Federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson: Quebec

Quebec Dept: Wait a minute. Such generalizations may contain elements of truth, according to Montreal Gazette. Quebec Justice Minister Jean-Marc Fournier has shown convincingly that youth crime is under control here and today's teenage cohort is taking of a lot of flak. Federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson says the Harper government's tough anticrime bill would lower the boom on "out-of-control young people." Social critics, meanwhile, describe a self-centred generation whose members lionize themselves narcissistically on Facebook, show little empathy for the unfortunate, indulge in rampant plagiarism with essays swiped off the Internet and, by turning their backs on religion, learn too little about ethics. But such an unfriendly perspective ignores a much larger reality when it comes to youth in Quebec and perhaps elsewhere in Canada, too, but I'll confine myself to Quebec . (www.immigrantscanada.com).
