Treat all religions the same. In my case I ignore them.

Yes it is. In Ontario the government has Catholic public institutions (Catholic schools receive public funding) and in Québec there is a crucifix in the national assembly and huge cross in Mont-Royal on public land.

Non-Christian religions are false
Well, I guess you have your life’s work cut out for you, since it would require major constitutional amendments. You’d better stop indulging yourself in posing idle questions on c-d and start cracking, because you’ve got a very long row to hoe.

BTW, all religions are false. Or, one religion is no truer than any other.

This will bring in nice revenue to the nation which could help pay for many things.
It’d be nice if they then become dhimmis and felt themselves subdued from acid attacks, terror, and honor killings.

Some Muslim majority countries in the ME temporarily imposed higher taxes on foreign workers which in many countries comprise the majority of employed people.
I wonder why still people work there. Indo-Pak-Bangla people should go back and get the camel rides back.

Sure but why stop there, there are a lot more Christians in the country than Muslims. We can make much much more money taxing both.

We have separate school boards, and they're not just Catholic. They're predominately Catholic, as that's traditionally the larger part of the population, but they also include the Hebrew Schools. This is because they don't allow Charter schools outside of the system.


If you knew anything about the history of Canada, you'd know better.
