That’s the only way this law will survive....but will they have the guts to invoke it?

Some real supergeniuses in Quebec. It’s a religious neutrality law that does nothing of the sort.

It's more of a statement than anything else. It's also likely being done to appease the rising right-wing sentiments that are sweeping the West right now.

I remember seeing a lot of Italian women in Montreal in the 60s and 70s wearing veils and head coverings... so they'd be outlaws today too.
