At a time when the Canadian government has announced its commitment to take in 25,000 Muslim refugees “through immediate government sponsorship” despite opposition from the majority of Canadians, and despite a poll that showed that most Canadians want minorities to do more to assimilate, Trudeau Liberals have overhauled a citizenship test to remove condemnation of practices such as FGM and honor killings because many “felt it was anti-Muslim.” That feeling illustrates the stark truth that, like it or not, FGM and honor killings are known to Western non-Muslims as Islamic practices.
Instead of kowtowing to Muslim special interest groups, the Canadian government should be demonstrating a responsible commitment to Canada’s values, protecting innocent people from barbaric cultural practices, and protecting the human rights of all people.
“Trudeau Liberals Remove ‘Barbaric Cultural Practices’ From Citizenship Test”, by David Krayden, The Daily Caller, July 23, 2017:
Canada’s Liberal government has removed condemnation of “barbaric cultural practices” like Muslim honor killings and female genital mutilation from the study guide used to complete the Canadian citizenship exam.
The Canadian Press has obtained a copy of the soon-to-be-released guide and noted extensive revisions.
There’s also a new chapter on the evolution of LGBTQ rights in Canada and a section on how the country has historically discriminated against everyone from Japanese-Canadians to disabled Canadians.
The reference to “getting a job” as an obligation of Canadian citizenship has also been excised. The previous Conservative government reworked the document in 2011 when Jason Kenney was immigration minister.
Kenney, who has since left the federal scene to lead the Alberta Conservative party, included large portions of Canadian military history that emphasized the country’s contributions to major wars and not just to peacekeeping — as Liberal governments have tended to focus on. The passage that reminded potential citizens that female mutilation and honor killings are a crime in Canada was criticized by some because they felt it was “anti-Muslim.”
The new Liberal citizenship guide offers a different set of expectations in tune with the party’s ideological positions: mandatory obligations for potential Canadian citizens now include respecting “Indigenous Peoples” and treaties negotiated with native bands, paying income tax and completing all of the questions asked on the federal census.
The section that describes how Canada embraces the rights of LGBTQ groups was first proposed by government bureaucrats in the previous Conservative government but Kenney specifically overruled them, opting instead for one reference to same-sex marriage being legal in Canada.
Former Liberal Immigration Minister John McCallum said redesigning the study guide was a top priority when he assumed the office in 2015. While redacting references to female genital mutilation, the War of 1812 and working for a living, the new document also divides a citizen’s responsibilities between voluntary and mandatory obligations.
Voting, speaking both official languages, and upholding the human rights of others are voluntary responsibilities; obedience to the law, jury duty, filing income taxes. and respecting Indigenous treaties are mandatory.
“Today, Canadians, for example, can own their own homes and buy land thanks to treaties that the government negotiated,” the draft document suggests. “Every Canadian has responsibilities under those treaties as well. They are agreements of honor.”…..

Canada is dead
john spielman says
no I don’ think so , hopefully the Lie -beral party of Canada is or will be “dead” in the next election, we will remember Justin Trudopes – record of these heinous acts
andra says
I just wonder if Canada has got the time until the next election. The speed of Islamisation is far higher than it has ever been in Europe. And if the Canadians don´t watch out soon they will be under sharia law before they have the chance to vote the lefies out.
John Forbes says
CANADA is in REAL trouble with Muslim Justin because the islamization process is far faster with a clear preference for Islamic Immigration & a concerted watering down of both citizenship responsibilities to remove bARBARIC practices & the exclusion of Christians in immigration!
The fight back should happen NOW & be hard & fast because this JUSTIN is a disciple of SOROS & is anti Christian, Anti patriotism & set on replacing Christianity with ISLAM !
He is a DISGRACE, DISHONEST & a very Polished & practiced LIAR !
The OMAR KHADR disgrace illustrates this very clearly !!
Pumbar says
‘Canada is dead’
Hahaha, the hyperbole just gets better. By Christmas the entire Western world will be dead, finished, buried, pickled and then blasted into space in an unmarked coffin.
What a bunch of defeatists we have here.
P. MacDonald says
So will Muslims be required to respect LGBQT rights? Seems a bit of a conflict there. Which trumps which?
Guy Macher says
Whose rights are more important? The ones belonging to group who will kill you.
OVERTURNED BY HI says
that is so true!
Rev G says
Well, they are being honest in their assessment!
jayell says
Absolutely! They’re actually admitting that islam is a ‘barabaric culture’. Couldn’t be plainer than that, could it?
Jen says
Yes! Good point! And the those belonging to the Religion of the Permanently Offended hasn’t reacted to that? Wow.
Surprising!
andra says
Trudeau Liberals have overhauled a citizenship test to remove condemnation of practices such as FGM and honor killings because many “felt it was anti-Muslim”
—————————
But, if these practices are muslim practices – and I take it that the removal proves that the Canadian government believes them to be islamic, otherwise the condemnation could not be anti-muslim – should not be the correct decision not to let in people who practice FGM and honor killings (and infidel rape and infidel killing and and and)?
I really don´t get how the brains of islam-submissive politicians work.
The Western cultures have worked very hard to install the societes they have had these last decades. Why do they throw freedom and peace away and change it for barbary and war?
jack grandville says
You can relax a bit, Andra, because there is no viable evidence which proves that the Islam-submissive politicians actually have working brains — it is more of a lock-step zombie like willingness to appear to be compassionate and caring without any consideration for reality. It actually is a mental disorder.
david riddle says
Canada, welcome to islam with trudeau .Couldn’t make it up , you are so screwed!
Jaladhi says
I think Canada is heading towards barbarianism!!
Jen says
Umm. Just hold on a minute. Canadians are a looong way from barbarianism. We have a very strong sense of passive aggression. We’ve been pushed around by the British and/or Americans for a very long time. We may be small in numbers but we can hold our own without giving in to a bunch of prehistoric cavemen. Don’t be fooled by our politeness.
Jen says
Not that I am in any way comparing the British or the Americans to those backwards losers from the Camelcrapastan regions of the Middle East. I just mean that Canadians aren’t complete pushovers.
Jaladhi says
Jan, I am glad to see your spirit, however its your politicians(and ours as well) who are bringing this disaster upon us and we seem to have no say. There is no point in being cool and polite to the point of self annihilation!!
Jen says
Yes Jaladhi, I agree. I think Canadians are like everyone else…angry and worried and busy with jobs and kids and life. We need an uprising. The best group to organize it are the millions of retired baby boomers living on their pensions with lots of time to organize it. They don’t have to worry about stupid political correctness and losing their jobs because ot it. They are free to speak out because they’re retired. They carry a lot of weight with politicians because of their sheer numbers and they generally have a lot of influence on their children. Therefore, they could have a huge impact on government and I believe if well organized this grassroots movement could really grow quickly. We need a system for pushing back against this nonsense. We have our children and grandchildren to worry about.
Ru says
Jen
Well said..and the retiring baby boomers owe it to the next generations ……seeing they just ran up massive debts which they left them…..it’s the least they could do as reparation!
jack grandville says
There was a time in Canada when I was growing up wherein the acceptance into society was simple and straightforward. As I was taught, when complaining about a presumed right as all children do, due to the obvious lack of experience and knowledge, I had the right to respect my elders, I had the right to mind my manners, I had the right to respect my country and I had the right to breathe. I did not have the right to demand things, I did not have the right to be disrespectful, I did not have the right to ‘demand,’ I did not have the right to bully, I did not have the right to do or say ‘what I wanted.’ In other words, society, in general, was a far more polite and definitely more gracious in the day to day interactions between people.
somehistory says
They can’t list the description of poisonous snakes because the snakes would object, claiming it is anti-snake. So they allow the snakes to come in. But if anyone points out that they are poisonous snakes based on their speech and actions, they will accuse them of lying. The snakes will accuse those telling the truth of bigotry, racism, and snakeophobia. (Yes, I am aware phobia of snakes is a real documented condition. Ophidiophobia)
It is not unreasonable to recognize the danger a snake can present to an innocent human. Especially when the snake is described as a bunny rabbit. And especially when the person who tells the truth about the snake not being a bunny rabbit is charged with a crime.
This government is putting all its citizens at risk of snake bite. And it is fully aware.
Mike Young says
Trudeau and the Liberals are quickly showing and demonstrating that they are traitors to Canada and the western culture. Their all-inclusive ideology is quickly destroying freedom of thought and the power of the people. If the reverse situation had arose in a muslim country, just the mere suggestion of changing to a society with western traditionalism would probably get your head removed by the radicals/savages in those countries. As much of a trouble maker his father Pierre was at times, he still did not do or consider some of what his pot-smoking son is doing to our cultural laws. Pierre is probably rolling over in his grave.
John A. Marre says
Trudeau must have gotten some very firm orders from Obama. He is doing even more than Obama to bring Muslims into his country. Canadians are wussy sheep, and are doing nothing to stop this.
I doubt the Quebecois are such pussy-footed, shuffling, obsequious sycophants. Rise up, Quebecois! Or keeping the French culture will be the very least of your worries. Keeping your head on your shoulders will!
Jen says
The whole Western world are a bunch of wussies. We’ve had our values worn down or destroyed by a bunch of idiot marxists and now idiot muslims are trying to finish off….and all the while we pretend like nothings wrong. It’s the same in Europe and North America.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Justin “Pretty-in-Pink” Zoolander is only following a long standing Liberal tradition of using immigrants to get into power. Since the Liberal Party of Canada heavily represents Mohammadins in Canada, they can’t wait to bring them by the cart loads before the next federal election.
Jason “Look-Mom-I’m-a-Sikh” Kenney wasn’t much better. He tried to get the Conservatives to adopt the immigrant voter scam but it didn’t take. I’m relieved he’s out of federal politics.

All to do with bill M-103.

Canadian liberals have made Canada the slow-boiled frog.

QUOTE: Every Canadian has responsibilities under those treaties as well. They are agreements of honor.
Not only is the entire document a witches’ (and warlocks’) brew of subversive Leftist tropes, but also legally INCOMPETENT and written by uneducated “jobsworths.”
Expressions like “binding in honor” mean that an obligation CANNOT be sued on in court. For example, if A agrees to B’s dinner invitation but doesn’t show, B may complain about A’s inconsiderate behavior but it is understood that the deal is a social arrangement, not a legal contract.
Adrianne Smyth says
In UK we are of course privileged and delighted by the many unusual forms of cultural enrichment brought to our once great country by the numerous immigrants. However, it seems that honour killings are still considered to be against the current law, for the moment.
The newspapers are carrying he latest honour killing story which allegedly happened in the very wealthy London suburb of Wimbledon.

Note that while Trudeau provides the diversion of having his picture on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, he quietly legitimizes barbaric practices like FGM. WHAT A SNEAK!
Gamaliel says
This is all super wierd. The world used to persecute Jews and make up charges against them. They do that now against Israel. Yet when it comes to the Muslims they excuse every brutality they commit and deny the evil that is inherent to Islam. My belief has always been that when you don’t understand something think M O N E Y and I think we need to follow the money and see if Muslims are bribing liberal groups. I wonder how much money Muslims gave to elect Trudeau. How much money have they invested in the press?
Herman says
Any liberal voter is responsible for the destruction of (my? – don’t know if I still feel Canada being my country) Canada…
No “wir haben es nicht gewusst”: you voted for this scum, so YOU (liberals – all of them) are responsible and have (future) blood on your hands.

I am deeply disturbed by this. The inmates are definitely in charge of the asylum. I am ashamed of this government. We MUST stand against this garbage. I checked my facebook page this morning. Only one of three stories I posted show up. This too is unacceptable.
The world has been turned upside down and nobody cares. Party on, Dudes.
David says
Mr Trudeau’s cabinet is largely muslim.
Karen says
“Today, Canadians, for example, can own their own homes and buy land thanks to treaties that the government negotiated,”
That’s wonderful. But why won’t the government protect girls and women from FGM and honor killings? Native people are worthy of respect as a precondition of citizenship; what is wrong about setting expectations regarding FGM and honor killings?
