A kinfe is still a knife no matter what cute name you decide to call it. I was born in Canada(sure my distant relatives probably were not and it is Native North American land but that is another topic that isn't WEAPON related) Anyway, in Canada I am NOT allowed to carry a knife over a certian length or double edged-that's for hunting humans and nothing else. Finally someone(Quebec)is standing up againt persons who are using whatever excuses they can find to break the law and not be charged with an offence. If I went to the punjab region and were female do you think their gov't would say I don't need to wear a burka like ALL the female reporters I see on the news who have to wear some kind of cover over their head to stay legal? What if I broke some other kind of law in that area? Usually persons who break ANY law get hung or body parts removed. You live in this country we call Canada and want to stay legal then don't break the law. If you don't like the laws in Canada then go back where whatever it may be, like carrying a weapon for hunting humans, is legal. Handguns for example-illegal to have in Canada, but is o.k. in the U.S.A. So if you were from the U.S.A. and always carried a handgun on your person then moved to Canada and still carried it, the police would charge you with something and take your weapon. you would have to leave your handgun behind to stay legal and if you didn't like it then you would have to go home to carry that weapon. Do you think the Canadian gov't would let people from the U.S.A. break the law and carry a handgun if the clamed it was for religeous purposes? Money from the U.S.A. says 'in god we trust' and they are also a 'melting pot' meaning you move to U.S.A. then you leave your old country behind and become a citizen of the U.S.A., so in a sense their constitution is part of their religeon, and the right to bear arms(carry a handgun), is a religeous practice. Would Canada be discriminating against a minorty if people from the U.S.of A. told our gov't they are allowed to carry handguns for whatever reason and our gov't said 'No you're not, go home where it's legal to carry a weapon"? Why is it diffrent for other persons from other parts of the would to carry weapons in Canada then? Sure in Canada we welcome the multi-cultural lifestyle, but where do we draw the line? BTW: spousel rape is not allowed in Canada and the same religeous excuse was used to try and make that legal in this country like that carrying a weapon for hunting humans was.
