1/7. NCCM and the CCLA (@cancivlib), alongside allies, are at the #Quebec Court of Appeal today to challenge #Bill21, the law that bars certain public servants from wearing religious symbols at work.
It must be struck down!
It must be struck down!
2/7. This law has demonstrated that as of right now, minorities in this country effectively don’t have rights. They only have permissions. Our government can take away our rights without any justification.
3/7. Bill 21 has devolved Quebec’s religious minorities into second-class citizens.
It must be repealed. #Bill21
It must be repealed. #Bill21
4/7. Imagine having to tell your daughter that she can never be a teacher or a prosecutor because of the way she looks. Imagine having to tell your son that he can never become a judge or a police officer because of the way he looks. This is untenable.
5/7. People’s discomfort should not trump other people’s fundamental rights, just because of their identity. This sets a horrible precedence for what provincial governments can do to curtail individual and religious freedoms throughout #Canada.
6/7. We all have the right to practice any faith we like. To say otherwise is unconstitutional. This is why we value and protect human rights.
That is why we are in court. That is why we will not stop until #Bill21 is struck down. It has no place in our democracy.
