Pictured above is a political cartoon about Bill 101. Bill 101 was put into place to make French the dominant language in Quebec in response the domination of English in Quebec. It made signs on stores have to be in French, courts in Quebec are spoken exclusively in French among other changes. These policies were tweaked, and for good reason. Canada is a bilingual country. I think it's ok to make French more prominent to reaffirm their culture. I also think it's not ok to shut out the English language entirely. These policies were changed so that signs could display English (with the catch being the font had to be smaller for English), courts could be held French or English among other things. In my opinion, the original Bill 101 was one step forward, two steps back. The tweaked Bill 101 is much better and achieves it's goals while still leaving room for anglophones in Quebec.
The Oka Crisis or Kanesatake Resitstence was the conflict between the Mohawk communities of Akwesasne, Kanesatake and Kahnawake. The conflict arose out a land dispute over the expansion of a golf course. This golf course was to built on Mohawk land, specifically over a cemetery. This decision was protested by locals and a blockade was set up to halt the construction. After a Quebec court ordered the Groupe d'Intervention to break up the blockade. The conflict escalated with one Groupe d'Intervention operative being killed by a Mohawk warrior and the Canadian Forces were sent in. In the end the construction of the golf course was dropped and the Mohawk people got to keep their land. In my opinion this never should have happened, if the Quebec court had made any efforts at all to get the input of the Mohawk people the crisis could have been averted. *Cough cough* reasonable accommodation.
Baltej Singh Dhillon is an RCMP officer that fought the system to be able to wear religious clothing. Dhillon came to Canada from Malaysia and his Sikh faith demands he wear a turban, and have long facial hair (beard). The RCMP has strict regulations on the uniforms that it's officers wear. As a result of this Dhillon was told to decide to keep his faith or his job *cough cough* contending loyalties. He fought this by taking it to court and winning, through winning this case he has set a precedent allowing others to have reasonable accommodation. In my opinion, the outcome is a good compromise. Because there is a line, wearing religious that severely hinders your ability to do your job or threatens your safety should not be allowed by any means. Something as inconsequential as a turban should definitely be allowed (which it is now).
