The insidious halalification of your food supply is one of the first steps on the path of creeping sharia.  This form of religious slaughter has already infiltrated many of our elementary public schools.

Hand-slaughter and other religious meat-processing practices are more labour-intensive and hence, more expensive, not to mention more painful to the animal.  Canada's meat-processing guidelines have been developed to ensure the least-possible suffering to the animal, along with the highest concern for the food safety for the public.  Should you find your secular meat is the same price as the halal or kosher option, rest-assured that this increased cost has been absorbed into the cost of your secular meat.  This essentially constitutes a jizya that you're already paying.  Again, more creeping sharia.  You are well on your way to dhimmitude.   

If you don't know the meaning of "jizya" or "dhimmi", you're halfway to becoming a dhimmi.  Wake up my fellow "infidels".
