Quit trying to turn Canada into an Islamic nation
Today, I am ANGRY. And this film is the reason why. It was made in Great Britain, where the problem is becoming frighteningly clear.

Will Canada be next? Already, there are signs that it is — and, to quote the late Queen Victoria, we are not amused.
Little by little, Islamic people who left their repressive, poverty-ridden, corrupt and dangerous countries behind and moved elsewhere are trying to eliminate the traditional values of the very countries that accepted Islamic refugees and offered them new opportunities and freedom from persecution. Now, some of these people are trying to change those same freedoms from their adopted countries.
Today in Canada, ordinary grocery stores, even in small towns, are now carrying halal foods. Why?
Did regular grocery stores ever carry kosher foods in the past? No.
Did they ever carry any other specialty foods based on religion in the past? No.
So why is Islam being catered to?
This offends me. A LOT.
If people want specialty items to meet their religious or cultural values, let them open their own specialty stores, the same way other religious and cultural groups have done for the last 200 years. I do not see why their religious and cultural beliefs should be forced into mainstream Canadian society in this way. There is no need for it.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers being allowed to wear turbans — that was the chisel that opened the door. If wearing the official uniform of a Mountie offended someone, then he should have made the choice to either become one and dress appropriately, or not enlist. Instead, Canada changed the uniform.
Now it's halal foods.
What will be next? Recognition of Sharia law? Women allowed to keep their faces completely covered in court or when being photographed for drivers' licences or health cards? How far will this go?
This is CANADA. It is not Pakistan or Iraq or Syria or Saudi Arabia or any other Islamic country. If you move to Canada, you need to follow Canadian laws and customs. We are not forcing you to change your religion, but neither should you try to force Canada to change its laws and customs just for you.
Quit trying to turn Canada into a clone of the country you left by taking advantage of the freedom and opportunities my country offered you. If you don't like Canada's laws and Canada's customs, then why did you come here? Instead of changing Canada to suit yourself, find another country that suits you better.
If you want to be Canadian, I welcome you. I don't care if you wear a head scarf or a sari or a galabya, or what church, synagogue, temple or mosque you do or don't attend. But if you want to turn Canada into what you left behind, then go. And don't let the door hit you on the way out.
