Good points. The overwhelming majority of Canadians believe new immigrants should do more to integrate into Canadian society but the Globe continues to push a narrative that Canada should embrace cultural symbols that promote cultural segregation in every other country around the world, without exception. Gender equality, free expression, and freedom of sexual orientation are not a function of cultural relativism, they represent the difference between advanced liberal secular societies and regressive authoritarian regimes. Why should Canada give in to demands to accept cultural symbols (misrepresented as pious duty) that are only common in countries where gender equality and free expression are not only foreign concepts, they are opposed with extreme prejudice. Are we supposed to believe forcing hair to be covered is independent of the regressive culture? The fact that it's only common in countries where women are second class citizens is a function of cultural relativism? Really?
