that is a silly comment:
those huge churches in Montreal are not "public sector workers"; that is the entire extent of the proposed restriction
anybody can belong to any private organization/religion/association they want -- just not make it public when they are supposedly in a neutral government role, as in wearing a T-shirt saying, Jouin me with Jesus at your driver's licence renewal
I gave a very clear example that I am waiting to hear a response to. Those special clothing or turbans etc are obligatory for those Jews, Muslims and Sikhs who believe in them. Jesus T-shirts and crosses are not obligatory. The only equivalent scenario that applies to Christianity is to ban anyone who attends church or goes to confession from public employment.
That's why this ban has little to do with secularism, because it does not have any impact on te largest religious group in the province. It only targets minority religions, the same as the French law did. And like there, the main proponent of the ban on turbans and hijabs are not progressive secularists or atheists, but right wing nationalists. Check to see how much applaud Quebec is getting from Toronto Sun readers these days!
