Apparently not quite as uncontradicted as you think: What Ms. Leitch is proposing is a solution in search of a problem. I would encourage her to read more academic research by social scientists, and even “commit sociology.” If she does, she will find that there is considerable evidence that immigrants do actually integrate into Canadian society. But your timing is interesting since it is Anti-Islamophobia day here. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/protest-us-consulate-islamophobia-white-supremacy-1.3967434

I have cited info. to support my claim various times but perhaps you chose to ignore things that refute your ideas. Any way here is what the government says they do regarding screening refugees. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/welcome/overview/security.asp And then maybe Kellie Leitch is not the most credible source to use on this issue, especially as she continues to try and flog her so called "Canadian Values" questionnaire. But let's let her Dr. Satzewich describe of how she misses the point regarding his work. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/kellie-leitch-misses-the-point-about-immigration/article32804170/

Contrary to your version of the immigration systems both here and in the US, refugees/immigrants are highly vetted which is why terrorist types aren't likely to get through. If you look at actual stats. from the US, they need to be much more concerned by home grown Hispanics.

Probably just as many cites that have been posted that show just how inflated your view of Islamic extremism/terrorism is.

I find from time to time I have to step back and shine a light on perhaps what are not so well thought out assumptions, and allow that plasticity to do what it is meant to do, and then usually wake up refreshed the next day, and sit at this keyboard and relive those experiences that feed that plasticity, some of which occured in Islamic country's. So there, I'm back on topic.

At the risk of being scolded for going a little off topic, what I find interesting is how we, you or I and our mutual friends, end up on one side or the other of this political divide, i.e. right or left, conservative or liberal. Is it our parental guidance, is it our education, life experiences, or who knows what type of external influence, or all of the above? I guess I will go with all of the above, but will add that I have been lucky enough to have had a job that sent me to some rather remote corners of this world, and I had some very interesting educational, and overall positive experiences that have convinced me that the last thing I wish to do is build a little wall around my little community, and hide in there. I'm not afraid of people with different colored skin, different languages, different foods, and even different religions. The world is only so big, but the population is ever bigger. We should learn to hold hands.

I think ignoring facts is what leads to conspiracy theories. And they seem to be on the rise of late, perhaps owing to the increasing extent of fake news and those who are willing to believe it. "The pizzareia" and all those types of things that seem to be rearing their ugly heads.

Here's one theory. Hopefully I'm not being redundant. http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/new-studies-show-liberals-and-conservatives-have-different-brain-structures

I think it's ultimately it's because progressives analyze facts much better as they are not hamstrung by xenophobic restrictive ideas.

Apparently the Saudis "screening" process didn't work so well leading up to 9-11. You know, those people who actually did attack America.

Sorry to burst that xenophobic bubble. http://www.globalresearch.ca/non-muslims-carried-out-more-than-90-of-all-terrorist-attacks-in-america/5333619 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/omar-alnatour/muslims-are-not-terrorist_b_8718000.html https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/01/trump-immigration-ban-terrorism/514361/

Alrighty then. And perhaps you will then listen more closely to Michael Moore as he also tried to send out a warning about Trump.

Perhaps you forgot to type the "dis" on the front of that word. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/317845-trump-has-lowest-approval-ratings-of-any-new-president-ever http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/03/politics/donald-trump-approval-rating/

We'll see how temporary it will be but the point is, why aren't Saudis "temporarily banned" for instance? I guess money (especially oil money) Trumps even Donald's form of xenophobia.

Oh, the Algerian. Are they on the list of 7? Nope. That list needs some work it seems.

I guess you are still laboring under the phony notion that the 9/11 folks came from Canada?

So you agree that Muslims from 7 country's are banned. I wonder why they forgot to include the ones that have actually done damage to US citizens, like maybe the ones flying the planes into the twin towers?

Could O'Leary have been more inappropriate with his little shoot 'em up video the same day as fumerals were being carried out im PQ after the Mosque shootimgs ? Maybe he should just stay in New York and try to cozy up to Trump a little more since they seem to be equally as insensitive? http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/oleary-gun-range-shooting-thursday-1.3963724

What do they say, since that's exactly how the F 35 works?

Apparently there are still some equally scary people as were discovered back at Stamford many years ago. Did we learn nothing? http://gizmodo.com/the-stanford-prison-experiment-student-torture-in-the-1550191185

Whatever.

no you don't, but luckily for me I do.

I have no idea how you marked your ballot,but you certainly have voted for him.

Well you can rest easy with Trump supporting your ideals these days.

I really don't think it's the money you are flailing around about. It's much more likely to do with some sort of religious conviction that I am not saddled with.
