Quebec’s Radical Leftists clearly want Christianity exorcised from their province.
Charles Adler asks an important question: Would the same authorities dare mutter a word if the religion in question was Islam?

“Would the same authorities dare mutter a word if the religion in question was Islam?”
Nope. And not just out of fear of Muslim reactions, either. They’d be in as much danger from their left-wing activist comrades, who’d turn on them like blood-crazed sharks: “ISLAMOPHOBIAAAAAA!!!!”
Islamophobia: The fear of offending Muslims because they are prone to violence.
There are many people who fear Christianity. From such spring these laws.
As one comment said, Christianity has many ways to worship, including giving your employer his money’s worth in, as commanded to do in scripture.
Oh no, religion in the workplace…
Catholics in Quebec (and they are still a powerful force) have to begin targeting politicians who try to inhibit their right to worship.
Why of course you have freedom of religion, except when you need it…!
Look these comedians would object to Jesus in the stable, because He was disturbing the animals sleep by being born.
This is the Charter of Rights as farce…
I farce, therefore I am…oh hang it all where is my halo polisher, I’m getting somewhat rusty!

While in Toronto the School Board is giving a school cafeteria to the Muslims for prayer, with out charge. What gives???????? I think its time to start watching our backs. Never know from which direction the knife’s coming from.
Where’s Alex when you need him? We’re missing out on high grade entertainment.
As Beatrice Arthur frequently stated in “Maude”:
God will get you for that!
The desire to drive Christianity out of Quebec is based on EXPERIENCE. The Church worked hand-in-hand with the most corrupt regime in Quebec and Canada, and is, unsurprisingly, seen as being as culpable in the wrongdoing and mismanagement of the province.
Note how it was a Catholic group that was targeted.
When they experience similar support for government repression, I am sure they will turn against all the religions that inflicted what the Catholic Church inflicted on them.
what do you do if you see people coming out of a Catholic service in France ?
if you’re muslim, you throw stones at them…

the ‘religion of peace strikes again’ and the same thing will happen here before long…even in Quebec
What separates ordinary socialists from fascists?
The fascists are just separatists who have free reign to inflict their will on people.
Err perhaps ..

Vaudeville, save it. Quebec would not exist had it not been for the Church. It’s more than welcome to join the ummah if it likes.
From a dim-witted lefty-atheist in NP’s commentts: “Fine. I say do your God worshiping all you want… just don’t do it in a public building, paid for by the public, managed by the public, financed with public funds which came from taxes levied on ALL people, not just Christians.”
Umm, been to Toronto lately? We’ve got something called a “mosqueteria” here — which I’m SURE you’d also object to every bit as strenuously….
vaudeville said: “The Church worked hand-in-hand with the most corrupt regime in Quebec and Canada, and is, unsurprisingly, seen as being as culpable in the wrongdoing and mismanagement of the province.”
And now that the RC church has been removed from the equation these last 30 years or so, Quebec is…
…Still the most corrupt, mismanaged province in Canada. By a mile.
Tell me more about how this is all Christianity’s fault, and how it is entirely reasonable for government to go after people for praying at home? Please, I’m all ears here.
Robert said “Charles Adler asks: “Would the same authorities dare mutter a word if the religion in question was Islam?””
Duh, no. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Some questions are so rhetorical as to be annoying.
This is my favorite part here though: “The area of Lachine where the Maison du Brasseur lies is not zoned for places of worship.” Interpreted here to mean, places in which prayer and worship are permitted. City governments have the power to -zone- for that?
Since when?
The rental agreement prohibits confetti which would imply that the hall is used for weddings. Have they done away with religious weddings in Quebec?
I’ll bet if a Lesbian wedding ceremony was held in the hall there wouldn’t be any tickets written.
The irony here is that, in becoming a “modern, secular state”, Québec has abandoned the very institution that has assured its demographic and cultural survival within Canada since the Plains of Abraham. Yes, the Catholic Church was stifling in the way that all-pervasive institutions usually are. But it was also a solid bulwark against both English Canada and Protestantism.
Religious tolerance and equality within British North America was one result: the Crown had to accommodate Catholicism in the Canadas to an extent far beyond how it treated Catholics elsewhere in the British Empire (For quite some time, French Canadians actually had more religious freedom than Catholics living in England itself).
That strong Catholic demographic in our country has also made us distinctly different from Americans; we have never had anything like the massive US “Bible Belt” constituency here.*
To me (a Catholic), it seems the particular identity of Québec is gradually being pared away by its own volition. The French language alone as a badge of identity ultimately makes for a rather thin nationalist gruel – particularly if you’re not having any kids to pass that language on to.
* That’s why I chuckle at those who prattle on about Harper’s scary “Christian fundamentalist” agenda: that might play in the US, but here it’s ludicrous.
Canadian evangelical fundamentalists just don’t have that kind of political clout because there simply aren’t enough of them.
Note to secular, low-birthrate Québec: if you don’t improve your population statistics, neither will you.
Beaux becs et bye bye, mes chers amis!
So, when are the Cardinal, Bishops, Priests and parishoners marching on City Hall?
Oh, adjourned sine die, eh?
