Well saidWhile Quebec may have gone a bit too far with a clumsily written law at least they are trying to establish a strict separation between church and state. Compare this to Ontario where Premier Wynne fully supports clerics coming into public schools to preach in make-shift "multi-faith" prayer spaces during the school day. The prayer sessions involve gender separation with girls forced to sit at the back of the room and they are taught from a holy book that can only be described as a hate manual (for example it calls for the execution of gays).
While there has been a lot of debate in Ontario about what is going in Quebec there has been NO debate in Ontario about what is happening here!
No one is asking Kathleen Wynne why she supports turning our public schools into Madrassa's. I'm sure if asked she would say its all in the name of and "diversity" and "inclusiveness".
To me being tolerant does not mean tolerating the intolerant but that is what we are being asked to do in Ontario.
And the insanity is not just limited to Ontario. Just today I read that in Saskatchewan $35,000 in public funds were spent to install foot washing stations inside the University of Regina to accommodate a certain religious ritual! Where is the national debate on this?

Canadians outside of Quebec need to take a good look at what is happening in their own province before they start criticizing Quebec!
No matter how you define tolerant, I'm pretty sure it doesn't include venomous Islamophobic statements like calling the Quran a "hate manual", or stereotyping all Muslims as "intolerant" (not to mention all the xenophobic statements in your earlier post, which would make Rob Ford look like a paragon of political correctness).
How much money has been spent by Canadian universities in support of other religious and cultural groups? How much has the University of Waterloo spent celebrating the German heritage of the city? Probably quite a bit. Of course, Germans are not the ethnic group you seem to despise so much, so you wouldn't be paying attention to that.
