It is very interesting to see the pendulum swing. I do find the title misleading as the article appears to only apply to wearing religious symbols and it only applying to new employees as already employed are exempt.

It also doesn’t seem to differentiate between public, private or subsidized daycares. Lots of open air in this article.

Hate is growing in Quebec and Canada is general due to conservatives and ultranationalists(PQ) anti imigration stand and the propaganda of islamists are trying to impose Sharia law and change our culture as if culture never involved before and influence other cultures. A 1600 canadian is different culturally than a 2020 canadian

I’m conflicted on this one. It seems to be framed as hateful against Middle-eastsrn religions in particular, but doesn’t it restrict ALL religious symbols? I’m all for less religion in public places, regardless of the religion.

Hopefully, my edit makes it clear enough.

The moment the satanic church notices their under-reresentation and fixes it, you’ll see everyone on-board for purely secular daycares.

Other than Manitoba, it’s the most racist and intolerant province I’ve lived in.

How’s this going to fly for indigenous symbols?

I’m Canadian, pro-immigration, and yet I don’t believe religious symbols belong in a child’s daycare or school, regardless of the religion. I agree with this move.

What worry me is those kind of things.

Why I didn’t hear him criticize this

I don’t think telling what sign a person use is something the state need to be involved in . I’m not that serious about this but maybe Paul can remove st aka saint from his name

He also complained about a lapresse article talking about the increase of anti immigrant sentiment where more Quebecor think immigration contribute the increase of criminality

He also believe in the Initiative du siècle which is the same rhetoric of the grand replacement as both promote the extreme fear of demographic changes

The giant cross on the top of Mount Royal is a religious symbol too so they should remove it asap.

If you have additional information that contradicts it, I’d happy to see it. I don’t live in Quebec, and only know what I know.

I mean the Yahweh cult and it’s different sects (Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc.) comes from an ancient middle-eastern religion. It’s also the deadliest and most violent cult/ideology in the history of mankind. Wearing a cross, star or moon is pretty much the same thing as wearing a swastika, except maybe worse.

I don’t, and i don’t live in canada, nor i care about the politics too much, that’s why i’m here to see what’s up, and i find taking an 2013 image from the government proposal at the time and without context is a bit disingenuous.

I took it from a news article from last week, which suggests pretty strongly that that proposal is exactly what was implemented, and they never produced an updated graphic.

But again, I’d welcome a genuine correction.

Again, i don’t really care, i’m providing context you purposely left out.

I linked to the article!

The bill is still being debated in the supreme court. A timeline with more details and updates can be found here: https://ccla.org/major-cases-and-reports/bill-21/

That said, the Quebec government has been pretty fucking hostile to people who wear religious symbols. The original article frames it as residual tensions from the French Catholic chuch but a big part of it is definitely xenophobia and racism. Montreal and Quebec City are progressive havens in a land of very small, very white, very religious towns.

Thank you - this is what I’m here for.
