Well of course saying Merry Christmas should be a crime! I mean it must be offensive to someone? Let's have an entire culture and society change to make things more inclusive for tiny minorities of people. That seems productive???

Canadians are also hitting their limit these days when it comes to the far-left, and it took a thinly veiled attack on Christmas to do it.
Part of the ongoing invasion of the woke movement involves regular attempts to undermine Christian holidays as “problematic” and archaic. Leftists argue that increasing diversity (mostly through open border policies or illegal immigration) requires increasing inclusion at the national level. Meaning, it is not for immigrants to adapt to the west, the west must adapt to them. National celebrations like Christmas are therefore a representation of “discrimination” because they are being given preference over minority holidays.
This was the message given by the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) in a paper published under the radar in October. The treatise on “Religious Intolerance” was then condemned in a motion unanimously adopted on Nov. 30 by the House of Commons, the lower chamber of the Canadian Parliament. The paper cited Christianity’s two biggest holy days (Christmas and Easter) as examples of “present-day systemic religious discrimination” linked to colonialism because they are statutory holidays in Canada.
The CHRC was established by the Canadian government in 1977 and claims to be an “independent” watchdog. It is empowered under the Canadian Human Rights Act to investigate and to settle complaints of discrimination in employment and in the provision of services within federal jurisdiction. The group is similar to the ACLU in that its momentum is ever to the deepest reaches of the political left. Their ideological positions carry weight in the higher echelons of government; for example, their paper attacking Christmas has since been avidly defended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. . .
The woke establishment effort to gratify minority concerns over all others stems from the illusion of equity – The false narrative that equal opportunity is not enough, and that equal outcomes must be codified. However, in any society where certain belief systems are the norm and have been since the the society was founded, it is not only naive to expect that country to bend to minority beliefs, it's dangerously delusional.
Religious freedom does not mean religious equity – There simply is no such thing. But the CHRC doesn't see it that way. They suggest that the existence of a western religious majority is in itself a form of racism. In other words, they expect western systems to self destruct so that foreign and minority philosophies can be accommodated. If the roles were reversed and Muslims were the majority in Canada with widely recognized Muslim holidays, it's unlikely the commission would be making the same argument. And, it is this double standard, the pervasive bias against the west just under the surface, that makes the public not trust woke ideologues.
