leitch: A new Forum Research Inc. poll for the Toronto Star shows that Leitch may be tapping into an idea that Canadians favour with 67 per cent saying immigrants should indeed be screened for "anti-Canadian values." More importantly for Leitch, the poll shows that the idea is especially popular among Conservative supporters with 87 per cent backing the idea and just eight per cent opposed compared to 57 per cent support among Liberals and 59 per cent for New Democrat voters, according to The Waterloo Record. That certain to be the reason that Leitch proposed the idea — and has stuck by it in the face of criticism, said Lorne Bozinoff, president of Forum Research. "If you're going after the base, this is like red meat for them. Conservative MP Kellie Leitch, a candidate in her party leadership contest, has floated the idea of screening newcomers for their attitudes on intolerance toward other religions, cultures and sexual orientations and reluctance to embrace Canadian freedoms. They're going to love this," he said Friday. "This is hitting the nail right on the head." When asked to choose the values respondents believe are important, equality came out on top , followed by patriotism , fairness and tolerance . Conservative backers put patriotism at the top their list of important values. Just one-quarter of respondents disagreed with the idea of screening for values and nine per cent had no opinion. Liberals and New Democrats ranked equality as their first choice. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

dog-whistle politics: So does rival leadership candidate and Calgary MP Deepak Obhrai, according to The Waterloo Record. Critics accuse the Collingwood physician of trying to whip up anti-Muslim sentiment. Interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose says it a bad idea. Ontario MP Michael Chong, who is also contesting the Conservative leadership, has called her proposal "the worst of dog-whistle politics." She has been reviled in the country editorial pages as an intolerant xenophobe. I suspect that because she figures a lot of Conservative Party members — and a fair number of Canadians generally — agree with her. But she is sticking to her guns, as she did Thursday on CBC Radio.

knots: The NDP has had its own existential crisis this week, leaving a federal political landscape with its two main opposition blocs consumed by internal disagreements over what their parties stand for and how they should seize the future, according to Brandon Sun. As they soul-search, the Liberals are edging ahead with new policies and approaches that could change the way we relate to the broader world. Conservative leadership contender Kellie Leitch polling on whether newcomers to the country should be screened for their Canadian-ness has her Conservative competitors tying themselves in knots, and the chattering classes wondering if there is a growing market of voters who would be driven to cast ballots based on how they perceive immigrants. Here are three ways federal politics affected Canadians this week:OPPOSITION DISORDERLeitch persistence on identity politics forced several of her rivals into a corner this week, prompting them to engage on the touchy subject of how much newcomers should be pushed into being like the rest of us.

party: None more so than Ontario PC MP Kellie Leitch, according to Brandon Sun. As of late, she appears bent on the style of "dog whistle" politics resonating south of the border. Although still in doubt as to whether some of the big players, such as former Tory defence minister Peter McKay, will step into the ring, much has been said by some of the smaller names to come forward. And although claiming to want to "create a discussion," her stance may threaten to derail her party search to find a credible leader. Little that is left, however, resembles the party of the late 1990s, and thus far even less represents the direction the Tories need to take if they hope to assume the top office in the country again any time soon. With former prime minister Stephen Harper steering his horse into the sunset, the dust seems to have settled now on the Conservatives. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

anti-canadian values: I don't think she understands the nuance around these issues, according to CTV. You have to be very careful in the way you articulate questions about integration." Leitch, a Conservative MP from Ontario, emailed a survey last week to supporters that included a question about whether the federal government should screen potential immigrants and refugees for "anti-Canadian values." She later said she is protecting Canadian values from people who believe that women are property and can be beaten or that gays and lesbians should be stoned. Following a speech in downtown Calgary on Friday, Kenney, who is seeking the Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership, said he believes Leitch is pursuing an "improvised position" without understanding the negative impact of her words. "I don't take her position seriously, she never articulated it before," Kenney said. "She never said a word about this in Parliament, caucus or cabinet. Despite widespread criticism including unflattering comparisons to U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, Leitch has defended her position that screening is needed without saying how immigration officials would actually vet new Canadians. He boasted Friday that more immigrants became permanent residents of Canada -- 1.5 million -- when he was minister than under any other immigration minister.

art installation: There, they were feted and photographed, but here in Nova Scotia, little attention was paid, according to The Chronicle Herald. Now, Sean Day, a Nova Scotian urban planner, hopes to bring the captain of the four-man crew back to Halifax to mark the anniversary of the brave voyage with a ceremony beside the water, likely in October, and later, he hopes, an art installation. After a perilous 88-day journey during which they encountered sharks, storms and near-starvation, the men landed in England. Day said it would be fitting to take Henri Beaudout, now 89 and the sole surviving member of the crew, on a boat ride of the harbour so he could feel the swell of the Atlantic under him. Speaking by phone Friday with his close friend Louis Hardy acting as translator, Beaudout tells how, as a 16-year-old during the war in Europe, he ran messages for the French Resistance, until his contact, a postal clerk, was arrested. In 1952 Beaudout was a French immigrant to Canada, struggling with what modern scientists call post-traumatic stress disorder. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

canadian tradition: By Paul Wells National Affairs Fri., Sept. 9, 2016 In fairness to Kellie Leitch — no wait, come back — it would have been surprising if no candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada leadership had run on identity politics, according to Toronto Star. Leitch, of course, is the physician and Conservative MP who has been vaulted from obscurity into a sort of pallid, sickly limelight for suggesting it would be a swell idea to screen potential immigrants for anti-Canadian views that 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. In the current field of certain or probable candidates, the two who most closely fit those requirements are Andrew Scheer, the former Commons Speaker, above, and Erin O'Toole, writes Paul Wells. There are enough examples around the world of politicians who have sought to profit from fear of outsiders that I was actually wondering, before Leitch made her move, why that particular tactical position seemed destined to lay unoccupied in the Conservative race. Trump, in particular, will have plenty of imitators in years to come.

english-rights manifesto: Indeed, days before it opened, a neighbour told me bluntly that the wooden barracks that were the temporary home of my new high school would be burned down before year end, according to The Waterloo Record. Had a government at the time of the War Measures Act set up a snitch line to report on so-called barbarian cultural practices or their 1970 equivalent, the French-speaking communities that lived outside Quebec would have been considered by many as the ground zero for the fostering of anti-Canadian values. At the time the school was the target of enough anonymous threats to warrant extra police protection. Those were the days when an English-rights manifesto famously titled Bilingual Today, French Tomorrow became a bestseller in some circles. The masterminds behind the residential school system that destroyed the social fabric of so many of Canada indigenous communities were even more imbued with notions of superiority as to their values. The then-Progressive Conservative party in particular was home to a solid contingent of followers who thought a Quebec-led federal government was out to use official bilingualism to wipe the English language and the country British heritage and values off the Canadian map.

backroom insights: Order this photo By Bob Hepburn Politics Thu., Sept. 8, 2016 When Olivia Chow first entered the 2014 campaign to become Toronto next mayor she was considered the overwhelming favourite to win the race against Rob Ford and John Tory, according to Toronto Star. Her name recognition was high as an NDP MP and as the widow of the late Jack Layton, she had raised lots of money, had an experienced campaign team, a bulletproof election platform and hundreds of eager volunteers. A book being published his month by Chow campaign manager, John Laschinger, provides backroom insights into the failed campaign despite Chow being the early frontrunner to replace then-mayor Rob Ford.

canadian press: The newspaper said the TDSB tried to accommodate the family by offering a variety of solutions, including one that would see the children learn about the history of music in Islam, but the father turned them down, according to The Chronicle Herald. A TDSB spokesman declined to discuss the case with The Canadian Press on Thursday citing privacy reasons, but he said the board "always works with parents to try to find some happy medium" while at the same time still following Ministry of Education rules. "Unfortunately we can't offer exemptions because we are required to teach the Ontario curriculum," Ryan Bird said. Mohammad Nouman Dasu has been engaged in a three-year fight with the Toronto District School Board over his decision to take his children home for an hour during music class, according to the Globe and Mail, which first reported about the case earlier this week. Lauren Bialystok, an assistant professor in ethics and education at the University of Toronto, believes the school board did the right thing by refusing to exempt the children from music class. "An exemption gives too much power to parental management of the child education," she said. "It does a disservice to the student in question and to that student peers and it communicates that our diversity is such that we can't live together or learn about different things together. The problem, Ippolito said, lies in the question "where do you draw the line " "That the wrong question, that inflammatory," he said. "The kind of questions we should be asking is 'how do we move this conversation forward '" Ippolito believes the solution to these problems, which he said pop up all the time, rests in the relationships between educators and parents. That a very dangerous message." John Ippolito, an associate professor in the faculty of education at York University, said he believes schools are doing a pretty good job in accommodating a whole slew of parental concerns, but the problem should never reach a standoff.
