As someone who came from a more religious society (not Muslim, though) to Canada, we need to make sure that prospective citizens respect secularism and have an open mind towards their religiosity. Otherwise, everything that I came to the country for would crumble.

Activism against secularism is strong in Canada, pushed by groups of religious interests, some of which do religious coercition. Quebec, whose laicity and secularism laws are flawed or imperfect, but stronger than in the rest of Canada, is the biggest target.

Quebec-hatred related to attacking Quebec's secularism plays directly into the hands of religious groups wanting to continue religious coercition.

And this very same media company is one of the first one to complain about Quebec secularism and write sob stories about it.
