I personally feel extremely deflated by these developments. Equally disturbing is the remarkable apathy on Canadian news channels; the story is already forgotten on CBC. I don't see people around me caring about this enough. There are no demonstrations on the streets; the universities of Quebec don’t seem bothered.. It almost makes me feel that I must be crazy to feel so disheartened.. In Delhi I grew up around Sikhs particularly. Most wore turbans. To live in a society where they would be told---among others affected by this law, friends I knew who wore Kippahs, or Hijabs---that they are not welcome, that they cannot aim to become public servants, school teachers, that they are second class citizens, is incredibly hard to digest.

I'm trying to rally people in the department, and at the university level to put an official letter out against this bill. Can only hope it helps.
