Banning prayers in the street is fine, what is the reason for banning prayer rooms? In some places, these are also meditation rooms.

Btw, same guy who said they support illegal attack by US and Israel.

Do you think this would help or hurt QAC polling numbers?

Doesn't matter, they're dead anyways.

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.

So wait, what happens to all the chapels in hospitals and such? Or is this solely applicable to universities/cegep and not much else?

Which is still convoluted considering the McGill campus is both an educational facility and a hospital so which way does that lean…?

That sounds remarkably ...sane and balanced if that's the ruling. Are we sure this is the CAQ?

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.

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

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

They are banned. This is about teachers and educators, they already were not allowed to wear headgear, but religious stuff was exempted, until now.
