She does not know about you, but Bambi is sick and tired of both secular and religious ideologies (e.g., woke and Islamism). So imagine when the latter collide in Canada and in the world.
She is fed up of the identity-politics of the Middle East that Ottawa insists on bringing into Québec (https://shorturl.at/nK9Po). Indeed, why is Ms. Amira Elghawaby now recommending hiring more Muslim, Palestinian or Arab Professors in Québec’s CEGEPs and universities? If competent candidates who happen to be Muslim,Palestinian, or Arab of origins get a teaching position based on merit, welcome to them and… “mabrouk” [Congrats] even. Otherwise, no sorry. In other terms, they must compete with the rest of their fellow candidates of all other ethnolinguistic background, including the silent majority of French-Canadians (or Québécois).
Because she values the quality of the education she received in Québec, Bambi joins her voice to Québec Minister of Higher Education, Ms. Pascale Déry, who asks for Ms. Elghawaby to resign. Even more so, she joins her voice to Mr. Yves-François Blanchet, Leader of the Bloc Québécois demanding the abolishing of Ms. Elghawaby’s position, which is supposedly to fight Islamophobia.
There is a difference between fighting Islamophobia and destroying the merit-based system of hiring in Québec or Canada. PLEASE stop using the Arab, Muslim, or Palestinian characteristics to justify your ideologies or elite positions, and to interfere with Québec’s (or other provinces’) education system.
For God/G-D/Allah’s sake, Bambi begs you not to turn Canada into Lebanon. The latter has been destroyed in the past, and is struggling to keep existing, because of identity politics. Indeed, it is both unwise and dangerous to keep dividing us. When it is not by colour skin, it is by gender. When it is not by gender, it is by vaccine status. If it is not by all the latter, it is by religion.
As a proud Canadian, with Québec in her heart, Bambi migrated from Lebanon in 1990 to move away from religion-based (or other tribal-based) identity politics. She does not want it to follow her to Canada now in 2024!
Do we think by hiring more from specific group based on religion, race, gender and etc.
not based on merit, we can put an end to (religion phobia, race phobia, gender phobias and etc.
in our towns, provinces and all over Canada?
Question?
How can we be fair to all Canadians?
Dear Prime Minister and all politicians,
you are representing all of us as a Canadian including (around 25 religions and over 450 “ethnic or cultural origins”.
Please refer to the below data from Statistics Canada,
Table: 98-10-0353-01, Release date: 2023-06-21
Religion:
Buddhist Christian Christian, n.o.s.6 Anabaptist Anglican Baptist Catholic
Christian Orthodox Jehovah’s Witness Latter Day Saints Lutheran
Methodist and Wesleyan (Holiness) Pentecostal and other Charismatic Presbyterian Reformed United Church Other Christian and Christian-related traditions Hindu Jewish Muslim Sikh Traditional (North American Indigenous) spirituality
Other religions and spiritual traditions No religion
Race:
According to the 2021 Canadian census, over 450 “ethnic or cultural origins”
If Native North American were/are so kind to let us live in this land with all challenges had to face and facing even now, and name this land Canada, we should all be respectful to their sacrifices and find solutions instead of creating challenges for all.
Viva Canada
What a thoughtful comment, Bambi thanks you Rose so much. Indeed, how is it fair to all Canadians?
these government establishment elites are addicted to identity politics. they think meritocracy is passé. unfortunately if we don’t speak up, they will in fact turn Canada into Lebanon.
The Ambassador from Kebekistan has spoken and finally I agree with her on this topic. 🙂
Have a great day, Bambi!
You are hilarious, Fred, Bambi is saying. Have a good evening!
I AGREE A MILLION % WITH YOUR PROTEST !!! AS A PERSON BORN & RESIDING HERE
FOR OVER 80 YEARS …. QUE. , AS A FOUNDER OF A ” SMALLER ” CANADA … FRICTION WAS
ALWAYS PRESENT …. WITH OTHER PROVINCES IN TERMS OF PORTIONAL SHARING AND THE
CONTROL IN OTTAWA . I DO NOT SAY THIS TO BE ANTAGONISTIC . JUST HISTORIC.
IN MY TIME I HAVE WATCHED TENSION & JUGGLING TO ACCOMIDATE .
THE OBSTICLES HAVE GROWN LARGER AND MORE DIVISIONAL AS TIME PASSES . THESE
HIRING TACTICS WILL ( MY OPINION ) WILL ENCOURAGE MORE DIVISION IN OUR CULTURE ,
UNLIKE … NEWCOMERS LIKE BAMBI ….. WHO HAVE ENRICHED AND ASSIMILATED INTO OUR MIDST … BRINGING ART , MUSIC , & INTELLIGENCE TO AID FELLOW CANADIANS … WHILE FULLY
ACCEPTING EQUALLY ALL THAT WE IN CANADA HAD TO OFFER WITH LOVE & ENTHUSIASM .
SHE CHOSE … CANADA , SHE CAME WITH GIFTS …. TO BE A PART OF US .
THANK YOU Russ
Bambi thanks you Russ for your thoughtful and kind comment.
