Ontario Flirts With Sharia Disaster

Two stories from CP on this one. It is time to end this multicultural garbage for good and move back to the melting pot. People coming to this country should be required to learn our history and our language immediately. They should be required to uphold our laws under pain of deportation.

Sharia law debate badly skewed; Boyd says plan would restrict, not unleash
Marion Boyd has been both ridiculed and applauded as the supposed architect of Ontario opening its family law system to Muslim Sharia dispute resolution.
