Neither the Quiet Revolution nor "Quebec liberalism" is a convincing explanation for the CAQ government's anti-hijab bill.

“It’s not xenophobia,” we are assured, about the Coalition Avenir Québec government’s “laicity” bill targeting minority religious symbols.
Premier François Legault said it’s necessary to protect “our identity.” And a poll conducted just before the bill was presented suggests he was right when he claimed the support of the “vast majority” of the people.
So, if fear of “outsiders” doesn’t explain the anti-hijab bill, what does?
