Pauline Marois

Pauline Marois: Meanwhile, the federal government, which should be protecting those citizens rights, is sitting idly by, contenting itself with making noises about this not being Ottawas problem. , according to Times Colonist. How the wearing of religious symbols by individuals going about their daily routine prevents French culture from flourishing is beyond comprehension. Why should Marois care if a Jew wears his kippah to work? How does forbidding a Muslim daycare worker from wearing her hijab preserve Quebecs identity and language? Is Marois afraid the children might see the hijab, and realize there are other people in the world who are different from them? The Parti Qu b cois is turning Quebec into a xenophobic hellhole where the Charter rights of Canadian citizens to freedom of religion and freedom of expression are about to be revoked. The Quebec government has confirmed it wants to pass legislation that will prohibit all public-sector workers from wearing any religious clothing or symbols. The reason, as Premier Pauline Marois explains, is to preserve our identity, our language, our institutions and our values. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
