Premier Dalton McGuinty says the province doesn't need a "Christmas tree placement policy" after a Toronto judge ordered a small tree removed from the lobby of a courthouse.
McGuinty says what's really needed is some open-mindedness.
McGuinty, who was visiting a Mississauga elementary school, says he doesn't understand how a menorah or a Christmas tree could offend anyone.
He says everyone could learn from the school children he met who celebrate the faiths and traditions of many cultures.
Ontario Court Justice Marion Cohen ordered a Christmas tree moved from the lobby of the Toronto courthouse to an out-of-the-way corridor because it was a Christian symbol that might make some people feel uncomfortable.
Attorney General Michael Bryant floated the idea of developing a Christmas tree placement policy for courthouses after the order sparked an outcry from Christians and non-Christians alike.

Right On The Money Dalton
If you want to bring in legislation bring in legislation that the provincial and municipal politicians and workers cannot substitute "holiday" for Christmas in greetings, signage, etc. And I promise I will not substitute anything for holidays like Ramadan, Hannakah, Kwanzaa, etc. To each his own.
