Canada?s Muslim Mounties allowed to wear hijabs on duty
Canadian government on serious drugs.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have given official permission to female officers to wear hijabs along with their famous British-style red uniforms in hopes that the stunning measure will boost recruitment of Muslim women and promote diversity. ?The commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) recently approved this addition to the uniform,? Scott Bardsley, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, told AFP on Tuesday. ?This is intended to better reflect the diversity in our communities and encourage more Muslim women to consider the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as a career option,? he added. Police in Britain, Sweden, and Norway, as well as some US states, have adopted similar uniform policies, Bardsley said. The decision to allow hijabs was first approved in mid-January, but was officially announced on Tuesday, according to local daily La Presse, which cited internal correspondence between Goodale and RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson. Three types of hijabs were tested before one was selected as suitable for police activities, according to the newspaper. The RCMP has become the third Canadian police agency to allow hijabs to be worn on duty. Toronto police first allowed it in 2011 and Edmonton police give it the green light in 2013, according to Commissioner Paulson?s note cited by La Presse. The RCMP uniform ? a red serge tunic, leather riding boots, and wide-brimmed Stetson campaign hat ? is iconic for Canadians and has only undergone minor changes since it was first introduced in the 1800s, largely influenced by British military traditions of the time. Prior to the uniform change, some 30 officers had asked for the rules to be relaxed for religious or cultural reasons over the past two years, La Presse reported. In most cases, the officers wanted to grow beards. In early 1990, RCMP Sikh officers were allowed to wear turbans, and general attitudes towards the uniforms have softened since then. Encouraging diversity appears to be a significant part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau domestic policy. Earlier on Tuesday, he dismissed the idea of Canada imposing a burkini ban ? a hot and pressing issue across Europe. ?In Canada, can we speak of acceptance, openness, friendship, understanding? It is about where we are going and what we are going through every day in our diverse and rich communities,? he was cited as saying by AFP. |
I don't give a shit what they wear as long as they're not stuffing their mouths full of donuts when they're supposed to be getting the scumbags off the streets.

What makes you think that a Muslim woman who wants to (or feels she needs to) wear a hijab would want to be a RCMP officer?
The whole idea is a non-starter IMHO. |

There's nothing wrong with wearing a hijab at any job. Problems come up when dumb ass flight attendants say they can't serve alcohol because of their religion...or county clerks can't issue a marriage license because they're anti-gay.

this is the problem, you are not in a situation to point out whether a $5 raffle ticket is a good idea because you do not run this business. However, I can point out, it is stupid for Canada to allow people to change the uniform to allow people to work for certain jobs. A builder needs to wear a hard hat, a hostess needs to pour alcoholic drinks & a security or Mountie should not have loose material around the head as this can be dangerous to the job, easy to grab & make that person accessible to harm... now, back the fuck off you idiot :2 cents: |

I rather enjoyed your IQ deficient dribble of an excuse how head scarves are dangerous, ill give you a perfect 5/7 for desperation :thumbsup |

The Canadians should not have changed the uniform to suit religion because of safety & security. As in any security position, like a police officer, the tie is clip on... the scarve is dangerous you fucking stupid moron. Please, accept you're an idiot & leave me the fuck alone :thumbsup Stay on topic crucishitter :winkwink: |

Justin's all about diversity, but when an Islamic whack job sets off a bomb in a small Canadian town and gets himself executed by police, it takes a week for him to even mention a single thing about it. Don't want to piss off any of our new immigrants after all. And thanks to the US for warning us about him or he would have set off his 2 bombs in a crowded area instead of in a taxi cab.

Our cops carry handguns here. Although I'm not sure many of them know how to use them.

change the topic, yeah, what ever, you're wrong & your morals are wrong. End of, in security, you cannot wear earrings, you cannot wear lose clothing, as you can't if you're in any police force or army. Anything wrapped around the head will cover hearing loss & can lead to you not being able to do your job properly. Gloria, Stop before you have a brain cell grow & you realize how incorrect you are in life :1orglaugh Why are you bringing up my partners penis, are you obsessed by him, have you been looking at him? If you want to speak to me, you don't have to refer to a name, my username is gspotproductions or just speak you complete idiot :321GFY |

I recall back in the late 80s in Toronto they had debates about them carrying a khirpan to school. They eventually caved in and allowed the ceremonial daggers in schools.
Two weeks later a student was stabbed with one. That went well. |
