Where are all you Canadian Saddo veterans? give the man a break. @CFH and @Nameless are you both still having a Terence & Philip like farting argument over Jamie Oliver, can't you just both ignore him and share some poutine ? and @Youngblood, quit dreaming of covering Missy in Maple syrup and get with the program

I am not familiar with this particular charter but I think the (excuse the pun) crux of it is pretty universal and something that many countries legislators are trying to wrestle with.
Both the cross and the hijab are cultural and not religious phenomena anyway so if a person decides to become a public servant then they should be aware that entails adapting their own behaviour in the service of others. Quite how Christians can venerate the supposed instrument of Jesus death in such a clearly Bible defying Idolatrous way is beyond me. Also the hijab in a Western country seems like the most immodest thing one could possibly choose to wear. It's like saying look at me and how not content with wearing a modest neutral head covering like a scarf or hat I choose to be more modest than anybody else and cover everything that God created except my beautiful eyes ? Are all men considered so one dimensional and perverted that they can only think one thing when looking at a Women or is it more to do with subjugation and the imposition of power ?

I agree with IamInuit it's basic common sense.
