Quebec will now ban street prayers as the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) “super-minister” of identity, Jean-François Roberge, has just passed his bill to strengthen secularism.
The problem with this is that it overwhelmingly targets muslims. Christians don’t wear specific things as part of their religion(and will conveniently get passes for “cultural/historic reasons”, I doubt they’ll be too mad about the stuff that the jews in Mile End wear, and they’ll certainly not change the crazy catholic names of many of the schools and hospitals in the province, but they will and have fired people over the hijab.
It’s a blantant attack on a specific group because the CAQ is a useless, racist organization intent on letting the entire province fall to pieces because they only have a handful of angry, misfiring braincells between them.
I also think religion is dumb but you don’t solve it this way. The CAQ spends more energy on this than it does fixing the healthcare issues and that’s so fucking embarrassing.
