I’ve always felt that Quebec has been on the right side of these kinds of issues. They get heat for anti-Islam rhetoric but they apply the rules to all religions, which IMO is the right approach.

Are you kidding me? They would have renamed all the "St" streets and neighborhoods and removed religious symbols from schools and other public buildings.

But I live in "Ville Marie", Mount royal has a prominent cross, streets have names like Saint Antoine. Near my house there is a public school with a huge religious statue.

Bill 21 is not pro laicity if the state. For that I'd be in favour. But anything Catholic is "tradition" so it gets a pass.

On paper it might look good but I'm not convinced that's true in practice. This one is pretty overreaching in my opinion.

Remember when they banned religious symbols in government buildings... except for the Catholic cross at the National Assembly?

Lol they don't apply the rules to all religions... The CAQ will bend over backwards to allow Catholic stuff arguing its part of our culture.

They don’t apply the rules to all religion equally

That still does nothing to justify why the rules should even exist.
