When I worked for Disney you couldn’t have more than a mustache. I once asked why this rule wasn’t applied to female cast members, it went well lol!

LELO_TV · 2022-07-06T12:19:20+00:00

I guess "my body my choice" doesn't apply to men 🤷🏻‍♂️

xdzgor · 2022-07-06T10:45:05+00:00

Regardless religious reasons, beards are a natural part of most men's anatomy. This is totally sex discrimination.

Awe_Rux · 2022-07-06T11:02:32+00:00

no-beards rule

Can Canada just fast forward to the point where men have to wear cages to contain their toxic masculinity please? Let's stop beating around the bushes.

hedic · 2022-07-06T18:27:53+00:00

Not only was this discrimination it was also dumb as hell. Protecting people is literally a part of their religion. You can't buy that kind of dedication to a job.

GltyUntlPrvnInncnt · 2022-07-06T14:15:40+00:00

There has been a lot of talking about bodily autonomy lately. I guess it's only for women.

AppropriateNet8777 · 2022-07-06T12:09:46+00:00

It seems that Canada has been becoming more n more authoritarian in the past few years, to me atleast.

My body my what?

Large-Cherry · 2022-07-06T19:04:35+00:00

Sikhs are some of the most brave and respectful of all people... what a shame to lose them as security guards for something as dumb as this. The country is less safe because of this. Shame.

CawlinAlcarz · 2022-07-06T19:53:20+00:00

Oh hey look! More body autonomy from Canada.

Gingerchaun · 2022-07-06T11:32:11+00:00

The only time it's acceptable to force someone to shave for work is when it's requires a positive fit test on respirators.

The mask has to be able to suction onto your face basically.

ForgotOldAcc-_- · 2022-07-06T19:38:00+00:00

Canada went from the most based to the second biggest shithole of the western society real quick

C7000x · 2022-07-06T20:52:20+00:00

The first amendment don’t exist in Canada.

fasterpastor2 · 2022-07-07T02:01:01+00:00

As a Christian with a beard, I will fight for these Sikhs rights...never thought I'd say that.

whtsnk · 2022-07-06T18:15:16+00:00

This is the world that feminists want :(

odysseytree · 2022-07-06T11:35:25+00:00

Some feminists are definitely behind this policy.

JACSliver · 2022-07-06T12:11:14+00:00

"No-beards"? Alright, No-money and No-visit for Toronto then.

sunlitekid01 · 2022-07-06T12:47:31+00:00

I don't know about this one. This was specifically for the N95 masking mandates during peak covid.

I also understand the religious aspect but I think this has more to do with the fact that public safety was allowed to trample on individual religious freedom.

strawberryredpanda · 2022-07-07T12:27:29+00:00

This is upsetting. We love the Sikhs and I love my long uncut, colored hair and my long untrimmed beard. Love from Wisconsin.

delocalelectron · 2022-07-07T08:59:22+00:00

Just Gillette trying to recoup some of their lost market share. By force.

throwawayincelacc · 2022-07-07T16:19:42+00:00

Canada which had one of the worst responses to covid in the entire first world suddenly lays off 100 security guards because their N95 don't seat as well?

We're restricted from vaccines (because of federal incompetence in obtaining them), we were told masks are not important or helpful (at the start of the pandemic), we were told Covid posed no threats to Canadians, and covid restrictions were all lifted as soon as cases per day declined so they could promote business reopenings. But yea, let's blame the bearded security guards for covid.

Because...? I mean why is this a rule in the first place?

Toronto is a place that gets shit on by the rest of Canada because it often gets the "we're the center of the world" label applied to it. But one of the things Toronto likes to boast about is its cultural diversity and whatever other government buzzwords about tolerance and inclusion come along. So, with that in mind, it makes no sense to me at all that Toronto, of all places, would be ignorant of cultural grooming requirements.

JSutt771 · 2022-07-06T12:34:13+00:00

You can tell who in this thread read the article and who is reacting to the title.

aidank91 · 2022-07-06T18:09:01+00:00

I had to shave when getting fit for a respirator in an industrial setting. But I understood I rather save my lungs then sport the beard if required.

OctaviaPinfold · 2022-07-06T13:05:35+00:00

This has nothing to do with men's rights, people not complying with safety regulations were never allowed to just ignore them.

Sparrowphone · 2022-07-06T14:20:41+00:00

This has nothing to do with men's rights. People who need to wear a n95 mask to do their job shouldn't have beards.

Remember how much it annoys you when feminists make something that's not sexist into sexism?

Don't be like that.

RadioUnfriendly · 2022-07-06T16:51:05+00:00

Dat's waycist.

Fear of covid is more important than racism.

No it's not!

Yes it is!

chakan2 · 2022-07-06T13:41:11+00:00

“No one should have to choose between their faith and paying the bills

Incorrect...you SHOULD have to choose between your faith and public health.

miserybusiness21 · 2022-07-06T16:39:07+00:00

Religion is a choice. Religion has rules and people choose to follow them. If they choose not to follow them, excommunication.

Working is a choice. Working has rules and people choose to follow them. If they choose not to follow them, ex-employee.

If you religion matters more than your job, don't work a job that conflicts with your religion. End of story.

DirtyPartyMan · 2022-07-06T17:10:12+00:00

Sikhs are peaceful people. If the Toronto government doesn’t like Muslims they should just say so.

Paper & Cloth Covid Masks don’t need clean shaven faces. M19’s do but who’s wearing those outside of the infectious disease wards in hospitals?

jessi387 · 2022-07-06T14:30:20+00:00

Why is this ? Why did Toronto decides beards are not okay

nerdy-awesome-guy · 2022-07-07T02:35:35+00:00

At this point, I gladly welcome anything to destroy this planet to save the other planets.

pappo4ever · 2022-07-07T02:44:44+00:00

Imagine Christians, Jews and Muslims joining to fight against Toronto. I didn't see that coming.

suprmmman · 2022-07-07T15:24:02+00:00

Weird? Why??

Illustrious_Eagle_67 · 2022-07-08T01:44:32+00:00

It is not discrimination. All people have to follow the same rules. Religion and ethnicity claims do not change egalitarian, neutral rules.

Illustrious_Eagle_67 · 2022-07-08T01:46:38+00:00

The rules apply to everyone. They are not discriminatory.

miraak2077 · 2022-07-08T07:40:21+00:00

this was about masks being properly fitted and it was in homeless shelters. but okay

TuBachle · 2022-07-09T02:03:27+00:00

This isn't Men's Rights, it's Religious Rights. I have to shave every day before work for safety reasons as well. You can bet that I'd also be fired if I disagreed with those safety rules
