At my university (US), one of my calculus professors with a 150+ student lecture hall would repeatedly open his lecture with a slide showing his church and an invitation for students to join him there on Sunday. Absolutely inappropriate to proselytize a captive audience under his power to pass/fail them. There has to be some accountability for universities to stop this, but not to harass a person wearing a cross necklace or a koppel or a hijab. Shame this is legislated at such a high level instead of people just being professional and not a*holes.

Minister Roberge has previously stated that street prayers could be considered “acts of provocation.”

Municipalities will be able to authorize them, but only under certain criteria. The new law will also ban the wearing of religious symbols by daycare educators. The government is also extending this ban to teachers and staff at private schools.

Bloody ridiculous. This helps nobody.

Fuck religion but fuck stupid laws like this. Seriously this is just as stupid as the age verification stuff everyone he is mad about.

People have the right to do their rituals if it makes them feel good...

What a load of crap

And I'm sure like french laicite this will be enforced unequally and will discriminate in order to target minorities.

Who tf does this help

Instead of feel-good measures like this, they should TAX mosques, churches, temples, prayer sheds, whatever. (it feels good to ME, anyway)

In USA, religions pay virtually nothing, with many more benefits than any secular charity or non-profit.

What problem does this solve?

Religion is cancer. Every and any.

Bad law. There will be consequences for this law.

Something something France light.

Also related but isn't Canada super immigrant dense anyway? If you ignored the architecture, you could genuinely confuse some areas for South Asia lol.
