Jason Kenney’s making it difficult for me to stay enthused about the Harper government.
If it were up to Jason Kenney, we wouldn't have The Michaels
Documents released today show that the original citizenship guide for new Canadians referenced the decriminalization of homosexuality in 1969, and the legalization of gay marriage in 2005.
The Toronto Star reports that Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, who’s lobbied against same sex marriage in parliament, ordered those sections removed from the initial drafts, and they weren’t included in the final printing.
As a federalist, I’m generally okay with an elected government writing the rules.
As a historian, I’m seriously disturbed when an elected government tries to rewrite history, or in Kenney’s cases ignore it completely.p
For the record, Canada accepts some gay refugees… Kenney just doesn’t want to advertise.
Thoughts?
