Directives to military chaplains urge expunging God, religion from Remembrance Day, public ceremonies

[The Bread Guy]

No, because it has been made clear that complaints are seen as racist, or at the very least paint you are a racist leaning person...

Take for example the Eagle Staff. It is carried and talked about at CAF events, yet there is no equivalent Christian, Islamic, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, or other animist relic carried. The Eagle Staff is talked about in entirely religious wording, but we pretend it isn't religion because it's inconvenient.

The disconnect can only exist so long, before people call it out in ways less polite than a post on an online forum.

Good point. Here's what it says in the policy re: Indigenous rituals ....

CAF members or attendees are not required to participate in any spiritual component of these practices.

... although I hear ya 100% re: what's in writing vs. being the one to say, "no, thanks" in public in that kind of situation.
