misogynist behaviour: So as to assist those who feel like this can't be discussed, let discuss it, according to CBC. Precedents for a values test Leitch proposal is not without precedents. But, as it turns out, the "anti-Canadian values" Leitch believes new immigrants should be checked for include "intolerance towards other religions, cultures and sexual orientations, violent and/or misogynist behaviour and/or a lack of acceptance of our Canadian tradition of personal and economic freedoms." And this, Leitch explained in a statement on Friday, is "a policy proposal that I feel very strongly about." Kellie Leitch defends 'anti-Canadian values' survey question Should we screen immigrants for 'anti-Canadian values ' Kellie Leitch campaign wants to know Justin Trudeau fight with the forces of Brexit and Donald Trump Indeed, she later enthused to her supporters that, "We are going to have an open discussion about what Canadian values are and what they are not." "If you are tired of feeling like we can't discuss what our Canadian values are, then please help me to fight back by making a donation," she added. Two weeks ago, noted wall-enthusiast Donald Trump suggested that those hoping to become American citizens would undergo ideological screening, hearkening back to a Cold War policy that was meant to keep communists out. "Those who do not believe in our Constitution or who support bigotry and hatred will not be admitted for immigration into our country," he said. "Only those who we expect to flourish in our country and to embrace a tolerant American society should be issued visas." Belgium recently began to require that non-European migrants sign a pledge committing themselves to certain "values." In Canada, we do present potential citizens with a guide that explains our history and speaks of values, but we do not then check to make sure every newcomer believes fully and completely in each and every one of those ideals. How would we screen for beliefs Would immigrants be asked to confirm their agreement with a series of statements about equality How would we know they were telling the truth Would we hook them up to a lie detector Would we have public servants checking Twitter histories and Facebook profiles for evidence of intolerance or unacceptable views Are we comfortable with the idea of regulating beliefs Who defines the values and how they will be measured How specific would we get Would immigrants have to be fully supportive of same-sex marriage What about transgender rights What constitutes an intolerance for economic freedom Would that rule out socialists What about anyone with an inclination to vote for the NDP What great benefit would we derive from the effort And what would be the effect of such a test We might, for instance, imagine that living in Canada could open the mind of a homophobe, or at least provide his or her children with a good atmosphere in which to grow up. At the moment, it is not clear how Leitch imagines we should.
