SOCI 310 Lecture Notes - Canadian Identity
Document Summary
Not very many immigrants in the town: -promoting democracy in an undemocratic way. Maybe had lots of immigrants, but then didn"t know what to do with them, and made this. A tactic to avoid their past existence-ie. if they came from an undemocratic, unstable nation, then basically this act is saying, if you live like this, you"re guaranteed a safe, comfortable life (which has some truth in it) But quebec was discriminated against themselves by the english speaking. However, because in smaller town they don"t really have english speakers there. Maybe not a quebec problem, but a small-town problem. Media reports a quebec problem fear of a lost identity in quebec: more fear of islam in quebec, bc much more connected to france. In france, huge concern and fear about muslim population- anti-immigration sentiment in canada, after 9/11, not a good place to be muslim-lots of propaganda attacks at.
