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.
The giant cross on the top of Mount Royal is a religious symbol too so they should remove it asap.
It's not a daycare though. Neither is the oratory.
There’s a bunch of cross on school outer wall troughs out Quebec. The CAQ didn’t see it important to rip them out because « they’re patrimoine »
Hypocritical fuckers
The moment the satanic church notices their under-reresentation and fixes it, you'll see everyone on-board for purely secular daycares.

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 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.
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.
Again, i don't really care, i'm providing context you purposely left out.
appropriate username
More like annoying_attitude. ValueSub deserves better.
Provide immediate context is bad. Got it.
I linked to the article!
Yes but i have to scroll waaaaay down to the picture only to find it is a picture from waaaay back. I'm not saying you are, but i often find people who have the intention to mislead tend to post it this way.
Just underneath that picture it says it was not implemented.

It's Quebec. they love to pick and choose their hate. yes it's specifically targeted towards Muslims, no they wont' remove Christian symbols, yes Quebec has always been pithy like this.
Remember back in the 90s when they wanted to ditch us but keep the money? this is just more pithy Quebecois bullshit.
Bigoted piece of shit.
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.
