We resurrected Obi Canuel's experience of being denied his religious freedom by the Province of British Columbia when he was denied to wear his religious head gear in his driver's licence photo, similar to that of a head wrap or turban. His story made waves in local media last year, but we all know the limited time mainstream media has to truly discuss ideas, so here it is, in depth and unedited. Obi is a philosophy major who is a member of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster aka Pastafarianism. He is an ordained minister within the church.
