lunadax: allthecanadianpolitics: blackheartbrigade: allthecanadianpolitics: So the Quebec religious neutrality bill which bans facial coverings like the niqab for public services will also make it illegal to wear sunglasses on a bus. WTF Quebec? Uhm. They understand that sunglasses are often used by people with disabilities and chronic illness (I myself am prone to migraines and light sensitivity) and that sunglasses can also be prescription. And. That forcing employees to risk damage to their sight is literally a violation of employment standards. This is all such a pathetic excuse to seem like they’re not targeting Muslim women. They are and banning sunglasses is a pathetic and ignorant attempt at shifting focus. Because it’s potentially also physically harmful/damaging. It also looks like muslim women who cover their face will also no longer be allowed to attend university: Câlisse de gang d’hypocrites de marde! Religious neutrality my ass! they had to add this ridiculousness about sunglasses and ski masks (not looking forward to ride the public transport in the heart of winter, i tell ya) just so they wouldnt look too racists. Oh and by the way, the Assemblée Nationale where they pass these laws has a big ol crucifix hanging there too… there was some motions to have it removed some years ago but dear Prime Minister Couillard decided it needed to stay. hmmm. I’m from Quebec, but I am NOT ok with this law, and wished this fucking government would get their heads out of their intolerant asses. this is basically islamophobia disguised as religious neutrality and no one is duped, fuckhead Couillard. -- source link
