The pro-independence party in Quebec proposes to forbid employees in public institutions from wearing overt religious symbols.

They want to separate Church from State.

You wouldn’t see these symbols associated with some (or all?) Quebec government employees.

Though the proposal is being mocked widely, there’s some logic to it.

… Hold on. …

PQ leader Pauline Marois says small symbols like a crucifix on a chain are OK.

That’s a problem. Where do you draw the line, Pauline?

Aside from all the many other problems with this proposal, it smacks of racism.

Why is it that the biggest minority in Canada, Francophones, are so often intolerant of minorities?

… Am I being intolerant of Québécois now? I was just there last week. Some of my best friends wear the Fleur de Lys.

And you know what — they can keep wearing the Fleur de Lys, even if they work for a PQ Provincial government. 🙂

Doesn’t the PQ have some serious issues to deal with Madame Marois?
