Frankly it really makes me wonder about majority of people living in Quebec because from what I've read in the news, it seem like the majority support this. It almost seems like Quebec is turning into 1935 Germany.
You seem to be pretty intent on drawing comparisons to Nazism as this is the second one I noticed in as many posts, but you're about as far off the mark as the protesters that carried placards comparing Obama to Hitler when he was being too "socialist" for trying to introduce some form of public health care.

Don't get me wrong, the proposed law is a bad one, but not on the level that it'll turn Quebec in totalitarian regime or invite a holocaust. It's limiting the ability of people to freely express themselves, and should be opposed simply on those merits.

The PQ wants to introduce the law under the guise of a secular government, which, I think, the majority of rational people would see as a good thing. However, that doesn't mean members of the government, or their employees, should have to be secular in personal choices like clothing or jewelry that affect no one but themselves. And that's why this is a bad law. Let's not get sensationalist and over-dramatic with the Nazi stuff.
