People: Christian Idealism and Hungarian Refugees

people: It is one of a piece with our welcome of Hungarian refugees in 1956 and Vietnamese boat people in the later 1970s, according to The Waterloo Record. I am also opposed to racial or religious discrimination against newcomers. It is an example of the Christian idealism that has informed the heritage of this country. We have a legal system capable of dealing with this kind of behaviour. Canadians should not be muzzled from free and open inquiry and discussion of the merits and shortcomings of any religious faith in Canada, including my own. On the other hand, however, I believe MP Iqra Khalid's motion in the House of Commons as well as that proposed by Nathalie Des Rosiers at Queen's Park seeking to outlaw so-called Islamophobia is going too far.
