Quebec's religious symbols ban a 'lifeline' for Bloc, 'stink bomb' for Liberals: Nanos

Pollster Nik Nanos said it’s imperative for the Liberals to pick up seats in Quebec that are currently held by the NDP and used to be Bloc strongholds. The Bloc will also be vying hard for those seats, setting up an interesting showdown over secularism and Quebec sovereignty.

The Bloc can go after both the Liberals and the NDP, says Nanos, because the NDP is firmly against the ban. Leader Jagmeet Singh, who wears a turban himself, called it “state-sanctioned discrimination” on day one of the election campaign. He said the court challenge shows the system is working as it should and that it would be “counterproductive” for Ottawa to intervene in a provincial debate.

“I guess if you're a federalist it's kind of like that bad movie where you think the monster's dead and they come back to life,” he said. “For the Bloc Quebecois, what we know from a polling perspective is that usually onto themselves it's hard for them to move the numbers. They're very good at reacting to events.”

As soon as I saw it was a Nanos poll my interest went to 0.

Liberals will win big in Quebec.....

I agree no religious or spiritual things should be in a place of service of neutrality. Ask the Swiss!

Great bill. Canada should adopt this too!

Common sense vote getter👍

Also a really good law. It Keeps kkk hoods off the heads of teachers. Remember folks, supremacists need outward symbols like kkk hoods. They show allegiance and intimidate the “other” No religious symbols means religious supremacists can’t flourish as readily. Good law.

Catholic pedos and their 'school uniforms' are so entrenched in this society. Did we forget how the 'religious' program people already?

Wouldnt be the case if any of the fed leaders had the guts to stand up and say no.
