It was a sarcastic comment of course.

It's the same in The Netherlands. If you are a public servant then a burqua or niqab are not acceptable. A hijab is of course.

the Quebec government argument there is that there is a strong separation of state and religion, and if you're working as a provincial employee, you represent the government and should also not represent any religion.

It's a weird deal, but it needs a bit of context. In the 60s, while the US were putting a man on the moon, priests in Quebec were going door to door encouraging women to have 12+ children each if they didn't want to be bad Catholics. All schools and hospitals were church-run. Schools stopped being ran only by religious organizations in the mid-to-late 60s. Hell, I was in elementary school in the 90s, and the school was run by the government, but a few times a year they'd walk us to the other side of the street to go confess at church. Like all children no matter what. By law, Quebec schools became religion-free in 2005 only.

So uh, there's definitely a good bunch of rear end in a top hat racists pushing for these laws, and on the other side, a bunch of people who really want all religion out of the system, and they happen to all sit on the same side of the issue for this.

Granted, I'm like semi-:jewish: so I have a perspective here, but (assuming a more-or-less similar culture between the US Midwest and Canadian Quebec, which may of course be less valid than I here assume) the "This is OK" cross conveys a similar amount of religiosity as the yarmulke or the Sikh scarf or the hijab. Also, I've literally never seen anyone with a ring or earrings like that.

The distinction is between say:



Which is a small cross, no real jesus on it, and seen as a kind of accessory that people get when they are young even if you're not religious. It's as religious as wearing a wedding ring for the most part and doesn't carry a lot of meaning. Those tend to be seen as minor and don't bother anyone, and the same size of pendant for most other religions would be accepted (hence the comparison to small earrings or rings, which all have similar catholic variants as well)

And this the stuff that is technically 'forbidden' (I don't know if that dress code ever got made official):



Which is a bigger cross with prayer beads, or variants that are more reminiscent of official religious clothing. They carry a stronger religious meaning.

an unadorned cross "without jesus" is actually quite significant, specifically for many protestants. i hope you're not involved in spycraft because your grasp of religious symbolism would probably get somebody killed, a la that scene in inglorious basterds where the american guy holds up the wrong fingers to order 3 beers

apparently they were, because someone issued a civil search warrant to them and they went into the guy's house and took his stuff. a judge only decided later that what they did was unlawful for whatever reason, yet they still haven't given his stuff because they are appealing the decision.

Also: the judge said it was void because they overstepped in questioning, and did it for too long (kept it up until midnight instead of stopping at 8pm like the order said). The implication being that if they hadn't done that, it would have been totally legal and the guy would have had no recourse whatsoever.
