The Canadian Human Rights Commission says it received so much backlash following its report last fall that described Christmas as a discriminatory holiday rooted in “colonialism,” that it became concerned with staff safety.
An Oct. 23 report from the commission called Canada’s celebration of Jesus’s birth “an obvious example” of “systemic religious discrimination.” The report caused an uproar among the public and in Parliament and led to the adoption of a Bloc Québécois motion in the House of Commons in support of Christmas.
