I'm certain many Canadians rubbed their eyes in dishonesty when they saw the headlines which Citizenship as well as Immigration Minister Jason Kenney had launched the brand brand brand brand brand new beam for immigrants wishing to spin Canadian citizens, the beam informing brand brand brand brand brand new arrivals which "barbaric" informative practices which physically harm women have been not tolerated here. The guidebook, called Discover Canada: The Rights as well as Responsibilities of Citizenship, will be required reading for newcomers, as well as contains the special territory upon "The Equality of Women as well as Men" (note the word order). It says: "...Canada's honesty as well as munificence do not magnify to barbarous informative practices which endure wedding abuse, 'honour killings,'...or alternative gender-based violence."
Barbaric? Barbaric? But, but, though which means the supervision is making, we know, the visualisation upon the informative practices of alternative people, the small of them people of colour! we consider we have arrived during the watershed impulse in the story of multiculturalism. Indeed, this competence be the "tear-down-this-wall" impulse when open contention of multiculturalism's disaster as the national process does not automatically confer the charge of racism.
Good upon Jason Kenney for indicating out the sold exposed czar of purposeful blindness to the special injustices many newcomer women go upon to suffer, even after two generations of Canadian citizenship, because of informative "values" which do not diminish with time, as well as have been upheld down from the single era to the next. For as well prolonged in the West, assault directed opposite girls as well as women from honour/shame societies by their masculine relatives, often with the complicity of their womanlike relatives, has been wrongly lumped in with all done during home viole! nce. A f ake homogenization of the two types of crime is championed by gender ideologues who can't bear the thought which the small forms of assault opposite women have been the culturally imposed pathology as well as not, as they would prefer, the comfortless though predicted e.g. of the inherent assault as well as determining instincts of all men. One can assimilate their discomfiture: Honour killings as well as the ubiquitous termination of women in alternative cultures is essentially explanation which drawn out or approved assault opposite women is the cultural, not the genetically-based phenomenon.
Ideologues have been silently abetted by racial associations which during best omit the abuse as well as during worst deflect criticism from their informative traditions by insisting such abuse is normative. When 16-year old Toronto lady Aqsa Parvez was murdered in 2007 by her father for not wearing the hijab, Mohammed Elmasry of the Canadian Islamic Congress brushed it off: "I do not wish the open to consider which this is an Islamic emanate or an newcomer issue. It is the teenager issue," the dumbing-down of the abhorrence which quite takes the exhale away. But he is right about the single thing: Honour murdering is mostly (about 90%), though not solely, the use of Muslim societies. Occasional honour killings, as well as positively the good understanding of abuse is visited upon girls as well as women in Sikh, Hindu as well as alternative groups from South Asia as well as the Middle East.
And whilst honour killings have been the minority of all done during home killings, they contingency be recognized as sui generis. Lenore Walker, writer of The Battered Woman Syndrome, records the disproportion in between the victim-perpetrator in honour killings as well as those in western society: "In standard done during home assault involving westerners, it is singular for brothers to kill sisters or for masculine cousins to kill womanlike cousins. And whilst kid abuse occurs in which fathers co! mpetence kill infants as well as children, it is unequivocally singular for Western fathers to kill teenage daughters." In the West it is far some-more standard for fathers who debate of their daughters' lifestyle or poise to shun them or disassociate from them.
There have been the total slew of differences upon top of these in between honour murdering as well as normative done during home violence. You can find the theme addressed during length in Womens Studies highbrow Phyllis Chesler's in-depth diagnosis here. Perhaps right away which the supervision has "outed" the problem, we can proceed to residence it seriously as well as assistance the thousands of newcomer women who have been kept in stupidity of their rights.
We contingency do some-more than teach them. Because even when these brainwashed women spin wakeful they have rights, they have been customarily as well fearful of atonement for their perceived rebelliousness - as well as justifiably so - to plea the collective dogmas of their reciprocity groups. Any attempt toward self-assertion by women from honour/shame cultures arouses the enmity of not customarily masculine relatives, though authority total such as imams as well as alternative informative elites. Defining their rights collectively, not individually, total communities will mount in oneness opposite these sold women's attempts to mangle free from them, as well as punish any indications of the wish for autonomy. Feminists above all should await this bold beginning by the government. If they don't, they're not unequivocally feminists during all.

Great essay Barbara,
In regards to multiculturalism, I'm not entirely certain which it could be called the watershed, perhaps the beginning of it's logical demise?

Finally the small intelligence, discrimination is not racism. To discriminate we can chose the single option over an additional - the improved choice. Racism is discrimination by genetics only. MultiCULTURALism has zero to do with race!!!!! Culture is fluid as well as set up by groups making discriminatory choice. We do not have to accept BAD discriminatory choices done by the enlightenment to await multiculturism.
If we wish to be well known as something hypenated Canadian which means we contingency abandon those bad CULTURAL choices of your organisation as well as accept Canadian informative choices allowing concept HUMAN rights.
Unfortunately many of the loony left have no thought what we usually said!!!!
! ; by Smokey4531
Im certain which many people vital as well as working in Canada wish their fellow countrymen as well as women to live in the peaceful enlightenment without fright of barbarous traditions dragged here from unfamiliar shores.
Honour killings have been not done during home violence- is the true statement, no some-more than the Menendez boys bumping off their relatives could be considered done during home violence. When there is some-more than the single person perpetrating the crime it is customarily inferred which it has spin the swindling to commit which offense. In this box attempted murder for not following the set of eremite principals competence be the motive.
As many as we acquire the headlines of the Guideline Book upon the Rights as well as Responsibilities of Citizenship, Im sceptical upon rejoicing. After all there was the law in the rapist code referring to what the Menendez brothers did, though which law didnt stop them from murdering their parents. That was the law, this is the guideline, as well as as we all know discipline dont indispensably need to be followed.
Some of these people have come to the nation from extremely troubled backgrounds; the newcomer Vince Weiguang Li, who killed the immature masculine upon the bus out west, being the single of them. If the politicians wish to protect the borders afterwards we would have to screen all these people, which we dont have the resources to do. Seems identical to the Catch 22 situation.
To allude to Ms Kay, Feminists above all should await this bold beginning by the government. If they don't, they're not unequivocally feminists during all.End quote. Lets wait for as well as see if these gals can climb to the occasion.

Great article, Barbara! And bravo Mr Kenny!
Under Totalitarianism, the state trumps sold rights.
In anarchy, sold rights trump the state.
In the democracy there is the unchanging of these extremes for the good of all. However, underneath the multicultural policies as well as with the aid of the courts, this good as well as logical unchanging has spin rather the blurring which has considerably weakened the society. A multitude with no norms fall prey to all sorts of abuse. It is time to have an open debate to reestablish the true Canadian identity.
by Rob34
I assimilate Barbaras proclivity for essay this since it puts the catastrophic light upon the Muslim community.
Clearly Honour killings have been barbarous as well as should be condemned
Anyone know the series of Honour killings in Canada contend in the final 100 years? Listening to Barbara we would consider this is the genuine complaint confronting Women in Canada
by jerrylemco
Rob34, demeanour it up. Honour killings have been not usually in the Muslim community, although they have been many prevalent there. While Barbara refers to the honour killings, it is the enlightenment of the societies in subject which demeanour upon women as property which we do not wish to accept here. Or do we disagree? Discuss openly with your wife.

Rob34,
In regards to respect killing, we unequivocally need to visit Pamela Gellers web page.

Rob34, there were five cases of alleged honour killings this su! mmer alo ne. Guess that's not the complaint for you.
But we all know the genuine complaint is the rampant 'Islamophobic backlash' consisting of absolutely zero every time the Muslim blows up, kills or threatens someone because they printed the cartoon....

We design copies of this Guide to be sent to all Police Chiefs in Canada as well as have their visiable minority staffs take the test so there is no excuses!

As always the pleasure to review your disproportion madame.
Good thought Lawson, imperative denunciation training should additionally be implimented, if can't verbalise English how can those being abused speak? They should have to sense English to the level which women have been done to assimilate they have been equals in Canada. Women have been not worth half the value of men, we need to get the summary out in to newcomer communities as well as eremite enclaves.
by Rectificatif
Very good re-focusing of supervision process as well as State ideology. Good essay by Ms Kay.
A few quibbles by me.
- Female genital twisting as well as "honor" killings do occur, though they have been few in number, thank God. Therefore, the diction in this territory distorts the emanate of "what is the culture, what is not."
-- as well as that's precisely the point. This request should be the inexhaustible summary of what the enlightenment is, as follows:
- We have been the republic where the peaceful use of religion is both tolerated as well as encouraged, though :
- the law is meant for all as well as applies to all. We do not hook the law to residence in isolation eremite codes.
- We already have "Canadian values." They have been there to be schooled as well as loved. They do not include assault and/or hardship formed upon the sex of the adult (hey, maybe the word gender hasn't yet been translated in to Punjabi to meant "sex" as well as still means the ! gender o f common nouns!).
- Loyalty to Canada precludes faithfulness to any opposing national identity.
- It's the condition of citizenship which the applicant swears to respect Canadian law as well as Canadian values, as well as agrees to live by them.

Great editorial Barbara as well as the good performance by Jason Kenney.
Another disgraceful ethic/value of the Natural Governing Party exposed as well as right away likely of, withdrawal us to consternation why we accepted this for so prolonged as well as kept voting them behind in. Lets additionally goal Kenney sees to it which the boatload of Tamil Tigers have been sent back,before they set foot in the nation as well as eat up the tax income upon gratification as well as lawyers defending their "rights" for the subsequent 5 years.
And lets tell the bleeding hearts which approbation --Canada is no longer the retreat for the undesirables.In the disproportion of JFK--ask not what your nation can do for we though what we can do for your country. Surely the antithesis cannot criticize the supervision for taking advantage of the process of the former Democratic president!
Has any the single asked IGGY for todays view of the brand brand brand brand brand new immigration policy?
by DocBacon
Thank you, Minister Kenney, for in the future taking the stance which essentially reflects Canadians' views upon an important matter regarding immigration.
Now, if we can get identical open statements of common sense from the rest of the Ministers upon behalf of their respective portfolios, we'll have an choosing platform which will win the majority.

by Goose39
Wonderful! I've been wondering if the values many Canadians were lifted with would ever reappear, after political exactness began erasing anything deemed "judgemental" in the past generation.
Most of us assimilate we wish as well as need immigration to Canada. However it is catastrophic to spin aside the eyes as well as the screening from turning away immoderate believers in radical eremite strains. Surely we do not wish to have Canada develop in to the western Saudi Arabia, rich in resources, bereft of equality as well as solid humanity?
by CEOmike
Ahem, Sassy, English or French. The complaint is the embassy staff in the potential immigrants nation creates an subjective comment of denunciation skills for points. Many embassy staff have been essentially non-Canadian - failing locals creates tension. We need created tests noted in Ottawa. That is the single reason there have been so many immigrants with poor Engish/French skills.
by Rhino Party Whip
Kenny is looking improved as well as better.
by WCF
When we spin sixteen as well as have been wanting to get we drivers license, how regulated have been you? we find it droll which we would bring people from an additional enlightenment here as well as design them to know the manners without any grave tra! ining. w e would goal which the immigration program continues to set up upon what they have been right away starting. Perhaps requiring brand brand brand brand brand new immigrants to stay in supervision housing as well as undergo additional education to ensure we do not find an additional 4 females during the bottom of the lake in Ontario.
I'm happy to see which the Conservatives have been willing to demeanour these people in the face as well as tell them who we have been as well as how we got here. More importantly, how it is they contingency shift in sequence to fit in. The Liberals allowed proceed as well many people in which have been not ever going to fit in as well as we will pay the cost for it.
BTW, One honour murdering is as well much. I'd rather concede the females in as well as leave the males behind in their old country. They seem to be the one's which have been the complaint for the many part.

&! #13; I applaud the certain step taken by the Immigration Minister --- it is the education of women enslaved by years old barbarous practices which will in the future free them from the tyranny. Yes we can do some-more Barbara, instead of foolish debate upon the pages of NP upon Burke, those who have been unequivocally keen to assistance could be reaching out to these women no to pass visualisation though to familiarize them with shelters as well as alternative resources which have been available. You have created so many about barbarous practices of Muslims as well as womanlike circumcision in particular, how about essay to end the own barbarous use of masculine circumcision which formula in twisting of masculine genitals as well as scars males for the rest of their lives. Even genocide as well as series injury have been not which odd from masculine circumcision especially when it is achieved by non-medical professionals. Why the double standard?
by Unreasonable
Nice article, though I'm the bit unhappy by what we found upon the Gov's website. "Canadas honesty as well as munificence do not magnify to barbarous informative practices which endure wedding abuse, honour killings, womanlike genital mutilation, or alternative gender-based violence. Those guilty of these crimes have been severely punished underneath Canadas rapist laws." Our punishments aren't all which severe, we contend we deport them after they've! served their sentences.
by WhiteRabbit
Canada as the republic contingency never be frightened to mount up for the own convictions. It's about time we acted identical to adults.
by hunter902
Excellent start.
But we have the question...Does this HAVE to be customarily for potentially brand brand brand brand brand new Canadians, or could we have all people who right away have Canadian citizenship (including Quebec as well as aboriginals) to swear to this as well????
by Sassylassie
!
CEOMi ke there is no reason to design Immigrants to sense French outward of Quebec, it's an unnecessary burden to damp the Frankos during good expense. we determine there should be the denunciation exam conducted by the in isolation organization with no ties to the Immigration department or the embassies.
by agnusdeiboom
The term 'honor killing' is dubious as well as doesn't reflect what is essentially happening. It should be called 'coward killing' this is what it is when organisation as well as family kill or harm without protection female.
by Rectificatif
"Does this HAVE to be customarily for potentially brand brand brand brand brand new Canadians, or could we have all people who right away have Canadian citizenship.."
... certain we could. We could make all foreign-language radio as well as TV stations mouth the brand brand brand brand brand new policy. Ten times the week.
Also, we can increase the hazard of the law. Capital low mark as halt for "honor killings" -- right a! way ther e's the good proceed to steal from unfamiliar authorised traditions.

"...Canada's honesty as well as munificence do not magnify to barbarous informative practices which endure wedding abuse, 'honour killings,'...or alternative gender-based violence."
If Ms.Kay unequivocally believes the NDP as well as Liberals await "honour killings...etc" afterwards she has no business essay for the vital newspaper.

Great essay Barbara,
It's usually politics, the brand brand brand brand brand new citizenship beam won't make any difference. Immigrants will simply omit any such Canadian values as well as go upon forming communities populated by their own people.
Feminist's do not caring about immigrants, they customarily caring about the large amounts of supervision income they can get for their own hypocritical agenda.
Kenney missed the opportunity to inform immigrants which Canada is the full fledged matriarchy with chauvenist politicians pandering to feminist causes.

The supervision has done no changes to law or process relating to citizenship or immigration. They have simply renewed the investigate beam for the citizenship exam.
Furthermore, the beam itself contains the toll publicity of Canadas proceed to multiculturalism. Of course, it refers to the tangible policies as well as not the purposeful misrepresentations of critics.

It cannot be steady enough as well as we have been starting to see the dilemma turned with this brand brand brand brand brand new book ! by Mr. K enney. No the single gets in to this nation unless they swear allegiance to the physical republic called Canada as well as not their eremite or barbarous informative practices.
Those already here who cannot heed to Canadian values represented by the vital modern physical democracy need to be observed. They have been by their unequivocally incapacity to heed showing they have been brainwashed by the convictions which competence benefaction the danger to this countries, values as well as ideals. Someone wearing the Burkha for e.g. is by the PC definition sportive freedom of expression.
I, however, see an oppressed lady cow towing to the rigid masculine primogenitor who cannot be stretchable enough to heed to the overwhelming vast infancy of Canadians - yet Libs as well as socialists cannot see the dichotomy it represents. This man's rigidity, in as well as of itself, is the sign of fragile dogmatism toward the infancy as well as he needs to be watched.
Another good e.g. is in the G&M where Wente is in the future coming to grips with honour killings being the horrendous use which victimizes women. The engaging thing is the G&M, as usual, won't concede comments for authorised reasons. What the cop-out. They have been afraid the HRC competence pick upon them for having the contention about these obsolete informative practices or the small of the comments competence scatter their authorised advisers feathers. Its which kind of MSM self-censorship which got us to this indicate in the initial place. Read about it here www.theglobeandmail.com/.../article1359953
Maybe the clueless ideologues over during Status of Woman Canada will spend the small of those tax dollars to understanding with these genuine obsolete eremite patriarchs who unequivocally do abuse as well as kill their women as the informative use rather than keep up the barbarous misandry of all organisation have been aroused all women benign.
Why do not they set up the fem-stalker program to comply all the husbands/! fathers who make their women wear Burkhas. There have been your potential terrrorists as well as women killers who deserve to be watched as well as "cured". An unit of prevention we know!!! :)

Denis P., we identical to your style. Let's go get the beer!
The brand brand brand brand brand new matter is fine, though it's ad-hoc, as well as piecemeal. Big surprise -- Harper can't even be bothered to dissolve the HRCs.
Deploring the murdering of one's daughter is an extraordinary beginning in this day as well as age, granted, though it won't put us in to any thesaurus of universe philosophy.
We should have the comprehensive matter of what we design of the brand brand brand brand brand new citizens. It should start off with things they competence find honestly off-putting, such as the fact which we're formed upon European Enlightenment, not oriental tribalism.
by l.finer
This initial step, which we applaud, leads to the small questions.
Why would we! wish to let people leave the country to Canada who we have to advise about not committing honour killings? Isn't which identical to opening your front doorway to the well known psycho-killer as well as revelation him which he has to follow the manners of the house?
Also, do we not endure honour killings or genital twisting of girls? Exactly how many years in prison will someone get if he commits these crimes? In reality, Canada's rapist laws for these crimes have been not the clever deterrant as well as these girls as well as women have been not protected.
