    I'm afraid this is an easy dodge for them. Didn't the province of British Columbia have an ordinance underlying the legal recognition

    of any church specifying that any church trial be done in front of all the church members? The Society just dodges this stuff

    by disassociating anyone who dares to bring a lawyer into the matter. They just tell everyone you're no longer a Witness.

    That would be a decision made by a Religious Tribunal, would it not? They can't DA someone for exercising their civil rights under the law. At least, they shouldn't be able to do that.

    Following widespread condemnation of a plan that would formally allow the tenets of sharia to be used in resolving family disputes, the Premier said he'll make the boundaries between church and state clearer by banning faith-based arbitrations.

    WOW! Just try to do that in the US..... the first amendment would be waved and flown as if it never has been! The aclu would flood the courts with lawsuits

    Good for Ontario!.

    People need to realize when you go to a NEW COUNTRY, you are bound by THEIR laws. If you don't LIKE THEIR LAWS, go the hell home. When you go to a new country, it is only mandatory that you speak THEIR language. We didn't ask you to come here, we only welcomed you here. If you don't like our laws, our language, our culture, go ghe HELL HOME. We have no need of you. If our country is so bad, and you hate it, then get the hell home and spare us the whining. If you don't like living here, and have complaints, go the hell home, okay? We don't need people that have negative attitudes.

    If you don't like our culture, our habits, our traditions, get the hell outta our country. We dont' WANT you, anyway. When you come to this country, you need to learn to speak English. We shouldn't cater to YOU, we shouldn't set up separate phone lines just because you choose to speak Spanish or French. This country's chosen language is English, and if you can't learn it, go the hell HOME! This country is based on English speaking, and to be politcally corret, corporations have bent to having lines that have a Spanish and French line, which is ridivulous. They need to cater to our OWN country! If you want to be in OUR COUNTRY, LEARN OUR LANGUAGE. If you don't want to, go the hell home.
