Pauline Marois

Parti Quebecois Dept: As if the threat of separation wasn t enough, Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois has given reasonable-minded voters another reason to shun her party at the polls on Sept. 4, according to The Star. Under the guise of wanting to rid conspicuous religious signs from the liquor stores, tax-collection offices and other state institutions of the province, Marois announced her party s charter of secularism Tuesday during a campaign stop in Trois Rivi res and this is an edited version of an editorial that appeared this week in the Montreal Gazette : She wants to bar public servants from wearing turbans, kippas or hijabs, but not God forbid the crucifix.
