My Response To The Charter

   Personally, I think that it's a very bold and dumb thing to do. Quebec is already inhabited with many ethnic and religious cultures. It's insane to just turn it all around in just one day. I mean, they might as well turn it into a communist country! There are so many people who believe in different things and wear the symbols of who they serve proudly. I don't know if it's for the economy problems or whatnot, but I feel like they either rushed this through, or cause a religious war.

   This reminds of the George Zimmerman case. As soon as he was "proven" guilty, there were riots everywhere. Especially in the ebony community. Even though it was a barbaric moment, it displayed the emotion of how they felt about the case. In relation to this subject. I have a feeling that something like that will happen, actually even worse. Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, etc, will truly make a huge mark in all worldwide history. The effects of the charter will be very severe. It'll probably cause a huge riot in that could damage the economy and province itself.

   I have three point in how it'll affect Quebec destructively. The first one is economically. There are many different races who take up many places in the jobs of Quebec, and they usually represent something to show who or what they represent. Once that charter becomes effective, many people can and will leave. The jobs that used to be occupied by different religious people will be gone. How will the economy will stable if the people that helped make the money disappear? Quebec will no longer have a stable way of taking of their land and will end up bankrupt.

   My second point is cultural wise. Before different nations came over, Quebec used to be just a one-people nation. Even most of the Indians gave in to the white people's ways. But ever since people from other nations came, Quebec became one of the most cultural place ever, filled with Asians, Africans, Spanish, and so much more. But that charter has now put a barrier to its cultural development. In other words, it's degrading. The flavor that spiced up the Quebec society will now die because of that charter. The French law in schools is already causing trouble for the people. But now I believe that it'll be the last straw. Because they're not able to express their religious freedom. They'll either revolt or just disperse from the land. It'll no longer be a colorful place. It'll just be a dull. French area.

   My last point is provincially. Why do I say that? Because in this day and age the majority of people are of different nation. There's at LEAST mixes from the Quebec people and other nations. They were raised with the family's views. Once you take away what they know, Quebec will lose itself. People will no longer want to live in place they can't represent who or what they serve. Quebec will truly lose itself. There will no longer be immigrants who will want to live there.

   That's my response to this ridiculous act. Even IF they've thought of it millions of times, they didn't think about it enough. Because they WILL lose people twice as fast it took for the dwellers in the 16th and 17th century to gain.
