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.
tbh most of the rules in the law are much more reasonable than they sound, the only thing that’s really objectionable is the hijab ban. And even then if you were hired before nover 7th you’re exempt afaik.
It’s banning rooms explicitely for prayer, so you can still have an empty room meant for prayer, just needs to allow other things as well.
That sounds remarkably …sane and balanced if that’s the ruling. Are we sure this is the CAQ?

Hijab Ban is fine if they also ban any kind of hat, cap, furry head gear, veils in weddings, etc.
