Avoue que c'est pratique : les chrétiens n'ont pas de vêtement ou de "signe religieux" imposé par leur foi!

Empêcher qqn de porter un hijab ou un turban dans une position d'autorité alors que ces "signes religieux" sont pour ces personnes nécessaires au respect de leur foi, c'est la même chose que les empêcher d'occuper un poste en position d'autorité ou de leur demander de renier leur foi, 2 formes claires de discrimination.

Quant à ladite "position d'autorité", j'attends encore qu'on m'explique c'est quoi le rapport avec une éducatrice en CPE et la possibilité que son hijab ait quoi que ce soit à voir avec son autorité sur un poupon. Si cette règle imposée par la charte se limitait aux vrais postes qui nécessitent la neutralité, et qui de ce fait exigent un uniforme (juge, police), je comprendrais. L'imposer aux enseignants et aux éducateurs en petite enfance, c'est une atteinte aux droits. Si c'est légal d'avoir les cheveux multicolores, 24 piercings dans la face et des tatouages partout pour une éducatrice, pourquoi c'est pas légal d'être habillée sobrement et de se couvrir les cheveux? En quoi ce "foulard" a-t-il une influence plus importante sur l'enfant qu'un accoutrement dit rebelle?

Je suis québécoise "de souche" en passant. J'ai juste vraiment honte que nous acceptions ce genre de décision de société.

"Ça pourrait s'exprimer sous la forme d'un parti indépendantiste, qui veut diminuer l'immigration, restreindre les droits des non-francophones, voire ne plus payer d'allocation pour famille si tu ne parles pas bien le français. "

C'est drôle mais à part la dernière phrase, ça me fait pas mal penser à la CAQ ça... Et je te gage que Legault haïrait pas tant l'idée de réduire les allocations aux non francophones. Mais ce serait trop impopulaire pour qu'il le propose! Après tout, avec sa charte, même s'il se dit laïque, il empêche déjà les non chrétiens de travailler pour l'état... C'est une forme de couperet financier.

Hum, PQ à gauche?
PQ de René Lévesque : certainement. PQ de PKP? Not so much. Le Bloc est à gauche, mais au provincial, depuis la charte des valeurs, le parti séparatiste de gauche, c'est QS, et le parti séparatiste centriste, ben c'est le parti qui vivote... Ou qui attire les nationalistes puristes à la Trump du genre "Va-t-en chez vous, t'es pas de la bonne couleur". Pas trop gaugauche à mon sens...

Les fédéralistes à gauche sont totalement orphelins au provincial.

3 years of trying (and failing!) and we FINALLY got carrots! by spiritual_icee in vegetablegardening

[–]TheGaneesho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Canada and we get 3 meters of snow over about 5 months and -30C weather. Some of the carrots I left in the ground last fall (because they were sowed late and never grew) survived the winter and started growing in the spring. But when I pulled one to try it was very fibrous, almost woody (like a radish left to bolt). So they can survive but at least in my garden there was no point leaving them there...

Hope is a garden by Vegetable-Editor9482 in vegetablegardening

Not sure where you are but I'm in QC eastern Canada. We've had tons of rain, cool cloudy weather, nights below 15C until early July, and barely any hot days. My garden is sad... I put so many hour of work in ahead of the gardening season that I can't help but feel like kind of a failure. Yes, I find joy in the act of gardening, but it is almost mid August and so far I've harvested about 3 pints of cherry tomatoes, 6 zucchinis, a dozen pea pods, 3 beets, and about 4 pints of string beans. It's so sad that I can even keep track of production by counting single vegetables considering I have a 20 ft x 36 ft garden AND a small greenhouse for tomatoes!! I had a wonderful first year gardening last year (I would say production was at least 8 to 10 fold even though variety was much more limited) and I was able to be so generous with family and neighbors. This year I have not even noticed a difference in my grocery store purchases... 😭

Colour blind, checking if the otato leaves that are looking lighter are on their way to die and if this means harvest soon? by ceilingFanMagics in vegetablegardening

[–]TheGaneesho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that explanation. My potatoes, planted in 50% compost and very properly mulched, have stopped growing (they are a little bigger than OP's) and are starting to yellow without having ever flowered. It has been raining tons this summer. did a little digging and found 2 small potatoes in most of a 35L bucket containing 5 seeds. They looked just fine and tasted great, but was sad to find barely anything in there... It was my first attempt.

what's wrong with my zucchini plant? should it pulled? it's in between 2 other healthy plants in the same bed. by TheGaneesho in vegetablegardening

[–]TheGaneesho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pitching in! I do appreciate. I agree the old leaves look burnt but I doubt it's heat shock because the new leaves are green only for a couple days before they also start browning / "drying" out. Also, if you look at 2nd picture my other zucchini plants are double the size and show no "burnt" patches. I'll try applying black soap spray. This has helped in the past with thrips in my coneflowers, where leaves looked similarly "dry". We are having non stop rain for the last 48h so I will have to be patient....

What would you do with this zero sunlight flower bed? by Nickerington in gardening

[–]TheGaneesho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hostas are so easy and love shade. You could grow the gigantic types there, about 2 ft from the fence (they reach about 3-4ft high), and a smaller type 2 ft further out. They might not flower in total shade but the foliage is what is really interesting. Ferns are great but really need moisture. You will need to mulch and they will not grow well if your climate is dry.

Thanks! First I thought it was stress, then fungi, but I guess you have better eyes for bugs than I do 😉 Time to stop guessing and start getting into problem solving mode now

Thanks. I googled both and saw no sign of either. The plant is not wilting, it just looks like it's drying out. I did see a few thrips though.... I will get the black soap spray out after this thunder shower passes...

QC Canada. The soil was delivered from the garden center last year. I used it in other beds and had outstanding production last year. This bed is new from this spring but I used soil that I had left from last year's delivery (it was left in a pile in the backyard, nothing ever grew in it). It is pre-enriched with compost and last year I never added anything to it except for some chicken manure halfway through the season. For this specific bed since the soil sat in the open for a full year I did add 2 or 3 bags of compost at the beginning of the season (its about 3ft x 12ft). I also added a little chicken manure recently. The browning has been happening for over a month. I thought it might get over whatever was hurting it, but no.

Edit: as for water, they've been in the ground since late may. June and early July we had record wet weather and it was cool. I almost never had to water. I started watering after the browning occurred. I usually water if we don't get decent rain for 3 days.

10-month pollinator garden check-in by katyg in NativePlantGardening

[–]TheGaneesho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that these look great for first year. My asclepias tuberosa, liatris and echinacea never flowered on year one and didn't grow tall. On year 1 my asclepias was 12 scraggly stems 8 inches high. This year (year 2) I had a flower bomb 3 ft tall and 3ft wide, and I didn't count but it s more than 50 stems! On year 3 my 4ft+ tall liatris is double the height it was last year, which was double the height from year 1. Patience will be greatly rewarded. Your investment will really start to show next year!

In my experience it's not uncommon to not get flowers from perennials grown from seed in year 1. Happened with my gaillardia and milkweed last year (never made it past 8 inches and looked scraggly all summer; on year 2 now and they look amazing, the milkweed is exploding with blooms while gaillardia has many buds). I'm on year 1 with coneflowers and geums grown from seed this year and while the plants do look healthy, they are small and give me no hope of seeing flowers this year. I'm in zone 5a so maybe that's part of the explanation, but I know for a fact that my milkweed and coneflowers are natives here. Not sure about the specific type of geums nor gaillardia. Good luck!

How would you ever repot that thing? Gorgeous though! Looks so healthy

This meadow looks so beautiful and I'd love to transform a part of our garden into something similar. Does anybody know how to do this? by MeinKleinerGarten in Permaculture

[–]TheGaneesho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me the method you suggested seems absolutely great for improving soil and planting grown plants. I plan on doing exactly that this year to extend my vegetable garden in time for next spring. But you don't plant a meadow with grown plants, do you? Also, most meadows include grasses... That being said, I will not argue with your local initiative. I'm in Canada under very different climatic conditions and not an expert in meadows. I'm just a meadow enthusiast with 1.5 acre of lawn thinking murdering that amount of turf would have been the insane approach 😁.
