  • @snowstormcan Religion creeps in through different ways. Saudi Arabia is spending millions on suppling books to our schools. These books have a different history in them. They also give tons of money to our universities and fund courses, all with the aim of pushing the islamic agenda forward. They even have prayer rooms in our public schools, a place where we thought religion was banned, guess not if it is islam.

  • @justanoldman1 how do you ban a religion from a legislature? How is religion even in the legislature to begin with?

  • The kirpan is not an offensive weapon in ancient times sikhs carried defensive arms when being attacked as well as victims of genocide in india. If we stop all forms of blades, should we stop builders from carrying tools, or barbers/tailors/butchers/chefs­/scissors/protractors/sharp pencils/razor blades in our society. In criminal law there are 2 things the intention to commit the crime and the crime itself with evidence. Why? due to intentions such as mental instability + environment factors

  • Religion and government do not go together, all signs of religion should be banned from the house.

  • @MegaJatts may i please use that line

  • the kirpan is an irrelevant in its original form. it's a dagger. we needed it historically to protect the vulnerable. now people are utilizing it to attack individuals, IE the brampton gurdwara. despite the isolated event, i cant say I 100% trust every sikh to be responsible with what is on their person. I completely understand why we want to represent that we are sikh-but we don't need to carry a dagger anymore. Items such as lapels as used for airline flights could be used instead.

  • now you know what kind of stuff the NDP stands for, vote for them in your constituency!
