Let's check in with the French Canadians, shall we?
Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge (yes, there's such a thing as a SECULARISM MINISTER in Qubec) says he's introducing a bill this fall to outlaw public prayer.
From the CBC:
Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge said in a statement Thursday that the 'proliferation of street prayer is a serious and sensitive issue.'
'The premier of Quebec has given me the mandate to strengthen secularism, and I am determined to fulfil this mandate diligently,' he said.
'This fall, we will therefore introduce a bill to strengthen secularism in Quebec, in particular by banning street prayers.'
The move, however, is not aimed at Christians, but the increasing numbers of Muslim migrants. Muslims practice "Salat," or the Quranic command to pray while facing the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca five times a day.
His statement follows months of efforts by the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) government to reinforce secularism in the province, which includes adopting a law that requires immigrants to embrace the common culture of the province and tabling a bill to expand the province's religious symbols law to include school support staff.

'Seeing people praying in the streets, in public parks, is not something we want in Quebec,' [Premier François] Legault said in December, saying he wanted to send a 'very clear message to Islamists.'
'When we want to pray, we go to a church, we go to a mosque, but not in public places. And yes, we will look at the means where we can act legally or otherwise.'
Images of Muslims praying in Montreal made headlines last summer, and, last month, a viral video showing Muslims praying outside the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal was shared more than 14,000 times on X.
But members of other faiths also hold public events in Quebec, including the Way of the Cross procession led by the Catholic Archbishop of Montreal on Good Friday.
Banning public prayer to get rid of the Muslim takeover only works while the Muslims are in the minority.
It also only works if there is no God, because if there is, He most certainly won't put up with politicians who think they can ban Him from public.
