"Under the Defence Administrative Orders and Directives, Religious or Spiritual Accommodation rules, the CAF is bound to “consider” any request for accommodation based on religious or spiritual belief, provided that the belief is “sincerely held and reasonably connected” with the individual’s faith."

If all the chicken is Halal, where is the respect for non-Muslims?

Or is it, there is no respect for................

No, it does not occur as Jewish soldiers have had no choice at all. What ever they say, it proves that only one religion counts in today's Canadian military and it is not Christianity nor Judaism.

We are quietly giving our country away, encouraged by the government and led by the educational institutions, to be “nice” and “welcoming”. We will regret our stupidity!!!

My bet is that the Muslim activist groups and Imams have been quite aggressive in pursuing this policy and possibly others that still haven't gone public yet. I have read that they have targeted the schools in Toronto (and probably GTA) demanding Halal food choices for the children, and also demanding separate eating quarters for the Muslim kids since they don't want the non-Muslim kids and their food contaminating the Halal food experience. This is rung on the ladder of forcing accomodation and taking control. It would be nice to know how many Muslims are sworn members of the Canadian Armed Forces. How much cost for how many people?

Well, no, no, everybody. This makes perfect sense.

First, the Liberal Wardens of Wokeness have crammed countless millions of unwanted Muslim immigrants down our throats. So why not force our military to dine only on Halal food? Makes perfect sense in this perfect new world we've been graced with by our perfectly Utopian Liberals.

Here's what's coming next.

1. Prayer mats in every Government office (maybe next to the tampon dispenser in the men's room?).

2. A gradual imposition of Sharia Law via our criminal justice system. ("Criminal", in this context, is an adjective, describing the noun that follows) But hey folks, only the best parts of Sharia Law for now - no beheadings just yet.

Seriously, everyone. This kind of lunacy can no longer be viewed as a simple bad decision. This is being imposed on us on purpose, by design. A death of a thousand cuts.

And no one is accountable. I'm off now, to visit my screaming room.

Truth in advertising, the killing process for Muslims (Halal) and Jews (Kosher) is virtually identical. Zero difference except for the words spoken by the Rabbi and his Muslim counterpart. In truth, they are also described identically in both the Bible and the Quran. The only difference there is that the Quran provides for exceptions to the requirement for Halal - in extreme circumstances. The Bible does not.

This should be an opportune time and place for the SPCA or some other animals rights group to investigate. The manner in which these poor animals are butchered should be of greatest concern to those of us who believe animals should be humanely treated in Canada. OH right .. Carney said Canadian values are muslim values. Well a good reason not to vote for someone that would condone such barbaric practises.

As a 14-15 year old, I had the unpleasant experience of working in a slaughterhouse for the summer. For the 2nd year, my job was to prod the animals into the kill box, hook the nostrils up to a pulley system, then crank the neck taut while the Rabbi chanted a prayer before slitting the throat. This is the Kosher process, virtually Identical to Halal.

In the rural, bucolic setting of a farm, the process is not unusually cruel. Generally only one animal every week or so, slaughtered far from the others and done quickly, with soothing words for the beast. They are typically unaware of what's happening.

In the industrial setting (100-125 cattle per day) of a slaughterhouse, the process is unbelievably cruel and barbaric, a left over tradition from the middle and dark ages. Throughout the process, (up to 5 minutes in the kill box) the animal is beyond terrified. The smell of fresh blood permeates everything. I have witnessed full-grown cattle, 3 to 4 feet wide, literally break their backbones in an attempt to turn back and escape the looming horror. The terror in their eyes is real, almost human. They are fully aware.

Yes, I did a tour of a killing plant and many things still remain in my mind many years later. Not anti kill but just know the way that some of the behaviour of those doing the job treated the animals. and yes, while they are waiting, they know! That's what got to me as well as another incidence with a pig that did try to escape.

You're right about that. A certain type of person is drawn to that job. Not all, but enough to matter. When I worked there, back in the late 50's, many of the employees were - oddly enough - ex German POW's.

I would suggest making/demanding a similar report regarding 'Kosher' food. Also, I would be diligent and take the Canada Food Inspection Agency to task, and have their intent to push unlabeled 'cloned' meat onto the market sans label, without the knowledge of the consumer, and investigate them thoroughly. Certainly, lab grown meat and cloned meat is neither Halal or Kosher... or palatable to folks who retain understanding of real nutrition and fear God. Bill Gates is a god-hating mad scientist/wannabe, and likes the idea of lab grown meat, eating bugs, and administering noxious substances. Will the Halal lovers accept and eat Gate's invention, and will the military continue to feed substandard food and drugs to the troops, and force them to take genetic therapy presented as "vaccinations". Not for long, hopefully.
