Quebec has been the subject of numerous negative headlines across Canada since tabling its controversial Bill 21, which would prohibit certain public sector employees from wearing religious symbols.


But a new poll shows that many in other provinces agree with the majority of Quebecers in favour of the bill. The Léger poll, conducted online for La Presse Canadienne April 18-22, polled 1,522 Canadians.

Taking into consideration responses from Quebec, 46 per cent of Canadians would be in favour of a similar bill, compared to 42 per cent who would be against it.
