‘The Parti Québécois objected to the image of the hijab as flying in the face of the province’s secularism policy, as did groups like Mouvement laïque québécois. Women’s rights groups like the Association of Iranian Women of Montreal and Pour les droits des femmes du Quebec objected over what the hijab symbolizes for oppressed women.’

Und so weiter. You really do wonder, as well-meaning idiots in secular countries crash into problems over and over, what it will take for them to cut it out.

Now that the city of Montreal has removed the image of the hijabi from its welcome poster, perhaps that municipality has finally realized that (say it with me, one more time), Quebec is secular.

*****************************

Maybe this will help: Iran is not secular. It is a theocracy. It mandates that all girls and women cover themselves with hijabs and chadors and if they don’t do it they go to horrible disgusting jails for decades. Women in Quebec on the other hand are free to wear or not wear hijabs, except in certain public sector settings.
