Document Summary
Quebec is planning to pass a law that bans having or wearing large religious items for all government workers. Has been heavily attacked for: attack on religious freedom, attack on especially minority religious groups (seeks, muslims, jews) Possibly a political strategy that this will increase their support from the quebec people who are largely christian. However, even though there is some of the above support, the value of religious freedom in canada is so strong that the criticism will be so strong that they will have to back off. Machiavelli law: if law is not enforced, it is not a law: becomes more of a suggestion than a law, ex. Natural law: human laws are at best a natural: ex. If a law made that things naturally move up, it is invalid: ex. If a government makes murder legal, it people will say it is not!
