Visible and invisible faith- the Quebec "Values" charter

I feel compelled to discuss here this Quebec "values" charter that may seek to ban public servants from wearing "religious symbols" such as hijab, kippah, or crosses while working. 

Personally, I feel very sad and confused about this direction, if it truly reflects a common view in Quebec or the rest of Canada. Does it reflect our limits on truly embracing diversity?

Loss of human rights

This is an email I received from KRUNA - Kootenay Region United Nations Association in Canada:

Quote:

Human Rights are not just 'lost', they are taken away by the courts. A recent ruling of an appeal brought by the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association and Amnesty International failed in Federal Court.
