Québec is a province where where one can exercise his religion with freedom  in fact our society is laïque, there was a big deabate about this troughout the province taking the pulse of the population.

When I was at school in every class room there was a crucifix now they are gone...the idear behind this is that no religion should prevail on a other.

Like Einstein this is liberal thinking, but what happen here is getting out of hand now the muslim community as ask the goverment that when a women of muslim belief goes for a exam test on the road for her driver license it must be with a women as there religion doesnt allow them to be alone with a man.

So I ask myself what if I born and raise here would ask to be serve by a caucasien person of the same religion as I am ( in my view that would be undeniably racist from my part).

This whole debate on reasonnable accomodation as gone way to far, I have travel some and even stayed abroud for some time and have always made it a point to respect the culture of the country that I was in wich is normal to me.

We have been fighting a long time for our rights as a French speeking Nation to be recognize in Canada and troughout French speeking nations for there support now that we have achieve this I think that ''our'' liberal goverment should be very carefull in the laws that they adopt.

One liberty shouldnt start with restraints of  others Freedom.
