Entry: Christ at the heart of Quebec Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/christ_at_the_heart_of_quebec#27638 Post contents: Well,Sean Scallon , they tryed, the government with various incitative programs in the last 15-20 years or so to boost the birth rates but in vain.The intitution of family went through big changes here as elsewere.Family, as community and then society, is a collective institution that fits bably in the individualistic todays society.You know, what it's count today is the individual, the god promoted by the political and economic system.But what is strange in that it's the fact that the individual needs the family, the community and the society, like a mirror, to show him self,to exhibit his self, to be valued. So to be short,not rise in the birthrates in the horizon and then Quebec needs the immigrants more that the immigrants need the Quebec. I can say again that the Quebec’s society is a good one , open and tolerant, much better than many other places. The immigrants, by definition, are mobile and the integration of them has its own dynamics. They dont care much about religious symbols what is counts is the every days life. The best way to integrate them is the integration through the working force, with good jobs and good salaries, not to marginalise them and not treat them as second or even third class citizens. We go through that every day be it with the accent, the name, the food and so on, the most of the time in a subtle way. Sent at: 2008 11 20
