She is not proposing that they just obey the law. She is proposing to test them on their beliefs concerning 'Canadian values.'
Since we're talking here about an official test, it would necessarily test official 'values.' So what are those official 'values.' The most obvious ones would be those of the constitution. To obey the constitution is one thing. To agree with it takes it a whole leap further into controllinb people's beliefs. Heck, even I don't agree with many parts of the constitution and so even I don't uphold official Canadian values. And now we're going to ask foreign nationals to be more Canadian than Canadians?
Even I would fail that test unless I was willing to lie.
Sucha test would not even meet the standards of its own constitutional values. I do agree with parts of the Constitution none-the-less including freedom of belief. To be required to not only obey the law but to also agree with the law would be the grossest violation of a person's freedom of belief.
Probably. But this legend is maintained by the elite of ROC and politicians. First of all. the Quebec's federalists need this to argue that french is considered as "desirable" all over federation and, second reason, is to give a kind of "proof" that the ROC make "effort" for french peoples and it's a justification for the huge privileges that anglophones have in Quebec. Privilege that is not effectively existing in ROC for francophones.
he's mad because the young bright alt-right is on to his generations horsesh!t now and they're beginning to take action, shutting them down. his existence is tenuous.he thought he and his ilk were on to something but alas, temba, his eyes open.
anyway, it's lonely not being in the 67% of Canadians with common sense.
nervous and mad him is.
And I bet that 67% will be fighting among one another over what exactly those 'Canadian values' are. I bet many of them are thinking Quebec's values charter and how women are allowed to dress at citizenship ceremonies.
He is Gen X.
Nah. It's the blue collar brown people that are getting tired of Arabs and susti lefties.

Why are so many Quebecers leaving the province?
More Quebecers moving to other provinces, report says | Montreal Gazette
For the same reason that New-Brunswick and many other provinces lost peoples to go in Ontario, Alberta and BC.
Canadian values and Canadian law and Canadian constitution rights are not/may not/should not be identical.
educating imigrants on our laws seems more pragmatic than giving them a personality test if you know what I mean.
I agree. I'm just saying that Leitch seems to want to take it leaps further towards imposing beliefs on people that even Canadians like myself might not believe.
For all the horrific acts Catholics have unleashed on Canadians I hope this refusal can be retroactive.
She has made her 'values test' a central issue in her leadership campaign, and Evan asked a logical question about her politics of division and exclusion.
However, as we see, Leitch clearly lacks even the scintilla of integrity it would take to answer his question honestly.

Canadians are locked in their multicultural conception of relations with foreign cultures. They raised to the rank of untouchable dogma that Trudeauist policy.
Any questioning of this dogma is considered anti-Canadian and equated with racism. The discussion becomes impossible. This is not so much to find a better way for living together in society, but one that will find the way to crush the political enemy.
Immigration is a major challenge for all Western societies. Although there are obvious successes, it is clear that the current model causes problems. Close our eyes will not help anything.

I don't see the discussion becoming impossible. She has to specify what the 'screening' process will consist of so we can judge who would be eligible.
And the Trudeauist policy has seeped into strange quarters although on the bright side.....
Tony Clement and Kevin O’Leary have added their names to the list of high-profile Conservatives criticizing candidate Kellie Leitch’s plan to screen immigrants for anti-Canadian values.
O’Leary told The Canadian Press Monday that Leitch’s proposal is “totally un-Canadian.”
“I wouldn't be here if that kind of mandate existed," said the TV star and businessman, whose mother immigrated to Canada from Lebanon.

You'll see. Multiculturalism is a religion. The battle has just begun. Followers of the religion will play on the subjectivity of words to end up by make believe that all the supporters of any new "avenue" are intolerant. They will not win on the merits but on the fear and propaganda.
