Religious Minorities

religious minorities: The question came to mind this week as the Parti Qu b cois forced an unwanted conversation on the loaded topic of the public accommodation of religious minorities in Canada, according to The Chronicle Herald. On the plus side, if Quebec #39;s religious minorities ever doubted that they had allies within the francophone chattering class or in the province #39;s corridors of power, they now know they do. Those allies include Montreal #39;s municipal politicians who, in a remarkable show of unanimity, closed ranks against the PQ plan and the proposed imposition of a secular dress code on public-sector employees this week and Is a family that routinely engages in passionate and sometimes angry arguments at the dinner table more dysfunctional than one that strives to stick to small talk? It is an issue that tends to bring out the worst in some people. But on that score, anyone who spends time on the social media circuit can testify that there is no correlation between the sensitivity of a debate and the amount of nastiness that it brings to the surface these days.
