>The decision states that Air Canada violated the Canadian Human Rights Act when it placed the pilots on unpaid leave
We should also force Air Canada to apologize in both French and English!
“sincere religious belief”. Ha ha ha… bullshit.
Good. I feel like other religions would have been granted the exception, but because the pilots were Christian, they were held to higher scrutiny.
>Air Canada had required religious objectors to submit a letter from a religious leader explaining why they could not be vaccinated.
>However, arbitrator James Hayes states that the seven Christian pilots should have been granted exemptions despite presenting no letters, given their requests were “grounded in sincere religious conviction” and that proof from an authority should not be required.
This does not seem to be that high of a bar that AC required. And if you couldn’t find a single ordained minister to write you a letter, was there really any doctrinal reason to believe you needed a religious exemption?
I absolutely believe in the duty to accomodate – but it seems the airline had a reasonable framework for accomodations and these pilots choose not to follow it while other pilots who followed the framework DID get the exemption.
Same thing happened in my city, I work in government. The ones who refused to get covid shots were put on a sort of permanent leave, but still in the union. A few years later the city was ordered to pay those covid deniers the entire lost pay for when they weren’t working. They got over 2 years pay for being told to not to go to work. And many of them had 2nd jobs going while they were on leave. Covid deniers came out huge in terms of government jobs.
What religion exempts vaccines? Fucking bullshit.
nobody should be given an exemption for things concerning public health for ridiculous reasons like religion
The govt should pay the fine. They were the ring leaders.
I hate air Canada but this is fucked.
Why are we enabling this behavior?
Didn’t this happen with the military as well?
Where in the bible does it mention vaccines?
Honestly even if it did, why do people get special privileges for following an old book? I dont give af about your sincerely held beliefs if they are spreading diseases.

Religion shouldn’t be an acceptable reason to exempt someone from medical requirements like vaccinations, that’s absolute insanity. There’s nothing based on science or their health. Putting vulnerable people at risk isn’t justifiable purely based on beliefs.
You can choose religion/principals over employment/safety or others. Up to you. But you shouldn’t get both.
If i want to drive on roads I have to get a license and pay for insurance.
I lump this into the category of not vaccinating your kids but wanting them to go to public schools.
What happened to „my body, my choice.“?
Anti-Vaxxers are funny. They refuse actual science but will pump their bodies with booze, drugs, cigarettes, food that is mixed with all sorts of random chemicals that nobody can pronounce, take meds without question and other various things….But that vaccine that you know, helps to eradicate and control diseases…NOPE!
The „religion“ excuse needs to be investigated, because I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say anywhere in any religious text „thou shalt not take a life-saving vaccine“.
If this is allowed, then anyone can refuse anything based on religion.
This is ridiculous, what’s next? Religious exemption for doctors to not sanitize themselves?
Religion is the worst thing to happen to humanity
I do not know any religion where Covid-19 vaccinations are prohibited.
Do you? I would love to know.
I love how the left loves to tout the „my body my choice“ slogan except when it came to COVID vaccines.
Lmao „sincere religious beliefs“ no they’re not
