So many things wrong with this statement.
There's nothing wrong with that statement. Christmas is the predominant tradition on this continent for a myriad of reasons, and not just religious ones, like I said, it has transcended those. People should not have to hold their tongues, or have censorship placed on it (ie: Retail not playing Christmas music but only "seasonal music"). This is a Canadian tradition, has been since before it was a country... do you have to take part? No, people are free to practice anything they want. That being said, I think its disgusting that people think they can stifle it cause it doesn't line up with their beliefs that sit firmly in the minority. Society is pretty good about diversity, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere. You can practice anything you want, but our country's tradition is this, don't try and change it.
