More reason to love Canada
22 August 2004 by Ron Oh, Canada! I love you more with every passing day:
Citizenship and Immigration Canada has banned the Canadian Bible Society from giving out Bibles at citizenship ceremonies, saying the practice is not consistent with the federal government’s secular nature. “We find that allowing holy books to be made available at citizenship ceremonies detracts from this message and could be construed as a tacit endorsement of certain religions,” the citizenship department told the society in a recent letter.
Read it: Bibles banned from citizenship ceremonies. Man; this kind of shit almost makes me wish I spoke French. OK, not really. But still.
