#JoshFreed: To keep Quebec secular, let’s change rue St-Hubert into chemin Barbecue
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/freed-to-keep-quebec-secular-lets-change-rue-st-hubert-into-rue-barbecue-chicken/wcm/8f27f75b-541a-424e-a27a-0d47c7010ac9?itm_source=canada
Secularism obviously wasn't a #Québec value in the past, and it shouldn't be one in the future. Let us recognise the benefits to society of religion and choose religious liberty instead.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
There can be nothing more utterly subversive of all that is really valuable than the suppression of honest thought. No man, worthy of the form he bears, will at the command of church or state solemnly repeat a creed his reason scorns.Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1873-12) “Individuality,” Chicago Free Religious Society

It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to exercise either of them. Cited as from Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar. Sometimes misquoted "... never to practice either."

Insisting people who disagree with your ideology are possessed by evil is called "dehumanization", which is often a precursor for #Genocide.
It's religiously motivated discrimination at the very least.

It's was never a matter of #Conservative voices being silenced or oppressed, but about their rhetoric being so repulsive they're the only ones left yelling in an empty room.
Turns out their #FreeSpeech doesn't abrogate my #FreedomOfConscience or #FreedomOfMobility.
