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.
It’s already infuriating living in Canada, everyone is drowning in rent and food costs and all the government does is debate loggin contracts, foreign diplomacy and how to help the citizens of other countries. Not once do they actually bother to deal with the everyday issues that are drowning us. Quebec is 100x worse in this sense. Rent control and food assistance? Nah, we banned muslims instead!
