We learned from the above article that Black Lives\nMatter (BLM) is to be painted on the streets of Halifax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do Canadian politicians always feel the need for virtue signalling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why can\u2019t they be genuinely respectful of all citizens\nwithout having to show the whole world how good they are, how morally noble,\nand even superior to the rest of us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw the same phenomenon with Montr\u00e9al Mayor, Ms. Mayor Val\u00e9rie Plante, another highly illuminated politician. She seems to have forgotten to consult her citizens on this matter. Perhaps she so much wants to be part of the latest global fashion that she often genuinely forgets that her metropolitan city remains part of the province of Qu\u00e9bec, which the last time Bambi checked, was still in Canada (not in the USA). If you do not believe Bambi, go listen to Ms. Plante\u2019s first official speech as a Mayor. She spoke to her citizens in English, imagine (not even French, the official language of her province!). Her excuse was that she forgot which language she was speaking ?. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To come back to Halifax now, did its regional municipality\nimpose its illuminated ideology on Haligonians, like Ms. Plante (https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/7176516\/black-lives-matter-street-sign\/<\/a>)?\nOr did they think of asking their citizens how they feel prior to their\ndecision? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although she may be wrong, Bambi suspects that only a\nminority of hardcore activists may be all for BLM paintings. Some may be too na\u00efve\nto realize the implications of such movements with their unrealistic demands. In\ncontrast, most of the people likely do not endorse this radical movement. For\nthem, all lives matter. In other terms, you or Bambi do not matter neither more\nnor less because of so-called skin colour (or whatever race-based descriptive).\nWe are all Canadians. We all deserve respect, regardless of our ethnolinguistic\nbackground. We all have a responsibility toward our city and country. We are\nall citizens to the same extent and under the same rule of law.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are blessed to live in a country that, although VERY\nfar from being perfect, is likely one of the most beautiful places in the world!\nSo, please let\u2019s not import slogans that, even if they sound empty to some,\nthey can be used to divide us, regardless of any noble intentions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
