Identifying 'real' QuebecersBut, of course, LaPierre was also white and of Roman Catholic heritage. Pauline Marois proposed the Charter of Values in 2013, which would ban public sector employees from wearing overt religious symbols. To repeat: all this took place beneath the National Assembly's official crucifix, which hangs morosely over the speaker's chair. I trust neither Singh nor Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, a devout Christian conservative, to keep their religious views out of governance. But passing this law and making self-righteous speeches about the need for "religious neutrality" and "social cohesion" while the bleeding, tortured martyr-God of their own religion hangs on the opposite wall is a special level of hypocrisy.
