I will assume Shulamit that you don't have any knowledge of the history of Canada or our charter. You are also ignorant of  the fact that Canada was founded on the principles of Christianity and those Values  have made Canada the  great country that  it is. How dare you label Canadians who don't agree with you as Islamophobic. Truly pathetic!
