Anti-Muslim Paranoia: Values and Face Coverings

anti-muslim paranoia: At first I thought I was just against the kind of race-based, Trump-echoing version of "Canadian values" that Kellie Leitch is building her run for the Conservative leadership on, and which she advocated while backing the "barbaric cultural practices tip line" last election, according to Rabble. Our variation on right-wing U.S. "values voters." But there also a Quebec version. There nowhere else to go. Its Liberal government has introduced an update of the failed provincial "Charter of Values," which helped defeat the last Parti Quebecois government there. The Liberal bill focuses on face coverings. It clearly played on anti-Muslim paranoia. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
