You do not have to go to Germany to see crucifixes. In Quebec they seem to be in every public space including the legislature.
In Winnipeg take a walk through St Boniface Hospital. The majority of the monies to run the Hospital come from the provincial government, yet the Hospital has crucifix all over the place. The same is true for all the Christian Colleges at U of M. They are also run by public money.
My point is lets look in our own back yard before pointing fingers elsewhere in the world. It is certainly clear we live in Canada in a Christian society. Meaning all Non-Christians are a minority in the country. There are times as Jews we need to be reminded of this.
There needs to be further dialogue on the issue. Only by understanding each other better will we see the commonalities between ourselves. I teach a course at Brandon University on Diversity and Business in Canada. It is the only diversity course taught in a business program in Western Canada. All are welcome to monitor the course if you wish.
