They are literally renaming 'Christmas' into "Winter Holidays" and shit like that. Happens in Europe too btw. There have also been cases where HR in corporations urged managers to no longer wish their employees a "Happy Christmas" since that would be "culturally insensitive".


That's not some immigrants coming in to kick people off of Christmas. That's corporations wanting to appeal to the broadest audience so they can get their money.

As usual the powerless (immigrants) are being blamed for the actions of the powerful (corporations)

The holiday best wishes in internal emails dont affect a corporation's audience or bottom line.
Schools and city halls wouldnt rename holidays and traditions to accommodate the migrants among them if there werent at least some of them who call for this kind of cultural accommodation.

Schools and city halls have an obligation to do so. Freedom of religion bro.

Corporate wants customers and workers to feel comfortable since turnover increases cost and so does customer retention.

You're wasting your time. The dude is ignorant to the fact that he wants to force Christmas on to everyone else while forcing everyone who doesn't, to celebrate in private.

People too busy sucking the Jesus dick and drinking his kool-aid to have any semblance of self awareness in this God damn country.

All these Catholics preach about the Bible and "muh way of life" but only 15% of them practice their faith weekly. 49% of Catholics attend Christmas mass, 39% hardly ever attend (So let's say twice a year), and 20% never attend mass. I'd put a strong bet on a higher percentage don't even pray at home or follow the teachings of the Scripture. I know this first-hand as I was raised a Catholic and my family considered themselves such but never followed the teachings. It's just some old "heritage" that people grasp onto to validate their beliefs instead of using critical thinking, morality, and ethics, to create their personality and belief system. I don't hold this view just on Catholicism also - I hold it with all religions. I think there needs to be a separation of Religion from every other aspect of people's lives. Get it out of schools unless you're teaching a world religions class that explains the theological beliefs of all religions, get it out of our Parliament, get them to pay proper taxes as all organizations do, and I guarantee you'd see an even larger decrease in religious beliefs.

Thankfully the percentage of Canadians who follow a religion is decreasing as the years come.

Sorry I quoted you then went on a long rant - reading some people's opinions on matters such as this, on sites like this (and Reddit/Twitter) really make me question my sanity.

Now that's particularly rich. How about asking muslim countries to abandon or change their cultural / religious celebrations because of christian white folk that migrated to their countries.

At the very least this would trigger WW3.

Leftist zealots should sober the fuck up and start realizing that every country or people has the right to their own culture and heritage so that includes western countries.

Don't like it? Don't fucking come here and stay in your own country where ofc everything is better ;)

Thanks for reenforcong my viewpoint further.

Canada's culture has become a melting pot for tradition and religion. Don't like it? Leave.

Majority of Canadians aren't Catholic. Why are we still expecting everyone to drink the Catholic Kool-Aid? I also think that if people are so reliant on religion to define their "culture and heritage" then that's pretty sad and one dimensional.

Canadian culture and heritage goes further than just old-school Catholic virtues and values.

Glad to see you admitting that you just dont care about the first amendment and individual freedoms. Most people try to hide it so its nice you are so open about being a bad person.

Thx for reinforcing my point by posting some crazy ass deflection. I'm happy you're volunteers to go to muslim countries and tell them that national and religious values don't exist anymore in the age of leftist wokeness.

I will tune in to the new to see the enraged mobs stone you for the whole world to watch. Idiots.

America, home of the brave and land of the people who just leave if they don't like it their freedoms being violated.

Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

You're quite the disciple eh ^^

Muslim countries, home of fanatics and of the people who will stone or whip you to death if you want to violate their cultural heritage.

Now that doesn't roll off the tongue because woke leftists will try to get you sacked / in jail for saying that ;)
