Are you aware of an instance where the reasonable limits clause of Section 1 has been used to prevent a Canadian from exercising their religious and personal expression rights in public? Is this your personal interpretation, or can you cite something with legal weight? Governments can place limits on rights (like freedom of expression or freedom of religion) if the restriction can be shown to be reasonable, necessary, and justified in a democratic society. As far as I know, it has never been legally established that it is reasonable, necessary, and justified that Canadian citizens cannot pray in public. I believe I can show that Canadian courts have consistently upheld the right to practice and express religion publicly, unless it infringes concrete rights of others (e.g. hate speech, discrimination in services).
You find it funny? I don’t see humour in it.
People act like these laws target Muslims because these laws frequently target Muslims, both in France, and here in Quebec.
