Government Offices

government offices: Most Quebecers would ban the Sikh turban or Islamic headscarf in government offices. By contrast, two-thirds of people in the rest of Canada oppose such a move, according to the latest Angus Reid poll, according to The Star. But Ontarians shouldnt feel smug about the whiff of intolerance emanating from the Quebec. We forget that our own politicians arent above pressing ethnic or religious buttons to win votes at home and Watching Quebecs debate over religious suppression of public servants, its hard not to marvel at the cleavage in public opinion across Canada. A majority of Quebecers want to ban the yarmulke Jewish skullcap among public servants. Three-quarters of English-speaking Canadians reject any such ban. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
