Manitoba's Brian Pallister says he wants to know where his counterparts stand on Quebec's new religious symbols law when western premiers meet today in Edmonton.

The Quebec law prohibits teachers, police and other public servants in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols. Critics say it unfairly targets Muslims, Sikhs, and other religious minorities.

"That is, certainly to my mind, dangerous and un-Canadian and deserves to be opposed," Pallister said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

"We are not a two-tier-rights country.

"We're not a country that celebrates sameness. We celebrate diversity, and we need to make sure that we don't restrict people's freedoms, whether it's speech or movement or religion."

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney will play host and it will be the first time he has spoken face to face with BC Premier John Horgan since the Alberta election.

BC and Alberta continue to disagree about the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion.
