“You don’t drive drunk on the street. If you want to drink alcohol, you drink it in your house,” he said. Women could choose whether to wear the headscarf but they could not walk around in a halter-top and shorts.

“There must be some modesty in the way you dress. We don’t want women living there going half-naked down the streets. We don’t like that,” he said. “If they want to do that, let them go and live in downtown Montreal.”

Ha, what a joke.  You can't tell a woman she can't walk around in public like she's a backup dancer in a Britney Spears video anymore than you can tell her to take off a hijab.

Many claim UK and Europe has pockets of this very problem legal or not .
If you were to change the word Muslim to white and and hijab to not allowed hijab .
Everyone one would be jumping up and down screaming discrimination,hate crimes .
This is no different.
Shut down talk like this immediately and politely.
I hope that this is being taken seriously ,we all live together under Canadian law .

In that article the Quebec Premier denounced the project:

Premier Philippe Couillard, speaking Tuesday in Morocco, where he is attending the United Nations climate conference, worried non-Muslims would face discrimination.

 

“Discrimination works in both directions, and so does inclusion; we are in favour of mixed housing for cultural communities and religious groups,” Couillard said.

 

...although that is sort of funny considering how Quebec deals with its language issue.

But he has heard opposition closer to home, including from the imam of the Brossard mosque, Foudil Selmoune.

 

“We are here in Canada. We came of our own will,” Selmoune said in an interview. “Our intention was not to come to isolate ourselves from society or from the community.” He said it would be more constructive for Warda to use his financing proposal to help Muslims buy existing homes rather than creating a Muslim neighbourhood.

 

The social climate in Quebec can be difficult for Muslims, Selmoune acknowledged.

 

“It doesn’t mean we have to hide ourselves and get away from the challenges we are going through,” he said. “We have to face them.”
