Misogynist Behaviour: Survey Question and Canadian Tradition

misogynist behaviour: Tory MP Maxime Bernier arrives to the offices of the Conservative Party on April 7, 2016 in Ottawa, according to Huffington Post Canada. It generated a lot of reaction among political observers, including Conservatives, especially since Leitch had previously expressed regret for promoting a controversial Conservative election campaign promise last year to set up a tip line for so-called "barbaric cultural practices." Leitch defended the provocative survey question, saying she feels strongly about screening out people who hold anti-Canadian values, including intolerance towards other religions, cultures and sexual orientations, violent and/or misogynist behaviour and a lack of acceptance of the "Canadian tradition of personal and economic freedoms." Bernier said he agrees with Leitch that Canadian values exist and he defined them as equality before the law and equality between men and women, as well as tolerance, freedom and respect. "The problem of radical Islam does not concern only immigrants but also people born in this country." "They are fundamental. The Conservative Quebec MP was responding to an idea floated last week by leadership rival Kellie Leitch, whose campaign asked supporters in an email questionnaire whether the federal government should screen potential immigrants and refugees for what it called anti-Canadian values. They are in line with Western society, and we must promote them in public policy," Bernier said. Bernier noted that Michael Zehaf Bibeau, the gunman who stormed Parliament Hill nearly two years ago after fatally shooting an honour guard at the nearby National War Memorial, was born in Canada. But he disagreed with the idea of vetting immigrants and not just because he does not believe it would work. "The problem of radical Islam does not concern only immigrants but also people born in this country," said Bernier. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
