Episode description

Living up to one of his key election promises, Quebec Premier Francois Legault’s government introduced its secularism bill recently. One of Bill 21’s most controversial sections deals with religious symbols, and would ban public workers in positions of authority from wearing them. We look at who the ban affects, what symbols are being banned and how some are saying they won’t follow the new rules. Dave is joined by Montreal Gazette reporter Rene Bruemmer.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
