Québec’s National Assembly is back in session and the first order of business for the opposition parties (including Québec Solidaire) is banning religious symbols.
The members of the National Assembly are completely disconnected from the priorities of the population who are fed up with never-ending debates about state enforced dress codes. The timing is particularly offensive given that less than ten days have passed since the terrorist attack in Québec city that killed six members of the Muslim community.
The Green Party of Québec is the only progressive party that is opposed to all forms of intolerance and to any rollback of religious freedoms.
