Muslim Headwear: Quebec Town

Reasonable Accommodation Dept: That's how the mayor of the tiny Quebec town says residents have felt since they made international news and were thrust to the forefront of a heated debate over religious minorities, according to CBC. Mayor Bernard Thompson now says the town is considering tossing in the towel on the policy that started it all and if you're from H rouxville, it's probably best not to admit it. The town became ground zero of the so-called reasonable accommodation controversy, which has now culminated in legislation that would restrict Muslim headwear in provincial institutions. As reported in the news.
