Judicial activism strikes again. That judge was surely Liberal-appointed as well, by Chretien most likely.

Let the judge do this. It's unlikely that leftists will be able to reproduce themselves in the long run.

Actually a nice Nativity scene would be better than a Christmas tree.

There is no free speech in Canada either. Quoting the Bible can end you up in jail in Canada.

[A Toronto judge has ordered a Christmas tree out of a downtown provincial courthouse lobby, saying it's not an appropriate symbol to non-Christians. The move by Justice Marion Cohen has upset staff, some of whom call the decision stupid and insulting.]
They'd better watch that hate speech, too. Calling the decision "stupid" might be offensive to the intellectually handicapped.

Cohen says she understands the small tree has stood in the lobby at 311 Jarvis St. for years during the Christmas season, but in a letter to employees says non-Christians are "confronted" with the artificial decoration, which makes them feel "they are not part of this institution.'' Of course, Canada does not have a corner on moron judges; it simply underscores the failure of the system to allow the political dimension in appointing them.
This statement is absurd in the extreme, since the potential "victim" trumps everyone else's right in being able to define a grievance as anything. Unless there is an objective means of defining valid complaints; it is sophistry in the extreme.
The second deadliest threat to Western culture is Political Correctness. Second only to islam.

Awwww, I thought this was a Cowboys thread!
Kidding aside, this is idiotic. I hope the backlash on this is huge.

I bet if it was a called a "Druid tree" to celebrate the solstice, no one would have complained...

You'd think with a name like Cohen she'd recuse herself.

The lady needs to resign. She's just demonstrated she lacks the judgment to make reasonable decisions.

First of all, a Christmas tree is not a Christian symbol.

So disobey the order. Put the Christmas tree up , don't rant about it and see what happens. It is time to do some civil disobedience on some of these lefty decisions that have no point in accepted law. Enough is enough.

What a bunch of crap! Christmas trees are NOT a Christian symbol, no more than Santa Claus. Almost everyone celebrates this national holiday in one way or another, buying gifts for loved ones, etc. It's all horse puckey.

The move by Justice Marion Cohen has upset staff, some of whom call the decision stupid and insulting...no, no - the magic word is "offensive" - of course, just as non-whites can't be "racists", so Christians can't be offended, but it seems to work so well for others, why not at least give it a try......

Oh! This is in Canada.... Scared me for a minute....
Thank God that here in the United States we have a Bill of Rights, and the First Amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...."
And so here in the United States, if some scumbag liberal Democrat judge tried to do what this Canadian judge did, everybody would laugh and say to the scumbag judge, "Go play in the street, you p.o.s."
To: Heartofsong83
This honourable judge has demonstrated that she is religiously biased in her judgement.
Does it mean that if we find ourselves in front of the Canadian judge have to worry about his/her religious affiliation?
Ms. Cohen should be forced to resign.

non-Christians are "confronted" with the artificial decoration, which makes them feel "they are not part of this institution.'' I assume she is talking about herself.
That's the problem with judges. At some point they start to think that they are gods themselves and they don't want to be reminded of a higher power.
