Vet Newcomers: Asian People and Canadian Women

vet newcomers: How will she do this By protecting us from immigrants, of course, according to Huffington Post Canada. Leitch proposal to vet newcomers for what she calls "anti-Canadian values" has been subject of many articles and conversations over the past few weeks. The Conservative leadership candidate said she'll protect Canadian women from people who "believe that women are property, that they can be beaten and bought or sold." She said she wants to protect gay men and lesbians from people who believe they "should be stoned," she told The Canadian Press this week. She vehemently denies that it is intolerant, or that it singles out Muslims and South Asian people. In our country, a woman is murdered by her intimate partner every six days. When a Canadian Press reporter suggested that views on violence against women and LGBTQ rights vary widely even within Canada, she said that was trivializing the issue. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
