebrate Christmas and New Year outdoors with mutual friends, or to apply, without assuming its satisfaction that we Mahantji a privilege temporarily, until the ending festivities. An accommodation request was made by a California theologian responsible for representing us. In memory of Mahantji, such accommodation does not then he had been asked. Surprised, he gave them all the same result by altering the code of conduct temporarily Amar Bhawan, pleasure residents. A large group of friends in India (Brahmins and others) joignèrent us, some of them for allowing himself the opportunity to waive the code themselves Brahmanical places. According to Govinda Baba, a sadhu accustomed places, the Christmas of 2007 was one of the most successful in history of Amar Bhawan. It has certainly allowed individuals atheists, religious, Hindus and non Hindus congregate in an area comfortable, friendly atmosphere, festive spirit of reconciliation and free from sectarianism. It has also been the site of eclectic conversations and, ultimately, joyful, surrounding among other fashionable women's clothing eastern and western ...
