Mark my words: m-103 is provoking more of a backlash against islam in Canada than whatever "problem" it was designed to address in the first place. It is the perfect example of trying to solve an alleged "problem" and then, in the process, increasing and stabilizing that "problem" above and beyond anything that might have existed before. Pretty soon, all those smug liberal idealists who claim our happy "multicultural" Canada has no populist anti-islam movement like in Europe will have to eat their words. A more engaged, focused, geographically spread anti-islam movement is taking off here because of this - as evidenced by the small, but widely engaged protests at city halls across the country in the lead up to the vote. If you think the organization and engagement of these people are going away, just wait until the weather warms up and asylum seekers start flowing across the border in droves. This debate over m-103 is only the beginning of much larger developments to come...
