Average québécois religion bill

Unpopular government shitting on minorities to shore up its popularity, aside from being morally reprehensible on its own, is literally how fascism is made.

turns out: hatred of muslims

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.

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

[–] moody@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 0 points 3 months ago

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

I don't see how this can be enforced without disallowing all public discourse. Maybe im reading it wrong.

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nah! You’re reading it right

Take a wild guess at who are praying in the streets in Quebec? The answer may surprise you

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Feels like anyone protesting with a bullhorn would be shut down. I mean whats a prayer vs whats any other talking.

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Exactly

And for answering my own question : catho-facist, I wish I was joking but the last public prayer in Quebec was Atalante (facist group in Quebec City) in front of the Jeanne d’Arc statue on Plaines d’Abraham and some crazy Catholic guru not far from Stu Pit (facist influencer) in Montreal sadly I don’t remember his name.

The two times multiple call were made to the police, didn’t do shit and one time they protected the facist against a counter protest

Oh. That's because Christianity is tradition.

They'll find an out the same way they found an out for having religious symbols in public property after bill 21.

Teachers can't wear religious symbols, you see? But schools, hospitals, streets, etc can have prominent religious symbols and names, I mean, if it's Catholic it's tradition, not religion.

Funnily enough (that’s not funny) there was no cross in the Assemblée Nationale (Québec Parliament) before Duplessis. One of the worst PM of the province. Each time a Quebecer is saying « that’s tradition » they’re lying to themselves
