Leitch: Canadian Values

leitch: The callous Leitch, who has been insisting lately that we consider a values test for prospective immigrants, simply wants to boost her brand by playing to racist and xenophobic fears of some Conservative party supporters, according to Toronto Star. Modern conservative groups keep questioning immigrants' values because they know their liberal political opponents, who are prone to the same prejudiced scapegoating, will struggle to condemn them. By Desmond Cole Thu., Sept. 15, 2016 Conservative MP and party leadership contender Kellie Leitch doesn't really want a conversation on Canadian values. Many have criticized Leitch proposal by saying it is impractical, since no one person or group can define or determine Canadian values. There are such things as Canadian values, and they explain how our politicians have been peddling a fear of foreigners for the last 150 years. That a nice idea, but in practice we know the values our politicians attempt to sell us are a reflection of our colonial, white, British, monarchical heritage. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
