Cop or Reason to be Concerned?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

God forbid that this guy arrests me wearing that turban. If so I might have my\u00a0<\/span><\/span>fingerprints<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>taken by someone wearing a kirpan (never mind the gun on his hip). Then I might have to go to court and face a judge who believes something I don’t believe, which I suppose would be the case anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then if I go to prison I might be subjected to a prison guard wearing a cross, provided it’s a really big cross. And while in prison my children would be at daycare being looked after by someone wearing, well, who knows? I think you get the picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

If I find myself in a position where I am being arrested the last thing I’m going to concern myself with is what the guy with the handcuffs and the gun is wearing on his head.<\/span><\/p>\n

As much as I believe in a secular society, and as much as I believe that overt religious symbols are unnecessary (for the record it’s not necessary to wear a Habs jersey to the game either) I couldn’t care less if a government worker wears one. I’d much prefer they be friendly and competent than secular and I certainly don’t want the Partis Quebecois deciding what constitutes appropriate attire and what doesn’t.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>National Pardon Centre<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>opposes this charter and believes it is yet another case of politicians serving themselves and their agendas, rather than the people they were elected to represent.<\/span><\/p>\n
