Banning the veil in Quebec What remains of the standards of liberalism and freedoms in Canada?  Followers wonder about the standards of freedoms and slogans of liberalism and acceptance of the other that the Canadian authorities attribute to their government and country, at a time when the Muslim minority is suffering discrimination and mounting targeting.  During the past months, attacks and attitudes targeting Muslims in Canada have increased, and their level has increased significantly. While observers criticize the Canadian authorities' insufficient intervention, except through statements of condemnation, solidarity and slogans of inclusion, and even urging them to spread hatred and the state of ostracism of Muslims at the official level through the new law in Quebec.  A third-grade Muslim teacher in Chelsea, Quebec, was banned from her job last December for wearing a headscarf, under a provincial law that prohibits the wearing of religious symbols on public sector employees who perform work that authorizes them.  Observers wonder about the standards of freedoms and slogans of liberalism and acceptance of the other that the Canadian authorities attribute to their government and country, at a time when the Muslim minority is suffering discrimination and mounting targeting.  Targeting veiled women Authorities in the province of Quebec are defending a law banning religious symbols worn by government employees, such as teachers, police officers and prosecutors, claiming that it was implemented by a 2019 court order to preserve secularism in the mainly French-speaking province.  The law, known as " Law 21 " to protect secularism, has been criticized by human rights defenders and activists, as Muslim women are among the largest groups affected by the decision, as they are no longer allowed to wear the veil if they work as teachers, police officers, prison guards, or lawyers paid by the government.  The law cannot be applied to teachers in English-language schools in the Canadian province, as it would infringe the rights to teach minority languages ​​protected under Article 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Several Muslim women said that they were rejected for teaching jobs because they wore the hijab.  In addition to the aforementioned law in the province of Quebec, women who wear the veil are increasingly suffering from harassment and racism, while the veil is targeted as a symbol, described by the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association in an article published in December as a "tool of persecution and exploitation of children." This was widely rejected and denounced by Muslims in Canada.  Quebec's electoral weight Although he previously said he opposed Law 21, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been criticized for avoiding addressing the issue for some political accounts, as the issue is considered sensitive to the ruling Liberal Party, because Quebec is of crucial importance in the country's elections.  And last month, after the decision to deprive a Muslim teacher of her teaching duties, Irene O'Toole, the leader of the Canadian opposition Conservative Party, said that "no kind of opposition on this issue will be tolerated."  During the recent federal election, the Conservative Party chief prided himself on "handling the matter with the greatest skill", making it clear that he had "reservations in theory about banning religious head coverings", but respecting Quebec's right to "pass its own laws".  'Separatist trap' Canadian political and social analyst John James McCullough noted that Trudeau and O'Toole's position on the issue of Muslim teacher segregation, along with several other high-level responses in Canada, "represented a move that made the headscarf ban in Quebec, which had been theoretically controversial for months, It suddenly became more real."  In his article published in the Washington Post , McCullough quoted former Canadian senator Andre Pratt about the weight of Quebec, saying that "English Canadians are falling into the trap set by the (Francophone) separatists in the province."  The Canadian political analyst explained that Canadian politicians, especially from the English, are afraid to oppose the decisions and policies of the French-speaking majority in order to avoid "losing Quebec's national votes," O'Toole put it.  McCullough added that this type of discourse is based on the premise that non-opposition of Quebec is the paramount goal of Canadian politics, and that "the aggressive nationalism in the province should never be allowed to turn into separatism", and that this is done by appeasing Quebec "no matter how opposed the province's policies". with the principles and standards of Canadian policy.
