How do you say “push back” in French?

QMI Agency has learned the Parti Quebecois government plans to amend the Quebec charter of rights and freedoms and ban most religious signs and symbols from public institutions such as daycare centres, public schools, hospitals, clinics, and other government buildings.
Visible crosses, yarmulkes, hijabs, niqabs, burkas and turbans would all be banned.
According to sources close to the government, all health workers, public school teachers and public daycare workers would have to leave their religious symbols at home when they go to work.

What Ted Cruz actually needs to do to renounce Canadian citizenship
Unfortunately for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, you can’t just say you renounce your Canadian citizenship…

As for Franco-Mulcair see 4 here. Then there was Franco-Stéphane Dion. At least a previous Governor General did the proper thing.

Thought you’d find this 2 page real estate brochure interesting. It was delivered to our door today in the Point Grey neighbourhood of
Vancouver. […]
Went for a 12 block walk the other day. Conservatively, at leasty 15-20 new houses at different stages of completion. All Chinese realtors and ALL the construction people I saw were Chinese.

The Beeb? Bias?

BBC did not reflect public view on immigration because of ‘deep liberal bias’, says review

And our Mother Corpse? Not to mention CTV.

That first “s” word is now effectively, for right- (in that other sense of the word) thinking people a meme to identify elliptically all those things they support and those they condemn. From sustainable development to sustainable transportation. And we already have sustainable food, more from a usual suspect.
Having just eaten a superb, barbied on charcoal, one-pound and thick rib steak (gnawed to the bone as best one could) one is both glad and sad to be of a certain age.
By the way the perfect and only side: watercress. Does that green one? A bit?

Who saw this coming?

A poll conducted by the research bureau of Maurice de Hond (the Dutch equivalent of Gallup), commissioned by the PVV, among a representative sample of over 1,900 people also shows other striking results:
A majority of 55 percent favors stopping immigration from Islamic countries.
63 percent say: no new mosques.
72 percent favor a constitutional ban on Sharia law in the Netherlands.
64 percent say that the arrival of immigrants from Islamic countries has not been beneficial to the Netherlands.
Nearly three-quarters – 73 percent – of all Dutch see a relationship between Islam and the recent terror acts in Boston, London and Paris.

Sweden is reeling after a third night of rioting in largely run-down immigrant areas of the capital Stockholm.
In the last 48 hours violence has spread to at least ten suburbs with mobs of youths torching hundreds of cars and clashing with police.
It is Sweden’s worst disorder in years and has shocked the country and provoked a debate on how Sweden is coping with youth unemployment and an influx of immigrants.

Londonistan;

Some 3.7million Londoners classified themselves as white British in 2011 – down from 4.3million in 2001 – despite the city’s population increasing by nearly one million over the decade to 8.2million.
White Britons now make up 45 per cent of the population, compared with 58 per cent in 2001.
London’s population has been boosted by immigrants. Three million foreign-born people now live in the capital.

The national census for England and Wales is out…

By any measure, what it reveals is a country undergoing seismic change. Over the course of a decade up to four million more people have entered the country to live. In the capital, London, people identifying themselves as “white British” have for the first time become a minority. Perhaps most strikingly, the national Muslim population has doubled.

As a self-ordained Priestess in the Fundamentalist Church of Cafe Racers, I say the moment has arrived to fight for the right to testify in full face helmet.
She worships an 7th century head-chopping, misogynist pedophile – I worship a 20th century organ-donating motorcycle. I think I can make a case for the religious high ground.
