This is truly screwed up.
While Canada, like the United States of America, has a long Judeo-Christian tradition, if you try to accommodate these traditions, even at Christmas time, both public school systems will reject it because they pretend to adhere to secularism.
Unless we're talking Islam.
In Mississauga, a large Indian, Sikh and Muslim town near Toronto, Ontario, Islamic sermons are not only permitted, but the Peel school board there is refusing to monitor the content of the sermons, known as Jumm'ah prayer, in spite of the real risk of spreading jihad doctrine as experienced in many US mosques and madrassas.
The Toronto Star reported that "Islamic schools [madrassas], mosques in Canada are filled with extremist literature, according to a study." But the more frightening part of the study was that "the authors of the study say what worried them was not the presence of extremist literature, but that they found nothing but such writings in several mosque libraries and Islamic schools."
Nothing but jihad-oriented literature.
This past November, the Peel District School Board heard the complaints from Muslims who claim "that Muslim students feel stigmatized and targeted" because their Friday prayers were restricted to pre-approved sermons, whereas in the past, they were free to use any sermon they chose that was approved by the administrator (whose knowledge about Islamic sermons wasn't disclosed).
What this says is that Muslims get preferential treatment over Christians, Jews and other religions in Canada, as they apparently do in the USA too. And that Muslims don't want to go public with what is said behind closed doors.
That is truly screwed up.
Canada will become the first G7 nation to fully legalize the use of marijuana (aka: pot, weed, hashish, hemp, ganja, bhang, tea, bomb weed, bud, dab, diesel, fire, green, K.G.B. [Killer Green Bud], kind, kush, laughing grass, loud, Mary Jane, medical, mota, pakalolo, reefer, sticky icky, sungrown and wacky tabacky).
The stock prices of sticky icky reveal that investors believe there will be millions of users and thus, a multi-billion dollar market.
As to how it's regulated in Canada, the question is whether the nation will get it right. A task force recently made 80 recommendations to the government, among them, setting the age limit to 18.
Increased highway accidents are likely to be a problem facing Canadians and it would not be a surprise to see pakalolo border crossings into the United States by Canadians in search of profit.
Stay tuned.
College applications by U.S. snowflakes afraid of a Trump presidency has soared by 70 percent over last year to the University of Toronto. McMaster University's American applications have increased by 34 percent, according to the Associated Press.
"I think everybody in international education is a little uneasy, in part because some of the rhetoric in the campaign frightened people overseas,"Stephen Dunnet, Vice Provost at the University of Buffalo for international education (GO CHIPS!).
"It's going to be perhaps a bit rocky for a couple of years," he said, referring to the fears that potential college students have about differing opinions based upon success.
Canadian schools are recruiting in the U.S. more aggressively now that Trump has beaten a rich white woman who violated the Espionage Act and got away with it.
The University of Toronto held a panel in Washington, D.C. in December about the election in an effort to recruit prospective scared liberals.
And while none of the Hollywood leftists who swore they would move to Canada told the truth, at least we still have kids who are willing to run away, crying from the humiliation that Hillary Clinton couldn't even beat a reality TV guy with a 500 word vocabulary.
That's yoooooge.
