I could call you all you want but it won't get you the security job. I think you'd have to talk to the RCMP or something.Sure, just give me a call. When you come to Canada, everyone is equal whether you like it or not. And many immigrants to Canada don't want or like equality because they want to be superior. Such is the thinking in traditional Asian cultures which is also done in aboriginal groups in Canada. You don't get a choice regarding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
I don't care about Asia. It's off-topic. Canadian Asians are fine. When homeless persons finally have homes, then we will all be equal in reality.These Asian people come from class ridden societies where caste divides the low from the high and change is barely possible. Which causes among other things, honour killings, of mostly women. But also couples who marry against the will of local village elders. And if they don't return, their families back in the village are murdered.
Actually, cannabalistic societies still exist, yes, but the last I read, they are only symbolically cannabalistic.However, I don't think we are going to make room for cannibal cultures (those still exist right?) so we are clearly willing to draw some lines.
I don't care what you want to call it, I don't think there's any need to carry concealed weapons in public in Canada. I don't care if it's a religious symbol or a sexual fetish.
Many of our personal rights are over ruled in favour of public safety, and I'm completely against this foolishness.

If they are allowed to carry knives then I should be able to carry weapons also. The following quote is mine and many others creed. To us it is just as strong as any religious oath.
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We
are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

If there really was a danger to public safety, I would agree with you. Considerations of safety would trump religious freedom any day. However, RCMP has laid down reasonable guidelines. This, combined with the fact that to date there hasn’t been a single incidence involving kirpan, means that Sikhs get the benefit of doubt, in my opinion.

......except that teenager in Montreal a while back....but I think that one is still
ongoing so it might not count yet (trial may not be done, etc...).

So, you're saying that people carrying concealed weapons aren't a problem? Then I guess Colpy can bring his Browning to the Seadogs games (let me know what section you're in, would ya?).
As I said before, safety considerations trump religious freedom. When a religion mandates something, every reasonable attempt should be made to accommodate the religious beliefs.
Cool. Where did your people come from. Mine have been around Canada for some 12,000 years. Get off my island.TenPenny, we finally agree on something. The old saying 'when in Rome do as the Romans do' comes to mind here. If they want to wear their daggers they can go to their homeland and wear them there...
