Lets do referendum on Bill 101 in Montreal area.

In today’s the Gazette news I have read an article “Charest government's 'inertia' is eroding French: Marois Premier 'risks sowing disorder' in Montreal, PQ leader tells party”
(http://www.montrealgazette.com/life/Charest+government+inertia+eroding+French+Marois/2254695/story.html)


The lady says:

"Some people are angry now because they can see there is an erosion of French,"

Marois said.

"Right now I think (Charest) risks sowing disorder in a city like Montreal, which is our metropolis, because there are people who are getting more and more angry at the way French is being treated in Montreal.”

I want to comment on this one that there some people are angry on how English is treated in Montreal and in Quebec in general and I think PQ and existing legislation risks sowing disorder in a city like Montréal.

"Inertia and inaction also produce opposition, objections and social problems. Right now I think Mr. Charest is sending a very bad message to Quebecers.

So if I understand correctly this “prominent“ lady wants to say that Mr. Charet is not promoting new discriminatory legislations against Canadian official language English and that makes her upset.

"The current government is so inert, so disinterested in identity questions, questions of French and culture that we have to shake things up. They are not the ones who will defend French."

With relation to her previous citation she says that Liberals not making enough discriminatory unconstitutional laws but PQ will do that.

She said

when the PQ first created Bill 101 there were warnings of unrest, but today the charter is a "source of pride" for Quebecers.

But for me it is source of shame and misfortune that such a bill exists so don't speak from all Quebecers.



The rest of the article was about French in Montreal. However lets touch bases on this one. If I am not mistaken there is more allophones and Anglophone students in Montreal then francophone if Madam from PQ is so much fun of referendums lets make a referendums in Montreal on the bill 101 and other language issue to determine what Montréalers want, since population of Montreal differs from the rest of Quebec.


Madam Marois you are so concerned on what people want and what makes them angry , don’t you want to know what residents of Montreal want? If you really mean what you say just push for a referendum on usage of bill 101 in Montreal area. And if there will be no 101 on Montreal area you will not need to worry about French in Montreal any more.

As they say “No bill No problems.”

Punish the victims

My college received a fine of 45 CAD in Montreal since he forgot to close his car in public place . The Fine was placed on the driver seat. I have found an article online that describes the reasons for this legislation: (http://www.yourperth.ca/KanataKourier/article/4881)

My opinion that this is outrages, this law is not constitutional, I can do anything I want with my property keep it locked or unlocked it is my personal choice.

I can compare this legislation to giving fines to the ladies with deep cleavage or mini, since they are potentially seducing rapists and how much money it cost to investigate a rape and to recover the rape victim.

This is outrages that the potential victim of the crime is punished for being potential victim.

As well from the practical prospective people do not keep they car unlocked in purpose and everybody is aware that somebody can get in an steal stuff it happens by accident so the fine will really do not do any good as preventive measure it will just bring some extra money to the budget.

CLSC in Canada , Quebec

Canada is great country, however after I have lived here for 5 years I realized how poor is a health care system is relatively to general prosperity of this country. If by recent survey Canada quality of life on 7th place Canada health care is at 22 place (if health care was better general Canada location at this survey will be also higher of course) http://www.prosperity.com/rankings.aspx

Since I have 2 small kids that get sick more often then usual I have a lot of experience with the system.


Just yesterday I had some experience in CLSC , usually we do not go to CLSC since we don’t really understand the purpose of this place.
There is a doctors and there is hospitals and there is 811 health phone line.


But Yesterday it looked to me as the right place to go , my younger son fall down on the floor and open up his lip. He was bleeding a lot and his lower lip kind of opened up into 2 pieces , so I was not worried about his general health but my concern was regarding aesthetic aspect of this trauma if I should put stitches’ on it or not to prevent the scar. I could not determine it myself because I have lack of experience on this subject, so I needed somebody to tell me. For this reason I have decided to go to the closest CLSC. I came in at the evening about 7 and I was the only person there, besides me they had receptionist some facility manager and nurse.

After I gave my card to the receptionist I got in pretty quick.
Actually when we came in front of nurse my son lip closed up into 1 piece and hasn’t looked as bad as it was originally. The nurse told us it is ok and we don’t need the stitches so I was relieved with it. However she also told me that I should use judgment before coming to the CLSC and in situation like this I should not come , since we all pay taxes and each visit cost money to tax payers. As well I put extra pressure on the system and even that today there is nobody but for example yesterday they were busy in the CLSC.

It all has been told in the nice form and have been mentioned that she doesn’t want to insult me, so I was not insulted. But as result I have few questions:

1) Why CLS exists and the nurse is located there? Isn’t it one of the goals is for situations like this when I can’t determine the gravity of health condition so in order not to go to doctor I would rather go to CLSC to help me to determine the situation?

2) There already 3 workers in CLSC when I came in and zero patients isn’t a patient is a means to justify they presence there?(if we already talk about taxpayers money)

3) How the fact that the CLSC was busy a day before is relevant on telling me not to create extra pressure on CLSC any more?

H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu)

Currently all my family has a swine flu including myself.
The doctors do not want to test us if this is actually H1N1 but as they say, most probably it is. Since we were not able to get vaccinated before we actually got the flu it I have few comments on this issue.

Vaccination:

1)Timing of the vaccination
It was too late, at the day we wanted to do the vaccination we already got the flu.

2)Paid vaccination: would really help , if it was possible to do vaccinations at early times with the first wave we would be probably safe. The factor of cost lets say 100 CAD per vaccine with your
own family doctor would filter the people who do not really think they are at risk zone and would take some presser from the vaccination centers.

3)The way vaccination is done:
Grouping so many people in same location during the pandemic makes no sense to me. The vaccination will start helping in 2 weeks, when you go to vaccination center you are very likely to get the virus yourself so I don’t know what will be the side effect on getting the vaccine and the virus at the same time?
