It is very sad and disappointing that supposedly feminist Trudeau stays silent on the bravery of Iranian women who as we speak risking their lives asking for basic human rights (freedom not to wear idiotic compulsory hijab) and correct terminology mankind to peoplekind while ignoring real actions. http://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/columnists/glavin-demonstrations-for-equality-in-iran-peoplekind-jokes-in-canada Well said Ottawa Citizen above. and below: It is also a fact that even if it were something as effortless as a strong and stern public statement warning the ayatollahs that we are all watching them, or some small gesture of affection and encouragement the House of Commons might make towards the Girls of Revolution Street, we are instead reduced to this.

Like I said ,it is not a word and all it does is divide the country even more. So I will ask you, why did he just pick just Islam, why not all religion. It is to curry favour will them, that is all. Google Imam preaching hate in canada, it might shock you. I wonder what the Italians and greeks think with justin putting them in the same boat as returning ISIS fighters.

Just like the 6 dead Canadians... oops, sorry to offend you... Muslims... last year. Nothing to worry about, unless you're asking somebody to say "Happy Holidays" then get out the flag and start bawling, everyone...

It was no joke.

Islamophobia is not even a word. The motion and any debate about it is fake.

Trudeau going back to US for 15th time as PM...he must want something. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-embarks-on-four-day-us-trip-1.4523136

Half my family came from Germany and were slaughtered there so to continue to read the arrogant, idiotic crap you spew on this forum which shows you presume to tell me or any of my people what the holoaust means to us and where we should live speaks loudly. Your words are pathetic. They reflect the words of an elitist sheltered Prince whose entire reality is constructed on self entitlement and the internet. The fact you would even answer the above shows just how pathological your need is to patronize Jews or any victims of genocide.

The Mufti died in 1974...a free man.

Very brave indeed and also add that this coincides with the centenary of suffragette movement.... There are essentially two political force that are challenging the conservative mullah establishment. Women and progressive intellectuals... Mullahs have long known about these forces which undermines their credibility. This is why even the more moderate parts of the establishment like the president Hassan Rouhani is atleast trying to show some empathy for these brave women by saying that their voice should be heard. However, in the grand scheme of things the power lies with Ali Khamenei the supreme leader. The issue is not about this piece of garment also called ‘manteau’ and ‘scarves’ inside Iran . The issue here underlies the dignity and the freedom of expression of these women which has been overlooked by the oppressive behaviour of the regime for the past four decades. Wearing the hijab has been one of the fundamental parts of the islamic rule since it came to power in Iran in 1978. It is very clear to me and anyone reading these articles that these women’s defiance of wearing this piece of garment may not be a direct challenge to the regime but preserving their feminism and women’s right. And there this underlies a bigger problem vis a vis the economy that are much harder to tackle. But for now freedom of expression and adhereing to democratic values are the order of the day....

I love the winter Olympics. It's the only time I can say I'm happy to live in a northern country cause our athletes do so well in those games. Go Canada! I don't like winter and the cold. As for the anthem, most people don't know the words anyway so the minor change to the lyrics won't be noticed by too many Canadians.

What would be said year ago when someone used the term Tubby? We would get outrage and posts flagged and deleted. Now however the self righteous continually try the same bullcrap. Yes Caroline Mulroney will be interesting, but she has yet to even participate in a general election as a backbench candidate at any level of government. Give her another 6-8 years before trumping her out as a leadership candidate.

Hamas will eventually attack...again. Another war in Gaza. Rinse, repeat.

We know what was said and done.

It's a fact...not something that can be fixed. Of course it wasn't 'the right thing to do'. Nor was entertaining a Jew-free state for one of the Holocaust's key figures. We still do that...

Trudeau confronts woman at Town Hall over her use of the word "Mankind"- (Young woman)'We came here today to ask you to also look into the policies that religious charitable organizations have in our legislations so that it can also be changed because maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind.' At this point, Trudeau interrupted her and said: 'We like to say peoplekind, not necessarily mankind because it's more inclusive.' Link Mr.Trudeau. "peoplekind" is not a real word.

Why is it impossible for you to accept that there are women who freely choose to wear hijabs? Further to that are you completely oblivious to the incongruity of trying to protect women from doing something against their will by forcing them to do something against their will?
