I’m an atheist from Québec. This is just the new thing of the right, pretending that this is an issue. It’s not, never seen one street prayer in Montreal in decades. The just want to target Muslims to score cheap political points, fuck every single one of them.
Banning prayers in the street is fine, what is the reason for banning prayer rooms? In some places, these are also meditation rooms.
Btw, same guy who said they support illegal attack by US and Israel.
Do you think this would help or hurt QAC polling numbers?
It’s banning rooms explicitely for prayer, so you can still have an empty room meant for prayer, just needs to allow other things as well.
I’m not on the side of religion, but that’s some bullshit.
I’d just like to know which problem they are trying to solve.
Fair.
Fucking Bullshit by a dying (and gerontocratic) gov
gerontocratic
I learned something. I did not know that was a word.

By street prayers do they mean those annoying people outside the metro stops?
The ones trying to convert people Christianity or whatever? I’m sure they’ve not got a huge issue with that for some reason.
Only problem with universities is people living on Residence but I assume this isn’t banning it from their own rooms.
That would on par with banning masturbation. You can’t ban what people do on their own behind closed doors.
Glad to hear it, I don’t want to see or hear about your religion. Worship whatever bullshit you like at home.
how often is this a problem for you?
I have managed to live here for a quarter century and I don’t remember ever been bothered by people praying in a park
The problem with this is that it overwhelmingly targets muslims. Christians don’t wear specific things as part of their religion(and will conveniently get passes for “cultural/historic reasons”, I doubt they’ll be too mad about the stuff that the jews in Mile End wear, and they’ll certainly not change the crazy catholic names of many of the schools and hospitals in the province, but they will and have fired people over the hijab.
It’s a blantant attack on a specific group because the CAQ is a useless, racist organization intent on letting the entire province fall to pieces because they only have a handful of angry, misfiring braincells between them.
I also think religion is dumb but you don’t solve it this way. The CAQ spends more energy on this than it does fixing the healthcare issues and that’s so fucking embarrassing.
