What is most important is what Quebec Premier François Legault said months ago, that “seeing people praying in the streets, in public parks, is not something we want in Quebec.” Legault also said that he wanted to send a “very clear message to Islamists.”
No other religion makes a public scene praying on the streets and ties up traffic and free movement, causing major disruptions that are far from peaceful.
Take a look at what happened in Ontario:
Yorkville resident angrily confronts protesters praying on the street at Yonge and Bloor.
Several protesters follow her as she walks away, with a marshal repeatedly obstructing her path.

In an attempt to intimidate Catholics, Muslims held a “prayer service” in front of the Cathedral in Montreal.

Muslim groups are defending their position on the grounds of religious rights and freedoms, as well as the freedom of peaceful assembly. Pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, intimidating and disruptive protests have also been defended on the grounds that they were “peaceful protests,” but they are anything but.
The Quebec government intends to invoke Canada’s notwithstanding clause to ban public prayer if necessary. Canada’s notwithstanding clause refers to Section 33 of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Its provision allows both the federal parliament or a provincial legislature to pass a law that temporarily overrides certain sections of the Charter.
“Quebec plans to table bill banning prayer in public,” by Matthew Lapierre, CBC News, August 28, 2025:
The Quebec government intends to present a bill banning prayer in public.
Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge said in a statement Thursday that the “proliferation of street prayer is a serious and sensitive issue.”
“The premier of Quebec has given me the mandate to strengthen secularism, and I am determined to fulfil this mandate diligently,” he said.
“This fall, we will therefore introduce a bill to strengthen secularism in Quebec, in particular by banning street prayers.”
His statement follows months of efforts by the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) government to reinforce secularism in the province, which includes adopting a law that requires immigrants to embrace the common culture of the province and tabling a bill to expand the province’s religious symbols law to include school support staff.
The statement from Roberge on Thursday provided no details as to how the government would legislate against prayer in public, but Premier François Legault has said his government would not rule out using the notwithstanding clause….

Islam wins again

“You’re not allowed here,” she says.
When Islam is involved, might makes right.
The simmering is over; the boiling over is unavoidable.

Civil War is coming to nations that appease Islam and rules against the citizen, when push comes to shove all hell will break out. Better have a supply of body bags because life in Europe is about to get really ugly when the citizens make a stand against Islam.

This is not civil war. Muslims are invaders.
Billy says
The weak Leftists appear to drag their feet with Muslim opposition which may lead to the Left’s failure to stop Muslims from dominating the public space as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). Islam teaches domination and conquest.
Allah’s specious ideology in Qur’an 8:39 commands Muslims to fight Non-Muslims until they surrender to Muslim rule when it says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Muslims are encouraged to conquer and subjugate every territory for Islam. Hence, Islam and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Westerners via Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 8:60; 9:5,29, 111; 47:4; 49:15; 60:4 etc.).

Good law. Should stop those “prayers” in the streets or other public places. Just one request to Premier Legault – please don’t have any carve-outs for muslims

Infidel, this has been *tabled*–means it is not gong into effect.

A damned confusing term:
What does it mean if something is tabled?
AI Overview
In the United States, to have something “tabled” means to postpone or delay discussion of a topic, proposal, or item of business, often for a future meeting or until more information is available. However, in British English, to “table” a motion means the opposite: to formally present something for discussion and consideration, according to Cambridge Dictionary.
As this is aboot Canada:

Thank you, PRCS.
My mother was English–and lived in Canada before coming to the US. I thought I was familiar with most of the descrepancies betwen British (and Canadian) and American usage, but apparently I’d mssed this one.
Carefully rereading the article, I believe you are right. I’m *glad* to b wrong here!
John Andela says
At last some one is standing up against this nonsense , there is absolutely no need , for this to take place in the middle of a street or church , this is simply a political statement .
May I suggest that Canadians wake up to this so called false religion by Mo and Al
gravenimage says
This being tabled is *not* a good thing.
gravenimage says
Looks as though I was mistaken–glad in this case.

Yes these Islamic invaders have come into your country to take it over. Islam is using the migration invasion of young men to disrupt our society. Islam is also sending millions of dollars to purchase politicians, our Higher Education system and buy into our corporations.

Canada: Quebec to table legislation banning prayer in public
…………………………………..
Tabled–for *how long*?
Kurtius the cunning says
Throw some bird seed from the windows above over the as##es and let the pidgeons do the shitting on thme.
Trow some bacon from above and use a dog whistle to call the canine brigade. Record the pidgeons and the dogs for a fun time.
Obviously you would have to conceal your face even if you ar high above the street level for your own protection.
A organised feeding of dogs and birds is not against the law and if some as##es are in the way then so be it.
Any comments on this idea?
somehistory says
If it is not against the law there, go for it. Especially if they are on church property.

Putting it on the “table,”….kind of like capital punishment being ‘on the table’ in a murder crime. Or, “everything is on the table,” when considering what to do about terrorists and those who support them.
The muzzies have an abundance of barracks, as well as their own homes. There is no good reason for them to use the streets to bend down to their false god.
Taking up space in the streets interferes with the lives of everyone else who may need to use those spaces for their own interests.
Andrew Blackadder says
That disgusting display in Toronto is beyond the pale as these men dressed like HamAss fighters and faces covered telling a Canadian woman who lives in the street to move away while the Police stand by and allow the street to be totally blocked off and a resident being pushed around by thugs..
I sure am glad I live far far away from this madness.
muslime are laughing and spitting in your faces.
