The Star:
Quebec’s Parti Québécois government is plumbing new depths in its cynical campaign to pump oxygen into the sputtering cause of sovereignty. Its latest manoeuvre, according to a trial balloon floated in a Montreal newspaper, is a plan to ban religious symbols such as Muslim head coverings, Jewish kippas and Sikh turbans (along with “ostentatious” personal crucifixes) from schools, hospitals, daycares and anywhere else in the broad public sector, all in the name of ensuring religious “neutrality.” In fact, such a move would be anything but neutral.
