Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Thine is the kingdom, the power, and glory, forever and ever, Amen.

Do you believe you now have some kind of legal standing to have me punished or silenced?

If we consider this internet community to be public then yes.

I agree that it's probably not "in public" for many legal purposes.

Since you decline to engage further on the question of your interpretation of the Charter vs that of Canada's courts, I'll consider that you don't have anything to add. I'm alarmed to see you so at odds with observable reality. Like this seems to be something you've thought about at length, but not especially researched. I don't mean to be vexatious, and I'm trying to say it respectfully because (unless I'm confused) you have had many perfectly sensible comments in the past.

Doesn't the existence of this bill at all make you question your belief? If every Canadian has a right not to be exposed to other people's prayers in public, Quebec would not need to pass additional laws to prevent it.

No, it provides a standardized punishment for this given right infringement. To differentiate it from (example) those crazy prayer circles the yanks have at sports games.

That's speculation. The text of the bill is not available. You are clearly arguing in bad faith. What is the deal? I'm asking sincerely. Why are you doing this?

People are acting like it’s a big deal when it’s just normal.
