Maybe Canada is already a Red State and just doesn’t know it yet.

“In Quebec, we made the decision that state and the religion are separate,” said Education Minister Bernard Drainville
What is religion anyway? Worshiping men (politicians) is okay, but worshiping Allah is not?
As someone else pointed out, even from a liberal pov, this is wrong as it is anti-freedom and anti-personal autonomy. Women should have the right to choose what to wear according such a philosophy. Using the unconvincing loophole of "but they were forced to wear hijab" to turn this into something pro-freedom/pro-autonomy hardly changes that fact.
It's a dangerous path to take, as these politicians will not only step on Muslims' rights, but also set a precedent that the government (a few elites) can dictate when people are wearing too much. It also undermines the entire notion of protecting women's rights.
Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) should have been a red flag that Canada's rulers are mildly deranged along with being morally bankrupt.
The two things that have sown division in this world since forever, rich and poor, and religions
I'd get rid of all religions if I could, but if not that, this is a good step. Schools are not about indoctrinated ideas, it's about learning science and facts. Sure, teach about religions (and don't skip the parts where religion absolutely fucked this world over sideways) but sldont condone the practice of it on school grounds.
If you want to live in the stone Age then go back to a country where that is allowed. If you want to live in a civilized country, then don't expect your religion to be catered to at every corner.
Part of what makes Canada great is that it's charter of rights and freedoms upholding individual self expression, as long it does not bring harm to others.
A piece of cloth on a person's head, whether it's a hijab, turban, kippah or nun's veil brings no harm to others.
This is a misstep and a breach of Canadian values in my opinion.
