Conservative Party leadership candidate Kellie Leitch caused a stir last week when she sent out a questionnaire asking Canadians if they think new immigrants should be screened to see if they have anti-Canadian values. The reaction from the left was predictable; but that paled in comparison to the reaction of high-profile members of the CPC from the interim leader to the other leadership candidates.
With the exception of Leitch, the notion that the main duty of a government is to protect its citizens has gone the way of the ten-cent cup of coffee. Political correctness rules. Anyone who opposes the notion that Canada should not allow immigrants who hate our way of life to come here is a xenophobe, a racist, a homophobe and most importantly, Islamophobic.
