Canada reminds immigrants that honor killings not allowed

The city of Gatineau has published a handy primer on Canadian values for recent immigrants.

Newcomers are reminded that the sexual abuse of their children is not permitted under Canadian law, nor are forced labor or willful malnutrition.

Immigrants coming to Canada with hopes that they would be allowed to starve their children will be disappointed.

They will likewise be disappointed that Canadians take a dim view of female genital mutilation. While Canadians generally twist themselves into knots to accommodate a multiplicity of ethnicities, someone obviously felt the ground rules needed to be spelled out.

Say goodbye to forced marriage, new immigrants. Oh, and in Canada “getting stoned” means something different than it meant in the old country.

Welcome to Canada. Once you get past the insulting paternalism it’s actually quite a pleasant place to live.
