Quebec's Hijab:

Politicians in Quebec are currently agonizing over how to ban the Hijab and still get elected.

It's a silly issue. What they should be concerned with is how to return to Canadian citizens their individual rights as outlined in the fundamental Freedoms in Part 1 of the Constitution Act, 1982, which states:

(b)freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communications...

Okay. So where's the freedom of thought, belief and opinion for the individual who decides not to deal with someone wearing a disguise on occasions other than Hallowe'en?

It ought to be easy to predict success for the party that promises to return our individual freedoms to think for ourselves instead of letting the thought police and rights tribunals do our thinking for us.

As for the people who want to wear a hijab, they, too, should have the freedom to do so. With no thought police and automatic access to those ridiculous rights tribunals, chances are good they will soon learn their freedom to do as they please may be sharply limited by others also with the freedom to do as they please.

That is how our freedoms used to work before the Pierre Elliott Trudeau administration monkeyed around with them back in 1982.

Freedoms which have to be dragged through the law courts each time we try to use them are not free at all.

Still another example of Human Rights gone wrong.
