They'll get it anyway.
I mean what kind of xenophobe would you have to be to vote against it?

"But Quebec City Muslims said their community deserves the same rights as all other religious groups, which have their own burial grounds."
There are Hindu, Christian, Buddha only cemeteries in Canada?

Quebecers don't like anyone being more special than them!

And that is exactly what it comes down to.

Whilst Canadians are told to be more inclusive, these guys want an Exclusive place to dump their corpses. Hmmmm.

Muslim cemetery by Cochrane, lot's of Jewish and Catholic, wouldn't want God to get them mixed up.

I'm of the opinion that no new cemeteries for anyone should be built. Cremation for all from this point forward. It strikes me as wasteful to dedicate even a small amount of land in all perpetuity to memorialize people who will only be remembered by the one or two successive generations then ignored for all eternity. Build a park for kids to play in instead.
That being said, hopefully the reason was more due to residents not wanting a cemetery in the particular plot of land than not wanting that particular cemetery there. That may or may not be the case, but you know that some people will be crying racism even if the rejection was due to something else entirely such as neighbouring property owners simply not wanting their homes adjacent a cemetery.

Not if your crematorium uses a large magnifying glass. Just like with the ants when you were a kid, only bigger!
Man, I think I just came up with a business concept for funeral homes that will have to deal with environmentalist clientele

It was kill them all and let God sort them out. It was a big shot in the RC church.
It was during a time when the RC church was killing heretics and the question was how do we tell the difference or what should be done when not sure?

the root of the problem stems from faith and tribalism.
less religions ..less problems.
