I like the brief paragraph in there about the new requirements for passengers. It's like OH MY GOD THEY'RE CHANGING HELMET LAWS pppssssttttt and passengers too......
Meanwhile back in Ontario, a similar law they tried to pass caused a huge stir.
Winners never quit, quitters never win, and those who don't try are just idiots

It's important to remember they have provincially-run insurance out there..

I'm conflicted being a turban wearing Sikh.
I enjoy wearing my sexy Arai RX-Q and I'm glad they don't allow an exemption over here in Ontario, but on the other end, I'm also happy for my Sikh brothers/sisters in BC that have an exemption.
The Sikh community in BC isn't like the Sikh community in Ontario. They have a lot of Sikh's in power and they know how to stick together.. I'm sure they'll keep the exemption for Sikh's.

I'm too sexy for my turban.
If they fight for this, they should fight for EVERYONE, not just their own little group.
As a Canadian I could give a rats *** if anyone wears a helmet or not (the argument about shared health care is BS) so if you want to argue that it violates your religious rights, you should argue full stop that no-one should be subject to it, not just your "special group"
There, I said that in a decent way I think... maybe not

people whine about lots of things, doesn't mean its legitimate.
There are tons of religious exemptions for all sorts of things, the sikh one just doesn't apply to white people.
See the pious life exemptions in the income tax act for the devout, plus are general taxation principles for churches.
