The values that made my family feel welcome in Quebec are under attack, by lotayef58

Thirty years ago I arrived in Quebec with my young family as an immigrant. We chose to settle in Montreal and have been Quebecois ever since.

If there was something I considered to be a contract between my family and our adopted homeland, it was the Charter. If there is a set of values we Quebecois can call"Quebec values," those would be the values found in the Charter. The CAQ is targeting vulnerable religious minorities to win support among certain segments of society, but the damage this bill will cause goes far beyond the erosion of some religious rights. The precedent of limiting the freedoms guaranteed by the Charter threatens our democratic system itself. If today the target is religious minorities, tomorrow it can be political dissidents or any voice that opposes those in power.
