Passion administration

"I am passionate about the administration"

OK, I see you smile. And if you do not smile, you should. "I am passionate about the administration" is the kind of thing one says to convince oneself rather that his interlocutor, the kind of desperate attempt to make believe that the money was not the only factor that led you to MBA Remember this campaign trying to convince us that it really cool to be a chartered accountant? Yeah, "passion". And precisely the same kind of passion that will soon be the only one I have left to Quebec politics.

all started with an observation of genius. Genius is Chantal Hebert, a political analyst who proves he can sometimes be legitimate, even natural to admire a political analyst. His observation may seem banal, but it has this quality that is among the most brilliant minds, the ability to make precise an impression that many people had no power to put your finger on it: The Quebec policy is less less aligned with the axis-federalist sovereignty, and more on the left-right axis. Simple observation, simple observation of reorganization of the debate, but a reorganization that tore my heart.

OK, you were wise, you deserve a cube or two of autobiography, do not say that I do not spoil you: I grew up in a den of separatists. My parents are former members of the NIR, people who gleefully spat on the beauties of the bourgeoisie Westmountoise and jewels of the British Empire, activists eager to remove their children Our Rockies. Has it even say that some of their friends were arrested for terrorist sympathies during this wave of justice that was the martial law in October 1970. And me, well, it's psychological, I somehow pushed the same tack, saying my immoral colors by becoming a member of the Parti Quebecois at 17. Séparatissssssssssss. The horror.

Now then growing up in an environment like this, politics has always for me was the scene in which would live or die a project, a goal, that of finally being able to say that my country is Quebec and nothing else. The policy was a path toward sovereignty, first and foremost.

That's when we go somewhere. But the reorganization of which I spoke earlier, it compacts the project towards the margin, giving way to two trends, the left (poor multi-offender, you're a victim who asks for help) and right (let die BS, it serves them). The project (which can be realized or not) disappears in favor of the trend (which can be done more or less), Utopia in favor of the administration. This is a point on the horizon that vanishes at a point where sparkled all sorts of fantasies of world best (whether realistic or not), a purpose for which it was especially nice to ignite .

But, hey, it's time to sink in realism. Calling all fans of Quebec politics: it's time to develop your passion for the administration.




* * * By the way, fans of gender, become superheroes too. Take a ride on recruitment site of Chartered Accountants Quebec and when you hear the music groovy tickle your ears, see the section "Do you have what it takes?" (4th button). You will ask about your relationship with grass clippings and video games if you're a boy or babysitting if you're a girl.

And if you're asexual, "do you measure their [third] quiz. By giving the answers that you define someone as lazy, afflicted with cretinism and fundamentally dishonest, even when you invite to join the business world.

Well, as we have the passion ...

What Viruses Are Going Around

I am entitled to my opinion is correct bin

If there is a little saliva running down my chin, is that I am paid Loft Story three times in the last week. My first three times. Say what you want, I think I saw the future of television news: No need to improvise news about events that may occur at any time, two miles station or in a village at the end of a row, or does not happen then. With Loft Story, everything happens in the studio, everything happens when it is to happen, and it uses the same technology, the same techniques, even the same staff to produce this show than any other news program. If you believe in evolution, the beast that I see is a life form better adapted to its environment that Téléjournal. That's my opinion.

If you believe in evolution, you should see the TQS network in an organization that is evolving to be better adapted to its environment. Like the first multicellular organisms were both a combination of unicellular organisms and a subsequent step in the evolution from these, media companies have both a collection of individuals but also a form of organization Life of a complexity greater than that of individuals. You think what you're thinking, I mean what I think, not obliged to agree with me.

The evolutionary advantage, we can get it by being better adapted to its environment, or while being more efficient to adapt his environment to himself. The beaver that has the best chance of survival is one that is more efficient to build a dam. Similarly, the media company that will survive and succeed best is that which will make the most of the public audience. I'm like that myself, I say things as they are.

In fact, if Quebecor TQS succeeded in passing a law that would require every Quebecer can either play Big Brother or serve in Afghanistan, this would demonstrate its adaptive capacity, proof that the theory of evolution is a theory that makes sense. No no, I say the truth as I see it, I'm the same, not trying to change me.

Woke Up With Swollen Elbow

Say thank you The young

But then there is a small band of bearded leftists who show the UQAM to prevent tuition increases. OK, "small band of bearded leftists", you say that old fart that I am now going to to spit on our beautiful youth.

Well no. I'm for that, youth - it is not because I lost mine in a dusty library corner it gives me a reason to be cons. Worse yet, I'm rather sympathetic to their claims. In fact, their problems come from the same source as mine: It's the same underfunding of the university system that grows with an increase in tuition and pushes me to stay in the U.S. because it does There is no job for me in Quebec (I am a brain drain, and it runs more towards the right). As long as there are no resources to share, we remain victims of the executioner. After, I hope that the university authorities put their priorities in the right place for me to pick up the Motton.

Except me, you know me, I do not really like to agree with people - even temporarily. And luckily I managed to find something that bothers me in the speech of students at UQAM. Flashback

two generations. Two of my grandparents growing up in rural families huge, forced to leave school before high school for economic reasons. Nothing very original for its time, the only tragedy personal and resigned two brilliant, hardworking, which would have gone to university with great enthusiasm and success only if the system in which they were born had made this possible. But no, go work at the workshop, help your mother to keep house, otherwise the whole family will collapse under its own weight. Small tragedies like there were millions of others in Quebec, then, and as there are billions of others around the world.

Fast-forward seventy years. Quebec has become the place in North America, where university education is more affordable. A university McGill, United States, would impose fees of $ 20,000 per year. Here is ten times less.

I do not think we should necessarily take the American university system as an example, even if he is the best in the world in terms of academic level. Still. You still have to see the extraordinary opportunity we have, the extraordinary gift that Quebec society has given itself. And this is where I have my little irritation. Yes, the proposed increase in tuition fees will make life even harder for people to university are already in financial precarious. But these same people around the world or in the generation of my grandparents would never have dared imagine having access to university education.

What I am talking about is a sense of responsibility. Simple respect for those who do not have our chance. Quebec should be, by far the most educated society in North America. Quebec university students should have the gratitude tattooed on the forehead and work like crazy to enjoy the gift that makes them the system.

But a gift is a gift. It is always cheaper when we gave it. What makes me mad, in fact, is that the quality of student work Quebecois would probably increase if we increased tuition. At $ 20,000 per year, it would become much harder to say bah, you know, is not there if I pass that course, well I'm gonna get another, should not derail, there there, just not super chus motivated, it's not my fault ...

OK, green light, you can now start calling me a fascist. But I have nothing against the claims of the small bearded leftists. I just kind of feel that gratitude motivates them as radically as the strike for the rest of the school year.

Lupus Anticoagulant Normal Range

A Season in the life of Quebecers

A specter is haunting Quebec: The spectrum of Hérouxville. All the little souls of the ADQ to Françoise David, have united in a holy alliance to track down accommodation unreasonable and safeguard the fundamental values of Quebec. It has different opinions, but all agree to refer the statement of "Standards of living" of Hérouxville-with its strict ban on stoning and burning women with acid in the territory of the municipality, as the genesis of this discussion.

Like many genes, the original text of the document is far from what has become the debate. Not only because the text itself has changed (the references to stoning and acid are missing - there 'are those who are afraid of nothing), but also because we have almost forgotten that its purpose One was to explain what life in Quebec. Appallingly clumsy attempt to explain, certainly (unless, for you, be Quebecers boils down to boys and girls who bathe together in public swimming pools and an array of block that includes "beef, chicken, lamb, pork, etc.. "), but attempt nonetheless.

In a normal country, this kind of attempt to define collective (immediately followed by a virulent critic) would largely responsible for a certain literary elite, a group of political writers to VS Naipaul, Toni Morrison or Orhan Pamuk. But Quebec is not a normal country. It is a country with relatively little history and even less literature . When I explain to foreign friends that the Quebec writers stay away from political issues, most think I am crazy about their mouths. If only ... Okay, it is excusable for Quebec not to have the caliber of Nobel Prize-winning writer Naipaul, Morrison Pamuk (whatever that really should not read Pamuk to give him a Nobel Prize). But none of our writers is trying to become pregnant, it is frankly pathetic.

Anyways, if this is not your first visit to this blog, you know I have all the answers. No exception in this case. I found the text that kills, one we should read to immigrants to explain what happens in our home rather than to impose the ravings of a bunch of councilors frightened by the Arab religion. And so the next time imposed by the Immigration-Québec will ... [Drumroll] A Season in the Life of Emmanuel , Marie-Claire Blais.

Yes, we teach what this band excisers of lapidoptères, opponents of the coexistence of healthy men and women on the slopes skiing, explain to them what has made our people. Tell them what is good, the families of 16 children, the bitter hatred that crosses generations, resignation to a life as dull sky with a canvas Lemieux, the Catholic Church which the embalmed cadavers, the intimacy that always turns into rape and death that creeps under the door of the kitchen with the winter wind.

And sleep well, I can confirm that Hérouxvillains had reason: A Season in the Life of Emmanuel contains absolutely no invitation to burn women with acid.

Tamil Marriage Invitation Verses In Tamil

Truth comes from the mouth of Jos Binne

If I were banished to a desert island and that allowed me to bring one thing, I would choose the Bouchard-Taylor. A commission, two commissioners, over one hundred submissions. That's enough entertainment to last me the rest of my life. It is also an inexhaustible source of knowledge, a source that I really needed to nourish myself. And

force nourish myself, I finally reached the ultimate stage of wisdom, I discovered where the truth resides. Truth lives in Quebec. In fact, she stays in the brain of Jos Binne I've seen involving the Commission, in an isolated wetland that promotes germination. The Jos

Binne they worry about this symbol of oppression of women that is the imposition of Islamic headscarves. OBVIOUSLY it's a form of oppression being imposed on Muslim women. Almost all sentences that begin with the mention "we all know that", "of course" and other "it goes without saying."

"It goes without saying"? In my opinion, he should perhaps go on to say. Saying for example how it got this information exclusive. Saying how he also explains that the victims mentioned here are especially afraid of being saved.

I lived in Turkey for three years, a country 98% Muslim. If you read the Turkish newspapers, you see almost every day there showing off a raging debate about the headscarf. Search in this debate, what are the different views about the imposition of the headscarf.

Search, you will not find. The debate concerns the ban on wearing headscarves in universities and government buildings, absolutely not on its imposition anyone by anyone. Mind you, half the public Turkey is made up of Muslim women. It may be that this explains why public opinion (with some extremist secularists who, if Quebec would Pierre Falardeau ) considers that these women are able to dress themselves. They are endowed with free will. An approach in the genre SPCA ("little-kitty-pauv'-yourself-all-you-do muddy
-pity-you-can-do-anything-all-alone-there 's- just-me-to-
you-save ") is at best distasteful and at worst deeply contemptuous.

You may say that domestic violence is not rare in Turkey. Absolutely correct. I Even more, in a context where the husband is much more often in Quebec the only employee of the home, many victims are held captive by economic dependency, forced to tolerate the intolerable. But economic dependency is not fundamental to Islam.

Small exercise: Try to find a social practice or a cultural trait that:
-Exceeds the field of strictly spiritual
East ubiquitous in Indonesia, Azerbaijan and northern Nigeria, and unknown
East Thailand, Georgia and southern Nigeria.

If you find anything, congratulations you have just discovered an essential characteristic of Islam. Come share your discovery with Jos Binne above, "it goes without saying" that he already knew. And just as I say, because it makes me just eleven years studying the Muslim world and I would be totally unable to identify such an essential character.

Note, by dint of listening to the daily reports of the Commission, the Truth will perhaps eventually I get into the coconut.
