Ronny Raygun did not bring down the USSR, they did. Raygun is what we called him (because of the failed star wars satilite fiasco) when he was in office and I see no reason to change that now.Unreasonable hate has no bounds.
As displayed by referring to the President who brought the Evil Empire to its knees as Raygun.
That is not only disrespectful, it is also stupid, and a piss poor attempt of a pun.
"Multiculturalism" comes with a lot of baggage and severing one component (religion) is regressive in terms of boasting about being multicultural. It sends the message that we (Canada) promote multiculturalism, but only if it doesn't involve religion... Pretty hollow words when it's put that way, isn't it?
However, if you want a more tangible argument, the non-secular population contributes equally into the tax base... Is it not "fair" that this group should have equal representation from the gvt services sector?
PS - Don't look it as "blaming" the leftards... Look it as accurately identifying the political ideology that initiated this failed policy.

Are you actually saying that insulting a President is disrespecful?

Hmm leftards.... Rightards has a much more comfortable fit to it. Thanks for the inspiration, CM.
In any case this has nothing to do with multiculturalism. You may not have noted it, but the government of Quebec doesn't really give a dam about multiculturalism; that seems to be a federal priority. What is does have to do with from the Quebec government's point of view is refusing to promote a religion's agenda with government cash. This is really a continuation of the struggle between the secular government of Quebec and the Catholic Church regarding the control of education. Since many daycare centres in Quebec also provide basic education or are even part of educational institutions this is just one more event in that battle. It took the government of Quebec several decades to wrestle control of the school system away from the Catholic Church. Adding government funded daycare centres to that is simply another step in the secularization of all educational facilities.
The truly non secular folks who are left do pay the same taxes as anybody else, but they get the same government services as anybody else. If the public system had to follow the will of every single individual, we'd never achieve anything.
Without religion we would have no source to reference our history. By the way Ronnie brought down the USSR and kept you in the bush. By the way if I'm not mistaken we destroyed a satellite with a missile while Reagan was President. He started the Star Wars program that we now have. Oh ya some think it was stopped. Nope, not then not now. I won't call anyone stupid either.Ronny Raygun did not bring down the USSR, they did. Raygun is what we called him (because of the failed star wars satilite fiasco) when he was in office and I see no reason to change that now.
It is disrespectful to say someone is stupid, Jack. And I was not making a pun. The guy played second fiddle to a chimp, Jack.

It would be very interesting to see the demographic breakdown on Quebec society/culture and consider the numbers... In the end, I can appreciate your comments, however, one could also make the argument (pending the population demographics) that there is the potential that the non-secular population is subsidizing the secular population.
Just a thought.
The USSR self destructed economically (just like the US is doing). Ronny just happened to be in office at the time. The original star wars system had lasers that would have burned all life from the planet had they ever been fired. Oh, and yes, the present system can read our license plates from space but they can't find bin Laden.Without religion we would have no source to reference our history.

No, I am saying that bad-mouthing and insulting President Reagan is disrespectful.
Ah, yes, that explains it.
One of the few Presidents to be in office while suffering from Alzheimers. I guess for that reason alone, people shouldn't poke fun at him.

Spying???...and that satellite was brought down in 2008 (for whatever it has to do with daycare in Quebec)
Could be.... It WAS a spy satellite ;-)There ya got me there, always wondered why "The Dog" (bounty hunter) didn't take on the bin Laden hunt.
Spying???
