#diversityisourstrenght #it's2017 we all know what to expect from Trudeau. Let's avoid the reality staring everyone in the face as if we can't see the state of civil society in every country in the world governed by religious law. Demanding that men and women are forbidden from physical contact with anyone of the opposite sex who isn't a family member is not a function of cultural relativism - it represents a regressive ideology that is fundamentally incompatible with Canadian values of gender equality. Canada's strengths are not only what we represent (gender equality, the rule of law, free expression) but also what we don't represent - we don't have blasphemy or apostasy laws, not because of "cultural differences" but because those laws are universally wrong. In Canada, there are no sacred cows - everything is fair game for satire or critical analysis - our society represents progress and our core values that allowed us to evolve to where we are should be defended accordingly.
