Kirpan Policy for Amritdhari Khalsa Sikhs Introduced for B.C. Courthouses

[Buggernut]

The real question would be - What would the founders of Canada say if they were alive today?

[Wetcoaster]

It's not about being uninformed. It's about being consistent IN PRINCIPLE. I don't dislike Sikhs nor am trying to be mean or unwelcoming to them in any way. I just want everybody to live by the same rules.

Did the people of Canada ever get to have a vote and a say in the matter on this in any way?

I have no more questions, Wetcoaster explained everything..!

Meanwhile in India gang raping and killing tourists is of the norm..

I think Canada is getting the short end of the stick on these cultural exchange programs.

The fact that we bend over to make our country comfortable to nationalities with backwards ideologies. When these countries have little desire to adapt and change to our standards.

Why are we the only ones forced to make compromise on our standards and laws?

[UFTcan]

As wetcoaster has said its a lving tree deal

since Canada has no culture we have to adopt other peoples cultures until its a melting pot

were if your not a part of another culture or religion you will be assimilated.

^^^^ Westcoaster is that you???

Craigslist Rants and Raves is leaking. Quick, someone fix it.

I disagree, Canada's culture has deep eastern european roots, and our government and law is based off of British rule, standards and values.

People being allowed to carry weapons around, especially in courtrooms where tensions can run high, is never a good thing.

For those saying oh why cant other non-Sikhs have Kirpans in the courtroom.

First off, what is your reasoning for carrying one into the court room? Nothing. Just trying to start something for no reason because you have nothing better to do.

Second, only those who are highly religious carry them, which is usually an adult-elderly person. And those who are extremely religious, carry the Kirpan with good intentions, for the religious purpose, not self defence.

Of course the odd time stuff does happen, but what can you do.
