anti-canadian values: I don't think she understands the nuance around these issues, according to CTV. You have to be very careful in the way you articulate questions about integration." Leitch, a Conservative MP from Ontario, emailed a survey last week to supporters that included a question about whether the federal government should screen potential immigrants and refugees for "anti-Canadian values." She later said she is protecting Canadian values from people who believe that women are property and can be beaten or that gays and lesbians should be stoned. Following a speech in downtown Calgary on Friday, Kenney, who is seeking the Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership, said he believes Leitch is pursuing an "improvised position" without understanding the negative impact of her words. "I don't take her position seriously, she never articulated it before," Kenney said. "She never said a word about this in Parliament, caucus or cabinet. Despite widespread criticism including unflattering comparisons to U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, Leitch has defended her position that screening is needed without saying how immigration officials would actually vet new Canadians. He boasted Friday that more immigrants became permanent residents of Canada -- 1.5 million -- when he was minister than under any other immigration minister. Kenney, a federal MP representing Calgary since 1997, was immigration minister from October 2008 to July 2013.
