everywhere in the world if religious beliefs and its associated symbols were kept
private; for home and places of worship. In our pursuit of trying to be all
things to all people, we often create other unnecessary problems. When will we

Trudeau's Risk
Federal liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s decision to wade
into Quebec politics is not without risk. Although he may gain favour with some
people, he stands the risk of alienating many others. Mixing religion and
politics seldom produces win-win outcomes. Quebec’s current Parti Quebecois
government is considering imposing a ban on religious garb, including turbans,
hijabs, kippas and visible crucifixes, for those people employed in the public
sector. While the ban would satisfy those that seek freedom from religion,
there are others that are of the view that freedom of religion is meant to be
24/7.
