The World Sikh Organization published a federal election strategy demanding that federal leaders give preferential treatment to Sikhs when it comes to workplace requirements and immigration.
Canada is a nation that was predicated on all manner of carve outs and inequities exemptions, institutionalizing legal discrimination against groups of people and entire regions of this nation. We've reached the tipping point; any more of the specialized treatment for certain specific groups, such as that advocated for by the World Sikh Organization, will bring the destruction of the Canadian nation as we know it. These people want religious tolerance, let them earn it in their original homeland. You come to Canada, fine. Immigration helped build this nation. But you assimilate and become Canadian or stay where you were born. No more bending our laws, society, and culture to meet your specific religious needs. Safety rules are there for a reason and are supposed to be universal in their application. Your religious rules are the ones that need to bend and adapt or else you remove yourself from certain fields of employment, that's the individual choice every person gets to make in our free society. The very Christian ethic of religious tolerance is something that is the basis for our freedom of religion in our secular society but this does not extend to any religion trying to bend our secular laws, rules, and regulations to the specific needs or whimsical of any religious belief. All immigrants need to know that they will be required to follow our society's secular rules, laws, and regulations or they can simply stay where they are.
Oh man , THANK YOU, I strongly back up every comment that is written by this author. Eldeezy says everything that i believe in. You want to want to come to my country ,I will welcome you with open arms but come with the belief that YOU will assimilate , not force the country to change it's laws , standards etc. Come to and become Canadian the way that CANADA is now ,but when you close your suitcase , leave you baggage where you came from.
All this demand and similar ones from other religious groups emphasizes the desperate need to have the words ''religion'' and ''creed'' removed from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Creed is different from the other protected groups such as skin colour in that one is not born supporting a particular creed. It takes a mental process to decide to support one creed or another. It is changeable at any time and at any number of times. While not an author of the Charter, I surmise that it exists to stop our peaceful society from discrimination against Catholics, Protestant or Jews. It has done that and that is good. However, it was not meant to protect violent creeds such as Islam and self-serving groups such as the WSO.
Who do they think their are? The Shikhs want Canada to change to meet their ways. If they want to become Canadians maybe they should try to change their ways.
My question is and I respect all religions, why would anyone come to a place which has basic and prudent safety requirements that are so contrary and conflict with your religious beliefs
I draw the line at Islam. Islam is not a religion, Islam is a vile misogynistic totalitarian ideology invented by a murderous thieving raping thug that is hellbent on conguering the entire world
Hmm...the Libs are talking about relaxing/extending work visas for seasonal workers and international students for those whose visas are expiring shortly, many of whom are resisting going home. It's about changing the rules after the fact to avoid having too many visible minority illegals in the country, which would require a response from the Justice system. A special carve out is intended for those of them who choose to enter the construction trade where there is a need to build more housing, a shortage of which was caused by too much/too fast immigration in the first place. Now removing the safety requirements for these Sikhs entering the workforce will help lubricate this movement from the Tim Hortons of the land to construction sites.

Thank you for saying that. It has come to the point where if one disagrees with all these protectionist policies you are labeled a racist.

As soon as something like that is removed the Muslims win.
All I can say to them is gather you bed sheets and go home to your sikh land. Stay there, shut up, and don't call us, we'll call you when needed.

Guess we are going have to stall the space program until we can figure out how to make a suit for these guys and gals.
Looks like Canada is becoming a dumping ground for unwanted religious grifters.
Even Pierre Polieviere is catering to these grifters.
This is rediculious. Go the fack home if you don't like it here.
