Which in itself is a terrible business plan. I personally say let private business have the right to serve who ever they want. Capitalism has taken its course We see endless governments deeply in debt We see people unable to afford to own homes or even eat while being gainfully employed We see corporations wielding more power than governments We see monopolys and oligarchs or corptocracys Capitalism has had its chance and essentially failed because only the supremely naive or essentially the stupid believe in a system predicated on "infinite growth" and a trickle down system All you're suggesting is the rise of once again segregation and open bigotry based on bias, prejudice hatred and racism which in all honesty is frigging dumb. Because only corporations would essentially serve everyone while small and private business would only serve those who their bias allowed. The advent of social media would essentially give people a nice heads up on who frequent vs not. The inevitable death of the mom and pop shop would be complete in due time Todays decision by the supreme court is essentially nothing more than telling Trinity they cannot exclude based on bigotry and instead must accept everyone equally based on simple human rights and equality. The sad thing is how angry everyone is, especially the religious right. Which in itself isn't surprising as them good god fearing folk seem to be the most hateful bunch of yokels this side of hardcore radical islam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If government can legislate against the personal beliefs of private entities based on arbitrary precepts then actively persecute them for it, then anyone cheering it must not be dismayed when the same comes to bite them at some point in the future. Nobody is safe, at all. And of course it shows their typical disingenuity, with the "oh this won't be mandated against anyone's personal or private beliefs." But that's nothing new for anyone who understands how government operates; this is par for the course and frankly fully expected. THIS is the "bottomless pit of problems" that has been opened up, so completely antithetical to a free society (for those who actually continue to believe we live in one). Amazing how readily and happily some celebrate tyranny. you've got it completely wrong imo. The Charter allows you to believe whatever you want, but you can't act out a belief that discriminates. That protects you from people that don't like your pov. A free society is one without discrimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school is a Christian school. As such, they follow the teachings of Christ who said, "‘Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one’?" They're following what they believe their founder said about sex and marriage. Where did Jesus ever say to stop providing service because of someone's sexuality? If anything, Jesus promotes loving one's so-called enemies, "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I know of many Christians who believe homosexuality is a sin because they believe this is what Jesus said and yet, they do not discriminate giving of themselves, their time and money to others despite the fact that the other persons are gay. The question is: if you know the other person is evangelical, how would you act? Great, and the other 4199 world religions have another pov. See the problem?

ronthecivil Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Perhaps the law society shouldn't be so discrimiting on education, and instead simply have a law test you need to pass in order to get in. Seems very protectionist to prevent people who didn't go to the right school to be discrimated against. Heck, even foreigners would understand many of the concepts, and be able to quickly learn to switch them over, and pass the test, and voila! new lawyer, cheaper rates, and better access to the law for everyone! While were at it, ditto doctors. We manage it fine in engineering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course stereotyping an entire province because you don't like their policies on a pipeline is tottally acceptable right? Anyone that doesn't agree with you MUST have gone to a low brow community college in deadread alberta, right? No doubt majoring in becoming a tractor pull technitian? P.S.

Too bad lawyers can't get over their own biases. I guess when by default you pretty much have no foreigners in your proffession it becomes normal to put up a fence to keep out those that don't fit your culture or world view.

A correct analogy would be an engineering school that wouldn't allow people in unless they agreed to a discriminatory policy. Engineers Canada would never accredit a program that did that.
