Quebec Premier François Legault said Friday afternoon that he wants to ban praying in public and that he was considering using the notwithstanding clause to do so.

I find it incredibly worrisome that he continues to curtail basic human rights in the name of secularism. Secularism applies to state institutions (government offices, hospitals, schools) but does not in any way apply to individuals’ constitutionally protected freedoms in public spaces.

Legault is a power-crazed fascist, pure and simple - and he’s also a recalcitrant islamophobe because it’s entirely transparent whom he’s trying to target with these measures.

This asshat can’t be voted out of office soon enough - ideally before he does irreparable damage to Quebec’s inclusive multicultural society.
