BINGO! This is my view exactly! If you need Friday afternoons off for religous reasons then get a Sunday-Thursday job...don't DEMAND Fridays off because it's "for a religous reason" yeah...certain holidays won't be an "official" holiday and if you need them off for religous reasons that's fine...but when it's the same day EVERY week then find a job that fits your schedule, don't try to force a job to fit it. I wouldn't be any LESS wrong for my mom to try to demand time off on Sundays for church because she took the job KNOWING she would have to work two sundays a month...I like how Canada can ACCEPT other cultures and not force them to change...but what I DON'T like and will NOT stand for is when people of other cultures come here and start demanding special treatment and exceptions to the rules!

their new home of relegious freedoms? Sounds like this guy has a hate on for all things not christian..like the germans had a hate on for all things not german.
immigrants do adapt, but at the same time they bring stuff too, new foods, new cultures etc. makes life more interesting. as to a guy who can't work friday afternoons, well while I think he should make an arraingment to make up or those hours, also think why for the longest time everything was closed on sundays.

sounds to me like he wants every one to live like a good christian, to hell with diversity. (funny enough it was that attitude that made the pilgrims leave england).

said nothing about hyphens, just respecting others beliefs. I have no problem with a mountie wearing a turban. What if I wanted to wear a yamuka and my bosses said not too. If I prayed on saturday instead of sunday.
we are all canucks, and I think we should be proud of our diversity, that is what makes the country great. All these people who are against immigrants, who bring their ways and peices of where they came from with them should remember if we get rid of all immagrants all we are left with are native americans. People who are saying adopt our christian ways whould remember those christian ways where brought over on a boat.
Yes they can't have everything, no sharia laws etc. but as long as they follow the laws of the land, let them dress, eat, pray however they want.

I'm not getting into the moutie debate but I am asking you...what about a job where you're required to wear a hardhat? Don't you think if someone who wears a turban takes said job they should be required to modify their turban so the hardhat can fit over? Since it's a matter of safety. Or, if you wanted to pray on Saturday don't you think that you should take a job where Saturday was not a scheduled day to work? Instead of demanding time off EVERY Saturday for "religious reasons"?

I'm an immigrant. Let's just get that out of the way.
Immigrants don't leave places because everything's hunky dory at home. They leave because of persecution. They leave because there's no food, no jobs, no hope. They're looking for a beter place. A better way.
Well Sunshine, what the hell did you think made this place a better place than where you were? If everyone here did things exactly like you did at in your old country, it would be exactly like your old county, no? It's called the big picture. Doing things that you did when you were poor there will keep you poor here. What didn't work there won't work any better here.
That said, we didn't leave because we were poor. Dad was well educated, and earned a damn good wage. We were well housed, well fed. Why did we leave? Call it the explorer spirit. We wanted to see new things, new places. So we crossed an ocean, and lived with new people, speaking a strange language. A language we learned. Customs we learned. And we added ourselves to those people. We didn't give up ourselves. We added them to us, and us to them, and we were all the better for it.

Well an immigrant should have the right to speak his native tongue and require his new country to learn his language and adopt his religion affording special rights to him because of his religion and allow his children to burn up 5,000 cars and raid warehouses and superstores at will and make the country he moves into illegally just like the 3rd werld cesspool he left.
