The exemption has been in place for years. It was meant to accommodate people such as so-called Old Order Mennonite and Hutterite sects, whose strict interpretation of the Bible forbids the possession of “graven images” which they believe includes photographs of themselves or others. Most of these people are rural farmers, who would possess a rifle to shoot varmints and such.

If there are members of any other religious group who follow a similar tenet, they can apply for the exemption. You must apply, in person, with a written declaration from a religious leader that you follow this practice.

You can’t claim the exemption simply by saying you belong to Religion X if you have a couple dozen selfies on your FaceBook page. You cannot claim the exemption if you hold a passport, which requires you to have a photo, thus rendering your claim moot. You can’t claim the exemption if you have a driver’s licence which also requires you to have a photo, as per the Supreme Court.

The exemption wasn't created for Muslims and there is nothing in the Muslim religion that claims they can't have their photos taken.


Rebel Media would have you believe this is a “Muslim!” thing. I can’t imagine why.

What scares you about it? Unless you work at a gun store, you will probably never see anyone's PAL to know whether there is a picture on it or not.

Rebel Media is a racist trash rag source of false and misleading information and bold face lies. It seems to me the ignorant, uneducated bigots love to eat up and regurgitate this trash to other bigots and racists. This article is disgusting, divisive and criminal.

Publications like these, that perpetuate lies and spread hate speech, should be shut down and the editors should be prosecuted.

Hopefully they will allow me to wear my colander for my next PAL photo, given I’m a pastafarian it should be my religious right.

Seriously?! The guy who is running it is a Jew, one of the reporters is a black dude, he has a few ladies there who are a top notch journalists unlike the CBC bunch of imbeciles... Rebel News is probably one of the best news companies in Canada now. Not the perfect one - but who is?

Have you ever encountered one of the tiny amount of people with no picture on their PAL, when selling your used stuff? If not you're making a big issue out of nothing. If it bothers you that they don't have a picture, as a private seller you could refuse to sell to them.

Ezra Lavant may run it, but he admits he is no reporter, and has stated so in court. He made the platform to sell his agenda.

We have a severe shortage of news without pundit/political/agenda leanings in Canada at this time. I’ll go so far as to say the world.

I feel the same, I shut it down as soon as I saw the Rebel logo. I will say they know their audience.

Lol. People described in post #3 are also, ironically, “causian”. I am guessing you meant Caucasian? Guys like you crack me up. Hard to be a white person, isn’t it?

Comparing Rebel and the like to the CBC is also quite ridiculous.

I provided my opinion on a publication and did not ask to be the subject of your personal attacks or aggression. That will get you banned - so you might want to take a breath and think about that if you want to be allowed to stay in the sand box and share the toys.

I do, however, love your quite intellectually compelling argument where I myself, must be a bigot, ........ quite compelling and thought provoking ....... and much more effective as an argument that a simple "you smelt it - you dealt it" attack I was expecting.

6 posts and throwing insults. Not an auspicious debut by any means. You better reign it in. Consider this notice that you will be watched pretty closely.

This would have need just another one of the many problem issues that were not thought out when making the gun laws.
We should start a new AO religion that also does not allow photos.
We would probably have a lot of followers.

One of the positive things of the LGR from days gone by, is it took the onus off of the seller to confirm the validity of the buyers ability to possess a firearm. When I have spoken to a CFO in the past, just checking one has the correct credentials does not relive you of the responsibility.

You call them trash, liars, racists, bigots, disgusting, and criminal. You say they should be shut down their editors prosecuted. Would you say you are being "tolerant" or "intolerant"?

Sorry sir. How many posts do you need to be allowed to use insults? Obviously by 7000 you are allowed to post them with impunity....

Should make it the same for everyone, different rules for different people cause division.

I think the most prominent reason why the Rebel Media sticks out to people is we as Canadians are so used to being hosed down with liberal media, the stark contrast is shocking. I feel the Rebel and CBC are equally on different sides of the spectrum. Its good to have a contrast as the truth is in the middle.

Yes, I am intolerant of racism, bigotry and will continue to call out publications that publish lies to entice hate.

I (and I'm sure many on here) would love to hear your opinion of the CBC if this is your opinion of the Rebel.
