Religion Based Discrimination
Freedom being defined as: When we are all equal, have the same access to same resources, protected by same laws. The "ONE" has the same rights as the "WHOLE". Gays and Lesbians have a right to become a union to marry. A male-lawyer/judge is allowed to have long-hair in a pony-tail, in court, before public. When beyond our control; that we were born as a Boy not a Girl, of White-Caucasian not Black, to Irish parents not Indus. Not being afraid of exposing one self’s identity, instead of hiding behind fake names. One is being able to publish opinion. One is able to accept others' freedoms. Following the law, while, St-Mary’s- Hospital, in Montreal, a public-hospital subsidized by the government, allowed displaying religion-icons over its public-places, including in the patient's room above his bed? How do these religion-icons, at St-Mary’s-Hospital, help performing hospital's tasks? In which way, do they have anything to do with the operation of a hospital? Are the patients in better hands & looked after better, with the icons, than without them? Is a TAXI of a less of a public-place than St-Mary’s-Hospital? Are you of a less worth, than someone else? Which law am I to follow? Our young-boys gave their lives in WW2, so we could be free to remember, remembering by displaying. I fail to see the connection between language and freedom? Is it to be implied that our young-boys, were all French-speaking? My name: Arieh Perecowicz. You may find me, and my story, aired on CBC-TV-NEWS, on YouTube at:

Our Canadian Veteran WW2 Memorial Poppy
[Mood: Very Sad]
Do you feel that the Canadian-Veteran-Memorial-Poppy is for display on November 11 @ 11 hour, for two minutes only?
Do you feel that the place of the Poppy, being displayed, is on your lapel only?
Do you feel that displaying the Poppy throughout the year, beyond November 11, diminishes the cause?

Our Rights in Our Place of Work
[Mood: Confused]
Do you feel that photo(s), of love-ones, are acceptable, and to be allowed in a TAXI-car?
Do you feel that photo(s), of any kind, are NOT to be allowed in a Public-Transport vehicle?
Some YES, some NOT? Ex.: Wife/husband/daughter/son/father/mother/girlfrieng/boyfriend/dog/cat, etc?
Will the photo(s) cause a distraction?
Will the photo(s) diminish the quality of the taxi-ride?
Will the photo(s) be offensives?
Will they infringe on someone else rights?
Is it unprofessionally to have photo(s) in Public-Transportation?
Is paying for the ride buy you ownership of the ride?
Will the taxi-car look/feel being messy--untidy?
Would you feel uncomfortable/ rather have the taxi-car an empty cubical-shell?
Are there any comments/responses, out there, from anyone, regarding your rights at your work-place?
The first thing noticable in the video report is the "ignorance" of one of the reporter and the news editor(s). The reporter calls it "Mezulah" in her video report (0:38), while it is actually called "Mezuzah".
Mezuzah: Parchment scroll inscribed with Jewish scripture, placed in a case, and attached to the doorpost of a house or place.
