Go home Quebec, you're drunk
It's a sad and strange day when I agree with anything that comes out of Jason Kenney's mouth, but broken clocks, twice a day, etc. Quebec's proposed charter of values that will ban public servants from wearing any religious symbol (but really we mean Muslim religious symbols) is so completely batshit insane that I'm amazed it got this far.
I wonder what even constitutes a religious symbol. I mean, I used to wear ankhs and pentacles and inverted crosses, not out of any religious conviction but because I was Goth As Fuck. In Montreal, would a Habs jersey count? I mean, it's really unclear. Also racist. And loopy.
There is a certain type of New Atheism that's essentially a continuation of White Man's Burden by other means. This is its exemplar.

The PQ seems to have adopted the undercurrent of xenophobic ethnic nationalism that pops up in a lot of Europe. It's just weirder here since it's a population who are immigrants themselves doing it, even if they like to forget that fact.
