Political Leaders and Federal Election Campaign

: And it is the responsibility of political leaders – and I got into trouble a few days ago because I said that publicly – it is the responsibility of political leaders not to feed the fire in a very negative way, according to Globe and Mail. The 11-week federal election campaign that resulted in a resounding Liberal majority last month included highly charged debates over the wearing of face-coverings by less than a handful of Muslim women at citizenship swearing-in ceremonies and a Conservative proposal for a barbaric cultural practices hotline where it was suggested neighbours might report suspect behaviour. They exist, said the Quebec premier. The Paris terrorist attacks, for which Islamic extremists have claimed responsibility, combined with Trudeau logistically daunting plan for the speedy acceptance of Syrian refugees, has proven a potent cocktail that reignited the worst of the election debate and more. A Muslim student at Ottawa Carleton University reported she found a note in her mailbox saying: Canada is no place for immigrants or terrorists. In Toronto this week, two women wearing hijabs on the subway were harassed and pushed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
