It's all just silliness. Why can't Pastafarians, KFC bucketheadians, Mopbukectians, the Collandarians and all the others that think wearing religious headgear will deliver them to a promised land ride under the same rules?

The marks on helmet is from a bike accident I had. If i would have had a cloth on my head I would have being dead or something else wrong. Why should I pay for someone with head injuries because of no helmet.

1st of all, glad to hear that you were protected in your accident and that you are ok.... However you living in Canada with socialized medicine, please explain to me how "you" would personally be paying for them?

The bigger picture.... We all bleed red and these kinds of debates and rules are EXACTLY what divides us.... It's sad really....

We are short beds/help in our health system. Someone pays for our health care (all albertans) sorry not just me. So we don't need people using health care foolishly. the law was/is there for safety in Canada.

That I totally get, man... My point was that allowing them "special" loopholes is what causes the division among us. No one is any more "special" than anyone else...
