HAY GUYS

I think this is a valid fucking concern. As someone who plays football and does martial arts, a hijab is a dangerous item. There's a reason we're not allowed to wear chains (be they dangling a crucifix or otherwise) when we do these sports. Hands get caught, fingers get caught, people get hurt. Free enough to play footie? Free enough to pull your hair back in a ponytail like everybody else for 90 minutes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I share some of the sentiment. On the one hand, I would love to see Quebec move into the 21st century and actually act like part of a country, instead of thinking they are somehow above the rest of the nation. Distinct, yes. Separate? No. Quebec can't survive without Canada, despite what they may say. On the other hand, taking away multi-lingualism from Canada? It's part of what makes this country great. Stupid idea.

Well, let's be fair, rural Quebec is more racist than mainstream Quebec (see recent elections), and even mainstream Quebec can be pretty fucking block headed about things (see separatism). However, their dumbfuckery sometimes leads to making a good call about when PC bullshit goes too far (see hijab removal).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh come on. You're talking about a party that had to warn several of its members that if they spoke out against muslims publically, they would be censured. The ADQ isn't the Bloq, that's for sure, but they're still a step towards separatism and isolationism, which have long been Quebec's biggest problems.
