Quebec plans to outlaw public prayer in move to strengthen secularism
Legislation will be tabled this fall to ban prayer in public places, says Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge

This is clearly unconstitutional unless the gov invokes the notwithstanding clause. A stark example of religious intolerance worthy of Maurice Duplessis.
