The only thing I really have against the Sikh people is that they couldn't respect Canadian traditions and forced laws to change to respect Sikh tradition/religion
Yes I agree, in BC (and other provinces as well), everybody driving a motor bike has to wear a helmet, but the Sikhs don't need to wear one if they are wearing a turban.
But they are still covered by taxpayer health care if their heads gets injured in an accident.
Criticism that is academic.
There is a fine distinction between belief and compulsion. For example, I believe people should watch their diet and eat healthy nutritious food. But if someone lives an unhealthy lifestyle of eating junk food and no exercise I disagree with such a lifestyle but don't presume to compel such people to conform to my particular beliefs. Now amulets that people wear for some sort of supernatural protection is nothing but pure idolatry.
Slaughtering of an animal for food has to be practiced in such a way that the objective of draining the animal of as much blood as possible is achieved to the maximum extent possible. This is why we neither stun the animal, but slaughter it live, with an extremely sharp knife, cutting it in the throat in a swift motion that immediately cuts its blood vessels and windpipe (trachea), but not the spinal chord. Hindus or Sikhs, however, practice the method of jhatka, which means they behead the animal altogether in a swift swing of a sword. To eat the meat of such an animal is not only unhealthy as the blood isn't drained, it is like eating an animal that died from a blow or accidental death like falling etc. Such meat is in reality carrion.
As for the method of slaughtering animal by Christians, or the modern Western methods, they do all kinds of bizarre things, like suffocating chicks, electrocuting the animals, smashing their skulls, etc. Hence the meat from your local grocery store or butchery is likewise carrion, and we are forbidden from eating carrion. Better to eat Kosher or Halal meat rather than carrion

A sword symbolizes the compelling power of truth and the tradition of armed defense and martial arts. There is also a sword on the flag of Sri Lanka, Kenya's flag has a shield and two spears, Mozambique's flag bears a rifle, Barbados has a trident, Angola a machete, Belize a club and axe and Swaziland two spears.
But our favorite ways of killing animals is to chase the over a high cliff. It works best this way.
One place here is called Smashed in Head.
How do you kill infedels??
So you saying that if a Hindu slaughtered an animal in the manner you require then you can eat it even if he is an idolater?
No.
See my blog for further details
رَبَّ جِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ حَر¡
A sword ain't a symbol of truth, it's a symbol of power. Like the man said, war don't decide who's right, it decides who's left.

So your advocating we go back to First Nations narratives but then you believe that those same narratives are sinful?
I don't display any national flags because I reject nationalism and patriotism. The flag in my avatar isn't the flag of any nation, it is a purely religious banner that represents my sect. Despite being an Indo-Canadian, I neither display India's national flag nor Canada's.
I also do not stand for the national anthem, a judge, nor do I salute soldiers, celebrate Canada Day, or participate in any kind of nationalism whatsoever. I don't vote either.
Yea, nationalism is stupid.

You're mixing two things. One is a political statement, the other is an explanation of my personal religious beliefs. I said we should accept the First Nations narrative as the national narrative in the context of defining which civilization modern Canada ought to belong to. I did not say all we Canadians should adapt Indigenous beliefs or culture, far from it, we must maintain multiculturalism and our own distinctive identities. Canada is not one nation but many, this too must be maintained as the official narrative.
You don't deserve to be Canadian nor deserve to live in my country and use its benefits.
