A few interesting excerpts from the story:

[Boisclair] argued that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was non-negotiable and should be the guiding principle in dictating what minorities, religious or otherwise should be allowed to do. “Reasonable accommodations of minorities should not impede on fundamental values such as the equality between men and women,” Mr. Boisclair said.

Great to see the PQ embracing Pierre Trudeau’s Charter which was “imposed” on Quebec, isn’t it?

The article goes on to speculate about a February election call for a March 26th vote…six days after the federal budget comes down. If that’s the case, one imagines Harper has given Charest the nudge nudge wink wink that he’s going to be very happy with Flaherty’s budget. Toss in the speculation about federal elections and that could make for a very interesting week in politics.
