The Quebec government says it will ban religious symbols in the province’s daycare centres.

Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge says there is a “broad consensus” that Quebecers want secularism to be strengthened.

The announcement follows a recommendation made this summer by a committee tasked with advising the province on how to enhance secularism. The committee had called for the ban to be extended to daycares.

Quebec has already banned public sector workers in positions of authority, such as teachers and judges, from wearing religious symbols on the job.

    our education system is in ruins, our healthcare system is even worse, people can’t pay for housing and groceries, and despite tons of budget cuts everywhere the provincial debt has never been worse.

    …but thankfully, the CAQ is here to fight the real issues: those darn Muslims doing childcare!!!
