When are they going to learn that collaborating or appeasing the forces of chaos doesn't work? It's time to bust a few thousand heads and restore the order of law that's crucial if a civil society is supposed to function effectively.

We do the same in Quebec, because repression is soooo evil and yankee/right-winged.

[Proculation]

I don't understand that way to manifest: burn cars. I guess it's a French thing... They do that a lot.

The people of France have used civil disobedience since the revolution. It was a means to do away with an autocrat king and they use it to-day to get a message across to the government. They are known for taking a stand and action. There are many political issues driving these riots and unemployment is one of them... Unlike Canada whose people quietly take it up the ass and allow our autocrat ruler to parogue parliament having done little about the economy or unemployment, other than a few month tax breaks which will end in February. And put the working of the country on hold..Europeans take action..

French youth are suffering.

Unemployment there is brutal. It's 12% on a good year. Being black, brown or muslim is a guarantee that no matter what degree one holds it won't land them a job. And France is probably (I say probably because it refuses to take a census) the most multi-ethnic country in Europe, and perhaps in the western hemisphere. France's muslim population is 10%, mostly north Africans, blacks % ranges in estimate from 4% to 10% also, perhaps even higher, and of course Asians and others add to quite a mix.

France is at least 20% 2nd generation immigrant, these people can't get jobs so they riot.

Be happy your youth can find jobs in Canada. I don't want my car torched.

I know alot of young guys who can't find jobs.. unemployment isn't exactly at an all time low in Canada either...

Correct, but it is close to what we had during the last Liberal years even without a recession

Yes, but in Canada unemployment is more egalitarian. So youth have nothing to rally around.

In France unemployment is selective, usually a muslim or African sounding name is enough to get a resume binned.

In Canada while not perfect, a John Smith can have his resume binned as quickly as an Omar Hassan.

Maybe John Smith didn't have the right qualifications.

Its qualifications that matter not what a name sounds like, isn't that what people have been preaching for the last 40 years? Well, it's about time it was put into practice and for all players to put those race cards down.

Canada certainly is way ahead of France in this respect.

Thats true enough... but its whats on the resume that should decide who gets binned.

It does not! affirmative action!!!! It gives preference to minoroties.

its called employment equity in Canada.

Canada. The equality section of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms explicitly permits affirmative action type legislation, although the Charter does not require legislation that gives preferential treatment. Subsection 2 of Section 15 states that the equality provisions do "not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability." The Canadian Employment Equity Act requires employers in federally-regulated industries to give preferential treatment to four designated groups: Women, people with disabilities, aboriginal people, and visible minorities. In most Canadian Universities, people of Aboriginal background normally have lower entrance requirements and are eligible to receive exclusive scholarships. Some provinces and territories also have affirmative action-type polices. For example, in Northwest Territories in the Canadian north, aboriginal people are given preference for jobs and education and are considered to have P1 status. Non-aboriginal people who were born in the NWT or have resided half of their life there are considered a P2, as well as women and disabled people
