Montreal city hall replaces crucifix with hijab, prompting criticism

Five years after Montreal city hall removed a crucifix, it has reopened an image of a woman with a hijab, prompting criticism from some, and support from others.

Visitors to city call now encounter the message “Bienvenue à L’Hotel de Ville de Montréal“ in an image two metres high. The picture includes a sketch of a young man wearing a hoodie and ballcap, a woman wearing a hijab, and a male senior citizen.
