Bill 21 ruling coming Tuesday
Quebec’s columnists each have a pair of texts roughed out, one of which will be completed and published depending how Tuesday’s ruling on Bill 21, the Loi sur la laïcité de l’État, comes down from Superior Court. Either it’s going to be a brave defense of Quebec values* or it’s going to be a brave defense of civil liberties, according to taste.
Earlier this month, Amnesty International criticized the law.
Jonathan Montpetit discusses the implications of the law.
*Quebec values since the Quiet Revolution, that is. Before that, religion had the upper hand in almost every area of life.

Knowing how things go in this province, I’m going to agree with the experts that the fight will continue in the Supreme Court of Canada.

I don’t see how it could go any other way, Meezly.
