This is the umpteenth time this has come up this year. Everyone gets their panties in a knot over the "War on Christmas". I've said in every instance that it should be ALL or NOTHING. Particularly in the public domain. Queens Park (Ontario) has it correct: "Queen's Park, where there are Christmas trees aplenty this time of year, also celebrates Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and other traditions.". I also think the judge got it right. All or Nothing. Especially when we are dealing with taxpayer money.

Anyone else find humour in HOZ posting an article promoting the "wonderful privilege of building a pluralistic, multicultural society"?  |
Ohhhh....so a Christmas Tree is wrong in a court house but swearing an oath isn't?
It isn't ALL or nothing. We are not going to spend the same amount of time and money on religous festivals such as scientology as we would with Christianity. Can you not understand that?
